Applied Illustration: Initial research

Today we were introduced to OUIL505. 

We talked about the six different categories 

• Publishing & Book Design
• Editorial & Reportage
• Character & Narrative
• Product & Packaging
• Children's Book & Education 
• Object & Environment

and our initial responses to them. We sorted into groups and discussed what each category involved when we were asked the question what its relevance was to Society, Ethics, Technical, Cultural and it's main themes and sub-themes. 

For the session we had all  been asked to collect a range images for 3 of the categories and during the task we pooled all of our photos so we could see a bigger range of everything. 

I think it really helped actually, at the start I was looking at Object& Environment,  Publishing & Book Design and Character & Narrative. After the session it helped me cut down to decide between just two (publishing and Character & Narrative) and gave me ideas of what more to look into.
