Idea generation (Introduction to Illustration and Visual Media)

# data[].attributes.body
In this page of sketches, I generated rough ideas that correlate to unique plants and creatures using concepts combined from many different animals, creatures, plants and also my own unique ideas as well. With this illustrated page, I focused on outlines and shapes and plan to develop these ideas further and relate them to put project idea more cohesively.

Compiling all our images (Introduction to Illustration and Visual Media)

# data[].attributes.body
After we as a group collected our images and printed them out, we came together, cut each of them out and sorted the, into a collage, putting each image in certain sections where we thought the images connected and added notations as well as little doodles to help bring our ideas together better. After completing the collage, we currently have more or less a rough idea for what we are going to do for our zine page, thinking about outer space, environments as well as darker aspects. We are currently thinking about creating our own planet but are unsure.

Making a mind map (Introduction to Illustration and Visual Media)

# data[].attributes.body
Since we as a group are quite unsure on if we should go with our original idea, we have decided to make a mind map surrounding a general theme that we all want to explore, which is space. As we added more to the mind map, we kept on being drawn back to the idea of creating our own planet, leaning to all three of us doing a few doodles/sketches on rough ideas we have for the project. As a group we have decided to focus our project on creating our own planet.

Making a secondary mind map (Introduction to Illustration and Visual Media)

# data[].attributes.body
Since we are making a planet and there are only three of us all together, we decided to make a secondary mind map to explore what the planet will have in terms of environment, plants, animals, and even moons. With this we were able to section off which areas each of us would cover within each page of the making of the zine. This has helped us narrow down how we are going to execute this project

After a few discussions with my group mates, we were wondering how we would title our illustrative magazine. After a bit of brainstorming together and discussing our ideas between each other, we decided to name it ‘Utopia‘, as the planet in question that we are creating is going to be a sort of Utopia for the creatures and plant life that live there, and so we found it fitting. We are also thinking of making that the name of the planet as well.

Beginning our first project - Library Visit (Introduction to illustration and visual media)

# data[].attributes.body
I have been put into a group that I will work with to start our first project (Introduction to Illustration and visual media). In class we were tasked with going to the library to collect images and use the, to help us form an idea for our project. Here I have compiled all the images that I had found in the library from various photography and illustration books
