2. Research questions
Josie - reconsidering her research question from looking at illustrators involved in charity work to covering illustrators and community projects.
Jo - Look at Visual aids used in Illustration aimed at young children learning to read and what makes an effective children's book illustrator
Amy - Wants to research educational pop ups but is not sure how broad this subject would be or where to start. Now has a list of books to consider looking at from the bibliography of Core Curriculum Books and thinks she might look at an older age group than the macmillan brief.
Jordan - has looked into developing a minizine app for his images which were going to be a series of posters, something similar to Jack knife posters and Josie suggested he contacted them for possible work experience.
He spoke to Tom (who was passing) about maybe using learning app code as his research and Tom said he could look into the influence of technology and what makes a good/bad use of illustration in apps.
Katie - Is creating crests which will tell the story of how each bird has gone extinct. Metaphors would be an avenue for her research but having just bought a book about designer makers it might be worth considering the role of the illustrator in this field.
We have a couple of useful contacts re apps
USTWO who developed Whale Tail and the mouth app - Neil McFarland and ex student Ralph Manning who is n app developer. There is a link to him on the course website.
