Lesson 1: Paper cutouts

For our first lesson, we were given one (or in my case two) phobia and told to create a cut out illustration based upon this phobia, i was given the fear of eyes and the fear of prostitutes, for the fear of eyes there was lots of ways i could portray the concept, i ended up going with using the eyes as spotlights, bearing down on a figure, making the person feeling uncomfortable and exposed. I was happy with the design and the class crit seemed to agree, the design wasnt the most complicated, but i tried to make my cutout 3D, which is something that very few other people did. As for the fear of prostitutes, i only had 20 mins to complete this one, as opposed to the 1 1/2hours that i had for the eyes, so for this i went for a simple design as seem below and wanted to go for a comedic cut out, as the concept (to me at least) seems quite comical.
