At the start of level 6, we got approached with the opportunity to take part in a range of different live briefs. One of the live briefs that came in was from the University of Leeds, run by a lady called Kerry Baker - who is the Engineering Education Liaison officer for the Faculty of Engineering.
Kerry came to the college with an idea to make a colouring book designed to encourage primary school children into going into engineering as a field when they were older. In order to do this - she wanted some illustrators to help make the work, so me, Adam Allsuch Boardman, Olivia Newsome, Will Grout and Paul Brough took on the challenge!
Kerry had already discussed a lot of the brief with Fred prior to us receiving it, so everything was fairly well spread out and clear; each of us would take on a couple of pages each - with the opportunity for two double page spreads also needing to be done. Kerry provided us with a really nice visual 'guide' to what being an engineer entails - and a list of each area of engineering that she wanted to be represented in the book, which can be seen here:
After our initial meeting with her, Adam was elected as the lead corresponder and project manager - and we set up a facebook page to keep tabs with each other throughout the project. Out of the list of potential areas, I chose Medical Engineering and Oceanographic Engineering to illustrate - and started putting ideas together for what I wanted them to look like.
