I have been working on illustrations for the Roald Dahl brief for Responsive. I want to make sure the characters and are appropriate for Roald Dahl's stories. The books are based around bold characters and amazing creatures. The witches are quite horrible and disgusting but at the same time need to be appropriate for the age range of the target audience. I have been illustrating quite simplistic shape based characters recently and have been struggling to analyse how well they communicate emotion. Given the narrative of the stories the emotion and expressions of the characters will be all important.
Working on these competition briefs have been a bit nerve wrecking, there is an extra pressure knowing your work will be judged alongside other students work. I have tried to research the Roald Dahl Literary Estate and the judges of the competition to get an idea of what they would want from the brief as it is quite open. This is a good opportunity to get some experience and possibly some feedback in a more professional setting.
