REFLECTION AND RATIONALE In Cop 1 I have focused on the overarching theme of society - narrowing in on branding in particular. In the first essay I enjoyed looking into the use of branding in big name corporations and how a brand actually works. Moving onto the second essay analysing how brands advertise themselves and their products was enlightening as it now makes me look at advertising in a new way. The visual investigation was my favourite project as I was able to create my own brand and focus it on gender, a massive part of society - in particular create a brand and an advertising campaign to fill a gap in the market and potentially even help people if it was put into production. The first 2 essays definitely helped me with the creation of the brand, however I think I could’ve put more effort into the first essay in particular. For Cop 2 I want to stick to discovering more about branding but also expand my knowledge to look at more aspects of design too - and in particular their relation with music. Music is a big love of mine and a massive part of society especially the entertainment industry and young people today.

RELEVANT QUOTES "I've created hundreds of images of artists," he admits, "and I listen to music constantly - it has always been such a huge inspiration for the illustration work I've created over the years, both in terms of subject matter and the style or way in which I work." MILES DONOVAN "Record covers were my very first insight into this thing called graphic design," he explains, "and from a pretty early age I knew I wanted to design them.” ED TEMPLETON "As a designer I mourn the death of the 12-inch and the amazing possibilities designers once had. "Now everything is miniaturised or downloaded and I'm scared that music doesn't really exist any more - it's just numbers rather than grooves on vinyl.” JASPER GOODALL

RELEVANT QUOTES "In the era of iPods and downloads, the packaging of music seems less important. It's a shame, but I think the golden era of record sleeve design is over." ANTHONY BURRILL today design is “your opening statement,” as “most fans enter the world of an artist via some kind of image or video they almost scroll past on a phone or a tablet. So the visuals that go along with the music have to give some sense of story and idea. They need to grab.” ADAM FARREL
