Brad HollandFor this project I'd like to consider the work of Brad Holland due to the fact he is more of traditional artist and uses paint for his work. Hollands use of paint allows for him to build atmosphere and even some of his work has ominous feeling, for example to painting of the horse bellow. With the other artists on here, they do not provoke that same feeling, as their work is more flat, or focused on body language. In this project I would like to experiment with making my illustrations look like Hollands work, as well as the other artists. Dan BejarDan Bejar's work is quite simple when it comes to his illustrations and use of colour, however it is affective and the get the point across. This kind of style is definitely more suited to the editorial work since it could be produced in a short period of time, luckily I have 2 weeks for more exploration. Nathan HackettNathan Hackett's work takes on a simple art style, however his illustrations are busy and full of little details that convey the idea he is trying to present. Having many figures in an illustration can be difficult, but it is always good to have a challenge. One thing that might help is setting a limited colour palette, as Hackett tends to stick with a certain number of colours, which prevents the illustrations getting too out of hand.
For this brief I have been given an article from an existing source, and from it must produce an editorial illustration/s to accompany it. Details will be provided along with the article and the illustrations created must be suited for the article in question and its source (for example The Guardian) The focus of these illustrations should be on conceptual art, which means it should take on a metaphorical depiction of the idea or theory that is being presented. Plant in the wrong spot? Now's the time to move it https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jan/23/plant-in-the-wrong-spot-nows-the-time-to-move-it The article that I have been given talks about the best time of year in which to move deciduous trees and shrubs in an effective way to prevent the death of the plants. This article audience is quite simple as it is most likely aimed at gardeners and plant lovers, so I should have a look at other articles, books and magazines that target this kind of demographic. I will also need to look into the process of moving deciduous trees an shrubs to see if I can find anymore details into the process, that hasn't already been discussed in the article.
