Tv Dramas // Outline // Publications
An idea came pretty quick for this one, i decided to use outlines and solid colour shapes to create illustrations of famous characters from the best TV dramas. After researching and also including my own personal likes, I will create a set of around 10 illustrations and the zine will be entitled...
'Top 10 TV Dramas to watch before you die'.
This will conclude my set for the brief, but i may create some more if i have time. I have had fun with this brief, tried to keep it a bit more lighthearted that other studio briefs and gone with whatever i want to do. I will hopefully be carrying this on as a side project. A self initiated brief, and will be creating a new zine each month with another one of my likes or hobbies or anything else i find interesting. I will also hopefully try to sell them for cheap and see how well they go down with my target audience.
Research into the different dramas i have chosen and also imagery....
