Here are my philosophies in design
Putting brains on paper.
I am able to place my ideas down on a mind map. being able to use radial thinking can help with writing down ideas which are relatable to the subject at hand or to the extreme. This makes planning and ideas come freely and help with development. Doing this can make an illustrator seem more open minded with in their briefs
Visuals are key.
In using visuals illustrators are able to capture the ideas which are formed from a mind map. With doing this an illustrator can show growth from an idea into a visual. Making visuals is a form of placing down ideas and development. This can come with character design and environment design. Doing this makes an illustrator a stronger visual developer.
Investigating the topic.
Researching is a vital technique to grow experiments and technique. Doing this will improve design technique. Finding research can come from many factors such as artist and reading content. Doing this will improve an illustrator to expand the knowledge of other artists and techniques. This will build skills in design.
Evolution for an artist.
An illustrator uses development to improve technique. In using skills its able to show understanding and wider thinking. An illustrator is able to build skills and have a sketchbook filled with experiments. Doing this shows that an illustrator is able to use their research and create techniques from their finds and which in doing so has finals and experiments to provide.
Its all about the tone.
Colours are important for development and visuals. Using colour can transform a visual into something more imaginative. Doing this can provide techniques into using a colour palette. An illustrator can improve style and technique with using colour. This can be done traditionally and digitally. Doing this is beneficial for the visuals and it makes the image come together.
The manufacture.
Post production can help with constructing an idea within design. On doing this it can explore more ideas and producing final out comes. This can create ideas for further development, creating more content. An illustrator can benefit from using post production in design. This is used for structure and content for a upcoming final product.
Getting ideas across.
Concepts are used in design for another expansion on research and ideas. Aims are used to keep an order with in designing. Using both helps to expand an illustrators skills and development with in visuals. Doing this can help with organising and having a final idea for the final product.
The aftereffect.
A final product is the main objective as a designer. This is prior for illustrators to know the objective, have a clear understanding on what the aims are and the ideas for the final product. Doing this will benefit all the other skills with in development and know the targets. An illustrator is beneficial to have a final product as its able to show technique and development skills. This shows that using skills, research and development can be useful for an illustrator.
