To come up with my values I began by listing key ideas and concepts that were important to me as an artist while working on my manifesto and artist statement.

To further develop my ideas with the portrait shapes we cut out during the workshop I experimented with photographing them in different layouts, lightings and colour variations etc ,to further understand what ideas I wanted to pursue further .

I enjoyed reading through a number of different books/comics full of colourful detailed illustrations students had made and it was inspiring to see what people from the same or similar courses to me had made .

I really enjoyed the students work on display at The Winter Art show for example how these pieces had creatively shaped frames and aesthetically pleasing colours within the imagery .

The website making workshop was a fun challenge to start to work with more computer based work and web design . This encouraged me to stop using the current layout I had for a Squarespace site and instead experiment with new recommended sites . Overall out of the ones that I tried , I found Hotglue was the most suitable for me .

I really like the line work in this piece because it reminds me of the manifesto inspiration I looked at .

I visited the Tate to get inspiration for my project and a sense of a creative environment.

This was a fun exercise that encouraged me to think creatively about what shapes and colours I wanted to use to illustrate the fruit.

During this project I also attended drawing club and used it as an opportunity to work on my character building skills as it felt relevant to the project in terms of the avatar workshops and me working on style experimentation.

During this workshop we were required to work in small groups to capture side profile photos of each other .

I chose to colour my portrait blue in a faded pattern because i wanted to represent the emotions of uncertainty I felt when it came to the adding colour part of the task .

This portfolio allowed me to be critical and specific about which work I upload and what best communicates my style in a more refined way .

Sarah Anderson is a web comic artist whos style inspired me to experiment with simplicity and a black and white colour theme for my illustrations in this project .

To develop a colour scheme I created specific palettes and moodboards of favourite colours to help construct a theme .

colour scheme design based off my favourite colours to encourage a sense of my personality in my work .

manifesto inspiration-Within the university resources I found this manifesto stood out the most to me and would be a key influence in producing my own manifesto . This is because i liked the simplicity of the text and straight to the point aspect , to apply this to my own work I researched key words that I associated with my personal and creative values into my own listed manifesto .

During this project I also thought about other times I have looked into my persona through art which is why Ive included this digital Self portrait from a project during first year where we reflected on who we are and what our interests are - here I have included hobbies like reading , sewing and painting .

Here I have combined two of my portraits to experiment with creating new shapes in the positive and negative space. In this version I also wanted to demonstrate contrasting colours to add to the theme of duality .

# data[].attributes.body
This workshop involved taking side profile photos and tracing them onto coloured paper . The shapes were a challenge to cut out but I enjoyed seeing the detailed result as it was a contrast to my simple style of work

Here is a draft of my manifesto layout , I decided to go with a comic board style piece to draw inspiration from the Red Alan manifestos creative boxes and doodle like style .

# data[].attributes.body
To create this piece I experimented with combining the first and second portraits I created in various ways , one thing I like about this one is how it connotes the idea of self growth and style to me . After various project exercises and reading over the project breif/aims these are ideas I have been thinking about throughout this self focussed project because it has given me a chance to reflect on how Ive changed as a person and how it has impacted my work . With this piece I think the idea is strongly demonstrated through the contrast in size angle and colour . The small black portrait facing backwards could be interpreted as a younger version of myself where I was less confident and felt restricted which could be linked further the tied back hairstyle and dark use of colour . However in contrast to this the larger portrait faces forwards with free flowing hair makes me think of freedom and self growth and confidence .

This is the self promotional video I created using animation to give a brief introduction to me as an artist ,where im located and what I do . I wanted the video to reflect certain traits and aspects of my personality such as a young clumsy and creative that loves to accessorise so I kept the animation quite playful and focused on using different colours and movements in a light-hearted way while also adding small details like clothes and jewellery to further give a sense of personality .

Here I have experimented with drawing myself in various styles and doodles as a relaxed exercise to help develop a design for my avatar of this project. I also wanted to incorporate the ideas from my developing colour scheme and mood boards to work on building up my personal style.
