I am working with two illustrators: Janin Pineda and Rona Rylands
Why have you chosen to work with your creative partners?
Janin
I have chosen
to work with my partners; Rona (llustrator) and Aimee (graphic designer).
Ronas has a very neat organized style in her illustrating whereas I am more
experimental with my work. It will bring more structure to my drawings and idea
generation and ill be suited more to product design. Aimee will also help with
organization as the graphic designer and text, which we don’t have great
experience in. She also works a lot in vibrant colours like me so we can
include this in our designs.
Me
To
work with people with a more illustrative style as this is an area I’m
interested in. I have also chosen to work with my partners as I didn’t
previously know them and this is how it is going to be in industry. We will
work with each other on a professional level, as I don’t know them personally
already. We have chosen the Taylors coffee brief as we all have a mutual
interest in product design. I feel as if we will have a good cross over of
skill sets.
Rona
Working with Janin and Aimee will
give me a chance to cross over our illustrative/graphic skill sets and I will
learn from aimee how to
give my work a more graphic
aesthetic. Because we started this collaboration without knowing each other on
a personal level,
we will work on this brief
professionally.
As
both Janin and I are illustrators, we think and work in a similar way and
therefore will be able to pool our ideas and have more to work with. Working
with Aimee will teach me how to give my designs more structure.
What are your specific areas of creative interest in this brief?
Janin
My
specific area of creative interest in this brief will be drawing with collage
and line and idea generation as well as research and constant documentation. I
will modify images on Photoshop and help with backgrounds and textures and
colour.
Me
My interests lie within layout, type and colour. I am
interested in designing an new product for the age range that we are in. I also
have a keen interest in research and idea generation. Having a clear concept
will be key.
I will be project manager, meaning I am in charge of
organising when things need to be done by, and organising who is doing what.
Rona
My specific area of interest in
this brief will be the initial drawings for the production of work, as this
will then be passed onto Janin for editing and then Aimee for final
resolutions, layout and text.
What specific creative skills do you have to offer in relation to your chosen brief? How do you intend to use them?
Janin
I intend to use my drawing and exploration skills to help
with the idea generation for the illustrated packaging. I think my editing
skills are good on Photoshop and Illustrator which I will bring into this
project.
Me
My skills
being a graphic designer lie within type, layout and colour. I have more of a
graphic aesthetic compared to the illustrators I am working with. I have a keen
interest in hand rendered type, and enjoy working with a lot of colour. I am
good at exploring different techniques to narrow down to a final design for the
product.
Rona
As an illustrator, my skill sets
are largely drawing based, I work with fine liner pens and work to a simple
design aesthetic.
I have used hand drawn type in my
work before and found this a strength of mine. I will also use my i9dea
generation and explorative skills to base the later work.
What specific non-design skills do you have to offer in relation to your chosen brief? How do you intend to use them?
Janin
Non-design skills I can offer in this brief is research as
I enjoy researching a brief and finding a concept, I like coffee so can also
help input opinion and advice and critique. I will be documenting all along
alongside my partners.
Me
I have
good organization skills and can manage my time well. I have a good work ethic
and like to get things done.
Rona
I have good organisation skills.
I work well if I have plans and
deadlines. I think positivity is a good quality of mine, as it keeps the
workload enjoyable.
I
work well in a group as I know what I do affects them too.
What will your specific roles be in the collaboration in relation to your brief?
Janin
My individual responsibility in this project will be to manage my own time well and keep on top of everything. I will have to stay in contact with my partners and communicate with them well. I will have to stay organized and document things as I go on my blo
Me
We will
need to keep in contact; we now have each other on social media for point of
contact. It will be out own individual responsibility to turn up to sessions
and not let the group down. We will also need to keep up with our own
individual work and make sure we have equal work loads to make it fair.
Rona
My individual responsibilities in
relation to the brief are keeping up to date, communicating well with the
group, making sure we all have equal workloads and documenting as we go.
What will your joint
responsibilities be?
We will
all have the responsibility to research and generate ideas together. One of the
main responsibilities will be to keep up to date with each other and where we
are with the project. It will be a joint responsibility to chip in with money
and budget the project well.
Our joint responsibilities will be to get the work we set ourselves done
after group meetings. all going to split any costs. We will do any major decision
making together, to avoid falling out and staying professional.
