For studio brief 3 we were required to come together into groups to form collectives. It was encouraged to be cross course so tried to get some illustrators onboard but they wanted to remain with other illustrators. I found myself teaming up with Luca Bisaci, Natalia Llamas and Rey Curley as we all had a mutual interest in characters and character design.
Discussing this we started to put together our presentation and what our aims are as a collective. We chose to call our selves Dagger Collective, with the tagline 'Sharp minds and Killer ideas' with other murderous puns ensuing within our presentation. Our logo was designed by Luca and i found myself really enjoying doing the regular meet ups to go through what we'd discussed and what we need to work on, so while we may not produce any products it definitely gave me a good feeling of what working within a studio or a collective could be like as i was talking with like minded people.
The work felt very evenly distributed with us all contributing and discussing how we could utilise our skills in the most interesting way. We proposed the idea of having life size cut outs of our characters that people could interact with and get a real feel for.
When we went up to do our presentation I felt it went really well and unlike other group presentations there was a lot more of a calm back and forth rather than a hogging of the spotlight with other people encouraging others to speak up and explain a section of our presentation.
As of right now the Dagger Collective has been left fairly untouched but i think it would be a really good place for us to put our character design sheets and entries into the character design challenge. Because we have not had enough time to make anything for Studio 24 we decided to present our character designs and work on the Collectives Facebook page and push the online presence.
