D&AD BRIEFS
The briefs that stand out to me out of the ones I’ve viewed today are from D&AD
Hasbro- Next Generation Party Games,
Fur For Animals
The National Autistic Society
The Hasbro Brief is particularly exciting as this is an idea I have toyed a lot with and looked to making in the past. I like to think of board games as a uniting factor within social situations and they always (if they’re any good) manage to liven up a gathering. My group of friends and I have recently taken to playing board games every time we meet up and always discuss possible game ideas, so it would be a great opportunity to put these ideas to the test! It is not illustration based and therefore would be somewhat irrelevant to my practice, but all the same I think it would be a rewarding and challenging project.
Fur For Animals is one that I feel would be very relevant and for a good cause. I also think it’s a sensitive issue and one that needs to be handled carefully. While I completely disapprove of the commercial fur trade, and fur in high fashion, there are definitely instances wherein owning a fur is the difference between life and death to people during winter or all year round. Where the animal isn’t wasted and is put to good use, feeding, sheltering, clothing and even helping families build tools. These are instances where it is a necessity, the irony being that the people who resort to these measures are the people that would be doing it sustainably if not for the high demand of the fur trade in our, and other first world countries. A very sad topic, but ever the more relevant, and one I would like to address as sensitively as possible. It seems to be a more illustration based project than many of the ones I came across on this website.
The National Autistic Society an organisation that deserves merit and a well thought out project. I think this would be a challenging brief and one that would prompt me to meet new people, learn about circumstances and gather a well rounded understanding in order to do this brief justice. It is a brief that would require passion, like the Fur For Trade, and one that I am willing to apply myself to so as to give a well thought out concept to the client and customer. the brief calls for an animated sequence and I would be interested in working with animation students for this project.

YCN Competition Briefs
Roald Dhal is an amazing storyteller, and I believe that most people on this course and across the college will agree and will have considered this brief as a contender for their final project. it is purely illustration based and tugs at the heartstrings of many young artists. They are requesting the images to be of one villain, main character and fantastical creature. These images should complement their logos which are sent in the Roald Dhal project pack. I haven't worked out where to find the judges for this competition brief but I can see from their logos that although they say to illustrate to any style they like, they want the images to complement their logos, so they cannot be just any style. The audience for this brief is a young one, they state from 5-11 and they seem to want something quite relevant with the fashions of today, so possibly something more graphic based. They want the images to appear as if they are part of a published series, and I am unsure if these will be for advertising purposes, if so, that also determines the style in which these images should be illustrated, again, I am leaning towards a more graphic design look for these images. They shouldn't be so complex so as they lose detail when sized down.
the following quote seems really relevant to the objective of this brief, they want something new and hip IMO:
Recently, we developed a new brand identity to provide a common bond between the many books, films, musicals, and even digital apps based on Roald Dahl’s stories and characters

PENGUIN
I am really interested in pursuing this brief as a set of three images. From my experience Penguins' covers are normally quite graphic and the type on the cover is centre stage to the design of these covers. The brief calls for covers for In Cold Blood, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 1/2.
these are all really well known and renowned books with a long history of publications, and therefore a variety covers have already been produced. this is a blessing and a bit of a curse to come up with something original at this point. it is a brief that is strongly illustration based and therefore would be very relevant to my studies as well as an excellent opportunity. Again, the brief illustrates to be creative and original, but there is definitely a market and image they are after.
