It is now up to you to begin developing a folio which you think will best represent the kind of work you would like to do in your coming career.
You can create a folio which is very strongly similar in terms of style and theme or you can create a series of works which display a variety of skills and styles.
You will need to create one more piece to complete your folio for semester 1. This will give me an idea of how your semester 2 folio will look.
In Semester 2 you will create at least 5 pieces but as many as you like if you want to create more.
Just bear in mind that you have the time to make sure your work is just right, so don't rush to fill a folio with lots of OK stuff. Take the time to fill it with the very best work that you can do.
As usual you will show me sketches for all your work before you proceed to final artwork.
Your first step is to write a brief describing how you want to proceed from here and post it to your blog. Then we will discuss it and tweak it if necessary.
So remember:
Semester 1: The first piece of your folio.
Semester 2: A minimum of 5 pieces.
Areas in which you may want to work:
Magazine editorial
Children's books
Adult books
T-shirt design
Storyboarding
Advertising
Package Design
Character design
Comic books
Comics
Websites
Good luck!

Assignment 3
Redesign the cover of the novel 1984.
Also create a book-mark which compliments your image.
This is one of the great books of the 20th century.
Its cover has been redesigned many times since its release in 1949.
Look at the examples posted below.
Research the themes of the book.
See if you can find a new way of simplifying the story into one strong illustration.
Your illustration can only use 3 colours, black, white and another colour.
It can be as simple or as complicated as you want.
The dimensions of the cover are 200 x 130mm.
The dimensions of the spine are 200 x 25mm.
Your illustration should cover the front, spine and back cover.
The typography should be a part of your illustration.
Type should include:
Front: 1984 George Orwell.
Spine : 1984 George Orwell.
Back: 1984 by George Orwell – 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell’s prophetic nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were is becoming more timely than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of the negative Utopia (Dystopia)—a startlingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel’s power, its hold on the imaginations of whole generations nor the power of its admonitions—a power that grows with the passage of time. Essential reading for understanding the postmodernist world.
