Illustration and Digital Skill: Brief

Our second brief is on Digital Skills Acquisition. We are also required to create an illustration narrating and portraying famous stories of London: fact, or fiction. My initial choice of story was Mary Poppins, as it has so many different aspects of London within, but I found it difficult being so broad. It is also quite overdone, and I felt I would find it difficult to create an original piece without looking similar to a movie poster or something already produced. I created a brain storm on the story, and chose one of the strings within: The Suffragettes. I feel the Suffragettes is quite an interesting one as the bravery of women is what helped me to have the freedom I do right now. As a female it is a story that has affected the way my life is, and allows me to live the way I would like to live, therefore being very personal. I want to make the outcome feel feminine and strong, though I'm not too sure which direction I would like to take with this yet.
