I have been majorly influenced by users of print club london, this is one of my favourite aspiring studios to look at. Because of this I learnt and followed several illustrators and designers. As previously researched I have chosen to ask my questions to Andy MacGregor I specified my questions personally and tailored them to him to do this I created a mind map in which I highlighted questions which I would love to know... I narrowed my questions down so that I was more likely to get a response as if i personally were to receive lots a questions I wouldn't want to answer them.
I also realised I needed to catch Andys attention and to do this I decided to send an engaging email with an illustration inspired by Andy's designs.. here are some of my experiments:
My favourite were the pastel explorations but I felt this is too feminine and could of easily deterred Andy from reading my email so I went for the gender neautral design with a flowing of colours I tried to replicate watercolour into my design as Andy has used watercolour in his most recent designs 'pineapples'..
To catch Andy's attention I added a small joke into the subject, I then proceeded with a hello and an introduction followed by my questions and my name in a similar design as my header. All that is left to do now is to wait and hope!
In the mean time I will try to contact other designers to gain skills in connection and confidence.
