Module Aims
Explore the application of illustration for literature, including but not confined to editorial, publishing, eBooks and printed material.
To further examine the relationship between illustrator, client and agent.
Facilitate the student to apply appropriate materials and techniques to the development of interactive, digital and cross platform formats.
Content Summary
This project-based module will enable students to consider the specific role of the illustrator in the context of literature, publishing, editorial and text. Students will be required to respond to a brief aligned to industry and will produce imagery that fits a particular context of illustration. The emphasis will be cross-platform, incorporating both traditional print and digital publications such as eBooks. The intersection between traditional, physical printed matter and digital technology will be exploited and enable students to create work that is appropriate to a variety of interfaces and users.
Students will explore through lectures, seminars, project supervision and studio practice the various visual elements required by different publishing clients, gaining a deeper understanding of the production process and professional practice reflected by different forms of literature.
The opportunity to collaborate across courses in FCI and with external industry links will be greatly encouraged in this module.
