Late last week I was tasked with creating a set of ‘philosophies’ that define my practice as an illustrator. These can be about design narrative/context, visual aesthetics, workflow or personal preferences during the entire process.
This was much more challenging than it seemed- honestly I think I’m still building up to having a very distinct design aesthetic, but I definitely have a strong idea of what I want my work to portray in my head. The two don’t always come together in the final image (yet), but my process has a few unique facets to it that help me create my work.
The final list can be found here, as well as via the top menu bar: Info -> Design Philosophies.
Hopefully these shed some more light on my practice and design criteria, as I don’t often talk about it personally. I suppose that’s the point of a blog though~
