Last week I had a great time producing artwork at a conference break out session on storytelling. Using artwork to tell a story.
Myself and three other artists were given the brief to work with management teams from a well know international engineering company. In the space of a few hours we had to create an engaging poster, which visually communicated the story of unity and passion in the work they did. artwork storytelling.
Listening to their ideas, as the artist I couldn’t help or offer my own input, but did perhaps steer the conversation a little to facilitate the flow of creativity and ensure that everyone in the group had input in the final artwork.
There’s something very cool and rewarding working on a tight timescale in a room with other artists. Maybe somewhat competitive, but in a really positive hands on way. No digital, no undo buttons or layers, just a large sheet of A0 board to fill with marker pens . Also great to work alongside an old mate, Scott Tyrell. A former stand up comic,accomplished poet and creative director based in Newcastle.
Big thanks to Garry at Finite Productions, and Margot & the guys at Brand + Story for putting on a great event.
