Study Task - Industry Research Presentation

1. Consider where your practice currently stands and what your ambitions are for it's future.

At the moment my practice contains shape driven, textured imagery. I want to take this into working on more publishing briefs, composition and content of imagery. Want to focus on more narrative as I like working from literature and stories.

2. The creative professionals you have identified to date, their work and the influence they may have on the development of your practice.

3. Who you intend to approach for an interview and why? What will your line of questioning be? How will this inform your practice?

I intent to approach either Jon or Tom from Handsome Frank Illustration Agency. They house some of my favourite illustrators including Helen Musselwhite, Paul Blow and Thomas Danthony.
Questions would be around what they think makes a good illustrator and how they choose who to represent, also the qualities within an illustration which make it successful.
My aim is to make some useful connections and gain advice from people who are experienced in the field.
