Presentation

For our presentation for what Illustration will be in 2022, we where split into groups of specialisms, a group of six. We where given 5 minutes to show our group work on what we had produced. We where being critiqued on the quality of what we produced, how well we worked in a group, if it related to our target audience (professional audience), How imaginative it is and the clarity of the presentation. As separate groups we where given these points on paper to swop and change with each other to crit the group that is currently showing. I found this method of critique very constructive. 

To create our presentation we got together as a group of five. Firstly, in particular are group focused on how illustration will evolve over the next 10 years. We pin pointing staple events that could occur each year that could dramatically effects the illustration industry. We where influenced by current events and products which we expanded on, are aim was not to make this too serious and think out side the box. 

Blue Sky thinking! 

Combined we thought up ideas that we could expand on:

We thought that the only thing that we could focus on for 2011 was the tragic passing of a great designer Steve Jobbs from the design industry. It will we feel will take a massive blow to the technology industry that will consequently affect the illustrators. 

As the olympics will be a massive part of 2012, we thought that we defiantly should involve this massive event. As there was a massive uproar when the new London Olympic logo came out we thought we'd predict a possible take over of the logo by rebel illustrators. 

For 2013 we thought there should be a break thought in the way people illustrate. We took the simple concept of 3D pens and made it real. Currently the only 3D pens are the ones above that only merely are metallic. The pens for 2013 that we are preposing give you the actual power to illustrate with layers this makes are freehand drawings come to life off the page. 

Introducing Adobe Illustrator CS6, for 2014! We feel its time for a new programme for all the illustrator across the world. This programme will be a drastic change to the industry offering illustrators new tools to use.. which brings a elements and knowledge to the design industry.

As an amazing turn of events England legalises Street Art in 2015. We thought this would be an amazing prospect and really boost the illustration! You could think of it as the free speech of drawing across a natural environment resulting in a more visually and interesting world.  

In the year of 2016 we see the end of paper as a common art form, now only used for goverment use and toilet paper! We had the idea that paper would become more of a novelty that wasn't used as much just appreciated as an art form. Drawing will become more of a street art or digital affair! 

Ben in my group had an amazing idea of proposing a new product that will come to the market in 2017. To help the design industry in the way we input and interact with our machinery to illustrate. He came up with a new apple product called the 'iSlab'. This idea was loosely based around the iPad but with more ways on inputing by simply putting what you wish to scan over the screen and it will scan and it comes in A3 size. Revolutionary technology...  

The big event that takes place in the year of 2018, is after all the street art and the invention of new illustrating products the interest in illustration has risen. So the first sell-out staduim illustration tour makes history in the design world! 

Now that technology has progressed in the year 2019 we see the invention of holographic books! This will give you the chance to read and be interactive with books by touch this means the use of paper will be completely out of use for the everyday person. It will make book illustration so much interactive and have a new level of detail to accomplish.

As a group we wanted to involve a stronger power in a development of the design industry. So we thought a political trend that could take place in 2020! We then thought how much our government does take an impact on our lives. As it's the future we decided to go a bit wild with the future concept and trend, so we decided on the first Alien president coming into power! Following on from this event the trend of Sci-fi illustration begins. 

2021... NOTHING HAPPENS! We decided to involve a year where nothing happens in the illustration industry. This wasn't due to us running out of idea's but for a light hearted comedy purpose. 

For the Final year of 2022, the progress of technology in the illustration industry moves to a completely new level! The progress of the new government and and trends it is now possible to draw in the space with the stars! We love this idea we feel that it could be possible but in a ay we feel that it has hidden meaning of imagination and illustration can be out of this world, think out side the box when telling a narrative. 

When we got all our ideas together we started to think on our presentation method. We didn't want to produce anything to generic for example a power point presentation. Our specialism is illustration so we wanted to show all of our individual talents in one go as well as predicting the future! We started researching how illustration has been previously done, we found quite a few videos we particularly liked that involved a close up of peoples hands drawing, sped up with an explanation over lapping. This method can show our specialist practice visually can be successful informative.

As a group we decided to give our selfs two years each to illustrate in our own style. Then when filming us drawing, we could all have an input into the outcome which would be a positive group effort. Whilst drawing we came up with the concept of all our drawings being filmed across a timeline on a long sheet of paper, one after another as a constant film, e.g. a Time Lapse.  

From the photographs above you can get a clearer insight into how we film and worked together as a group. I personally thought this was a very positive way of realising our design process, as we not only made a time lapse of our predictions in our specialism, but we created a hard copy of our drawing process on a long piece of paper. We have decided to show this timeline in the presentation after watching the film. We think seeing us making it on video, to seeing the actual psychical timeline, this would be  an boost of interest. 

I wanted to open our presentation with a short opening speech to introduce our film and will ease everyone into our humours, blue sky inspired  video for 2022. 

- Welcome to an insight into the next 10 years of illustration. We preposing staple events and products that very possibly could occur in the illustration industry. It is Blue Sky thinking, please have an open mind! 

After we had our presentation, the class had the chance to critique our work. I felt that our's went particularly well as our feed back was very positive! Main pointers that people made where:

-The way be presented in a time-lapse film. 

-Imaginative future projection, fantasy.

-Good timeline, showing progression.

-The voice over was fitting (My voice).

-Relevant to use Illustration.  

-Our tutor wanted the youtube address we posted it on to, which i have taken as a positive sign. 

After every thing we had accomplished over the last two weeks as a class we where asked to get into groups of three to evaluate what we had learnt. We where told to refer on our learning out-come in the brief  and then combined we shared our ideas. 

Here's are notes below:
