AOI Prize for Illustration 2017

I'm going to enter the AOI's Prize for Illustration 2017 - Sounds of the City. I'm going to treat this as a quick brief, as a challenge. To spend no more than a few days on it maximum. And also because the deadline is looming closer and closer and I have other things to do too! I have a few ideas for posters, but must investigate if you can enter more than once.

The prizes are no doubt an incentive for this project- as well as the what looks like fair treatment of winners and the merchandising of their work. There is also going to be an exhibition with the 100 runners up, and I can't deny that the more chance of *winning* something in a competition makes it more tempting.

Audience/ themes things to consider:

  • family friendly- so as well as keeping it non-explicit (not sure I would anyway) it should probably also be simple to understand. This isn't a heavily conceptual piece, and I think something easy is also favourable in this circumstance. It's ok to play to judges a little.


INSPIRATION: listen to Blur's Park Life 10 times in a darkened room to understand what London is really about

EDIT: I found out that you can enter more than once! I'm going to start one idea today, and if I have more time after it do the second idea, which I think I would have to create on a larger format and right now I don't have the tools for it.
