I got together with Edwin,a good friend from school to start a personal project to showcase our illustration skills. He is a very talented and is supposed to be graduating at the same time as me. I see it as a great opportunity to collaborate with some one from school, something that i have never done, and wish i had. I think that it is a great way to push yourself to do better work, specially when it is with some one that is very talented.
The project is a mini zine where we are going to have a combination of illustrations and layout and to create maybe a couple of portfolio pieces. We want to be very illustration heavy but we want to show at the same time that we are able to understand layout and design in general.
Right now we are trying to come up with a name for the MiniZine and start to get things going from there. It is going to be a little like push pin almanac, started by some of my favorite Illustrators, Milton Glasser and Seymore Chwast.
Our first theme is going to be something very open, Art. we are going to write about our views and opinions on the subject and create illustrations based on this. we are each going to write one article which will be a spread, and then we'll get together to discuss the theme and create a feature which should be 2 spreads.
It should be a very fun project and i hope that we can create something that is interesting.
