Hi all, the Contemporary Illustration module looks at where the illustration industry is moving and concerns that are being reflected in illustration at the moment. This year looked at the RSA competition (always reflecting the best in innovative design), Data Visualisation (which has become essential in explaining the abstract data generated by the pandemic) and Branding (interaction with studios and agility in adapting an illustration style to a client brief is a valuable skill for illustrators).
Below are some examples of our level 3 student’s work who excelled at intellectually and creatively connecting with the brief, allowing them to produce provocative, intelligent and beautiful work.
