This session started off with us writing all the jobs an Illustrator can do. Like the tasks of "where is illustration" we found that there are indeed LOTS of jobs an illustrator could do. People tend to think illustrators just do freelance illustration or kids books or whatever but there is a whole range of things an illustrator COULD do. This nicely led us on to 'Life's a Pitch' as it started us off fresh in the brain that we could basically pitch ANYTHING as our business, what's holding us back? NOTHING that's what!
In my Life's a Pitch group are George, Ellie, Tom and Frazer - people that I've not really spent a great deal of time around but I know their art style is very different to mine! This project seems like it's gonna be fun since we're all so different, we have different things to bring to the table.
We had 10 minutes to create a business idea! Normally this would have me screaming internally as I'm not very decisive at all! But luckily we had Tom in our group, who is decisive and knows a bit about business - a helpful asset! After some discussion we came up with the idea that for now we've called "Wallustration" (though... this is subject to change) (Wall + Illustration = Wallustration). Which would basically be a service offering bespoke wall art, for venues and events and including a live drawing element.
This idea capitalises on the fact that we have different styles as it gives us more to offer a client!
