My First Bleu-Prints Journal Entry

       My plan is to create a digital painting to display on this page. I've no idea of what I'll create but, I know it needs to have a lot of detail. My favorite genre is Sci-fi. Maybe, I might do something out the ordinary for me and create imagery that people usually don't think of as science fiction. I don't know. I have at least until the last couple of days of the month to finish this.

Deadline: March 28, 2008.

Not sure about the Brief. That will become apparent as I nail down what it is I want to create and how I want to present it.

I've come up with something after all.
The Brief:

1.     Must sell a product of some kind.

2.    Must have at least two characters shown.

3.    Create an image of a beautiful summer day.

4.    Aim advertising at the 16 to 22 year old demographic by using colors that appeal to                                  
       that age group.

Software used to create this
painting and preliminary sketches: Adobe Photoshop 7.

       Since this is a prints account I'll only post any preliminary sketches in .ZIP files. That way if anyone is interested you can look at my process.  I plan to organize my gallery so all the .ZIP files will be in a separate folder from the rest of the gallery.

        Maybe, I should look online for briefs for artists and illustrators to work from for my next painting. Hmmm, maybe I'll do that. My briefs will usually have a specific purpose in mind. I need to think like a marketing expert when doing these things. Commercial Art is first and foremost designed to sell a product, service, or, idea. So, I need to learn how to market myself better.
