I was on Facebook when I spotted one of my friends advertising for an illustrator to help make her some embroidered pieces for her fashion show. Elina is a 3rd year fashion student at BCU and although I haven't collaborated with her before we've both mentioned how nice it might be to do so. So when I saw her advert I got in contact straight away.
Although it's working with a friend I still wanted to establish a clear brief for it so that I didn't go in the wrong direction and so I could do the research accordingly. Elina spoke about her concept is late 1970's women and what kind of illustrations she was interested in, we went through my portfolio (whilst speaking on facebook) and she expressed how she would prefer my work to be the line drawing as it would go onto the embroidery machine the best.
I also established a time frame, with friends there is always the potential for them to be unclear but luckily Elina was really good with communicating what she needed and by what time.
She sent me over some of her research pages but I've still decided I'll do some of my own.
