Education
U
U
Illustration BA (hons) University of Lincoln
Lincoln, United Kingdom
Most modules studied were focused on developing professional outcomes for creative briefs focusing on the end-user and target audience as well as learning new digital skills in order to adapt them for various aspects of the projects given.
For example, in our books and storytelling module, we were given the task of illustrating and printing a children’s dummy book using the Universities facilities. To complete this assignment, I researched the market to determine what would be appealing to the target audience. Then I created a mock book to test how the user would interact with it and how to best place my illustrations to improve the interaction and achieve the best possible experience for the user. After finishing my illustrations, I learned the Adobe InDesign program to format the pages of the book for print so they could be bound in the correct order and presented in a professional-looking manner.
