Speaking From Experiance: research 2

Once initial research into the tutors was conducted we also interviewed ( see figure 1) our fellow students. This allowed us to identify key features and characteristics about each tutor from the view point of a student in order to most effectively represent them in a way new students will find it easy to identify with. 

Ben:

'do you know what I mean'

doodles

'just play with it'

'use tape, collage'

experimentation is key 

'you can can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter' 

Amber:

Her dog pepper

Leeds print festival 

Take work to crits

no breakfast in the studio 

Simon Harrison:

checked shirts

Whitelocks (told us all the pubs on the first day)

Simon Johns:

Tattoos

COP is real 

black t-shirts 

Pete:

'isn't that nice' 

Ear piercing

John:

'shy bearns get nout'

These characteristic will help develop the illustrations and be incorporated within the books themselves.
