3 posters initial development + artist research

I kinda struggled with completing this task in time for the deadline because of my lack of motivation and other issues I've talked about. I think another thing that was stopping me from making a start on this task was fear? In a way I'm kinda scared to confront my qualities, because I feel I have a lot of bad ones. Things like procrastination and motivation. Especially in terms of the professional poster. But then I don't get a chance to prove my good qualities if I don't start the task - it's all kind of a vicious cycle. Anyway, here's my initial development:

I identified in the poster session that one of my main qualities is humour and one of my ambitions is to make people laugh. Along the lines of these low-fi, kinda naive illustrations:

(Laurina Paperina)

(Catherine Faulkner)

"Hairy Potter" - visual puns 

(Kate Abey)

This one is a business card but it's kinda like a mini professional poster for her practice.

(Mr. Heggie)

I also identified my ambition to tell stories. Either full-fledged graphic novels or just little moments in comics like these (again using humour):

(Rubyetc)

(Sarah Andersen)

So in myself I value my humour, my organisation (despite my procrastination my room and ways of recording information/time-keeping are usually pretty organised), and my open-mindedness. Professionally I value my organisation (again - workspace/time-keeping with appointments/calendars etc), my ability to innovate and create ideas, my humour and my flexibility. And my ambitions, again, are to make people laugh and tell stories.

SO

time to get crack-a-lackin'
