Level 5 HE Assignment Brief - Illustration Concepts for Commercial Audiences - Non-Narrative Illustraion

For this brief I have to choose a musical artist from a list given by our tutors, and through a self initiated 'concept' I have to represent the music and the artist.
I have to research the artist, album and market and build my own conceptual ideas around my analysis and solutions.
      (research my chosen artist thoroughly, build my own conceptual ideas around them and discuss how my outcomes and processes relate to my chosen artist)

I must document and evaluate personal progression and evidence of theoretical enquiry, technical skills development and commercial viability.
      (basically, document and explain my progression of how my processes change and improve for this specific brief, also explaining and documenting my research into the specific subject.. and explain how it commercially viable in a modern market?... I think..)

This must all be supported by a final conclusion and description of my overriding concept in my journal.
    (so a written final conclusion is needed to explain my overall concept and the journey that brought me to it.. on my blog)

The artist and album I have chosen for this brief is: Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues.
(I chose this because I am a huge fan of Johnson, his music and his mysterious life has fascinated me for years. I will not struggle to keep inspired, I will stay passionate and enjoy this brief!)

I have been asked to produce ONE of each of the following:

PACKAGING.
CD
or
12"Vinyl.
(likely to go for vinyl because it is more suited to Johnson's era)

EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION
Fashion Editorial
or
Interview Editorial
(more likely to pursue the fashion challenge as Robert Johnson is pretty dead, so an interview editorial will be difficult as there where no recorded interviews with him.)

A PRODUCT
Apparel
Home wear
Ceramics
Greetings card
Stationary
Toy
(not sure where to go with this, will put much thought into it..apparel is sticking out to me at the moment because vintage style dress is somewhat in fashion and i can imagine a modern take on 1920-30's delta dress style... but yeah not sure..i'll put more thought into it)

ADVERTISING
A poster
This must be in digital and printed formats.
(looking forward to this, I would like to screen print my poster.. as it is something I have had no practise or experience with as of yet, though I know of its uses and importance in the industry and believe that screen printing is going to be 'right down my alley'.)
