An edited transcript of a conversation between Darren Raven and Darryl Clifton exploring the motivations, inspiration and rationale for Raven's 'Daily Zine' project

• Darren Raven, Darryl Clifton

This study explores illustration pedagogy through illustration practice, providing the unique opportunity to consider the entanglement of three academic identities: teacher, illustrator and researcher. The aims of this research were to surface findings that can begin to restructure a sense of self within Higher Education, to better understand student experience of illustration pedagogy and to uncover a more nuanced focus for future research.
