My new strategy map indicating my new steps.
Each deliverable is a step not only displaying my art skills, my knowledge of lighting, anatomy, lines, perspective, colour, etc, but also showing my design process with drawing, layout and graphic design.
The narrative will focus on me, a student, trying to prepare to become a “Designer”. My character will be the only fully illustrated piece in the comic, battling the evil villain Design Problem. Over the course of the deliverables, I will progress, me being the only character fully illustrated, and each portion of the comic everything becomes more finalized until the final deliverable, where it is all fully illustrated. I am not sure if I will do them like movie promotional posters or if they will be comic strips, but I will see what I realistically have time to do and what makes more sense.
The first deliverable is a leave behind card/booklet. It will show logo, have an illustration and show the first steps of my design process, the basic "skeleton" of the drawing.
The second portion will be a mail in. I will show more in-depth illustration, including more character progression and line art.
After I have mailed in as an interest in them to be able to combat this common foe, I will send in a 2nd mail in, when they are hiring or after I've applied for a job. It will be a follow-up mail-in, showing Catbat is now a strong superhero ready to use her art skills to fight Design Problem. Intro to myself more as a designer, where I am now, and how I can benefit my target company. Deliverables will be flatly coloured.
When I get the interview, I will bring my printed book Portfolio, my business card and a leave-behind. The illustrations are now full and complete, showing the progression the character has come to and solved the problem, defeated the villain, etc. If I don't get to the interview, I will skip the fourth deliverable, or if the interview goes either good or bad, and send in the fifth deliverable.
The fifth deliverable is a mailed-in, one panel thank you card showing my future possibilities and showing that I am happy no matter where the road of life takes me. On the back I will have a business card attached, contact information, website address, etc in case they want to contact me.
I have no current pictures of my deliverables, but I will update this post with them in the next day or so.
