I study graphic design but work in finance. I love typography but focus on print work. I’ve done work experience in a pharmacy but stick to freelancing at home. I’m a photographer, blogger, traveller and videographer for fun. You may say I’m unfocused, I’d say I’m experienced. I do what I love and explore my interests. Above all graphic design remains the common denominator, and that’s why I’ve studied it.

Passionate and never short of ideas and solutions, that’s me. I know what’s being asked of me in the modern landscape that is quickly changing. People want their information beautifully presented and in a manageable format. I have been honing my skills; learning how best to answer these demands. My style is clean, current and eye-catching. My attitude is positive and optimistic and my story is just getting started.

As a designer I am interested in creating works that explore the notions of morality and gender in the consumption-obsessed context of the 21st century. I prefer to let the concept of my work spontaneously unveil in the creative process and quite enjoy experimenting with colourways to see how they can affect meaning. I find inspiration in eclectic artists from various disciplines and especially like to draw upon Wes Anderson and Vivienne Westwood.

Successful graphic design motivates, persuades and steers people to take certain actions in their everyday lives. With this powerful ability comes an important responsibility within the world; the graphic designer is a catalyst for global change. My ultimate goal in the future is to use my creativity to advocate ethical and sustainable companies and use my creative skills to represent organisations making positive change in the world.

Fresh to me means contemporary and modern. Design has no limit, therefore exploring different areas has become my way to realising what I want to pursue. Fashion communication has become my forte, understanding how fashion can be communicated and promoted creatively through different media. I have a keen interest for all things fashion and marketing and am aware of the latest developments, currently broadening my skills in branding, trend forecasting and styling.

Design for me has always been a way of expressing myself, creating is something I enjoy doing; I’ve always wanted to integrate business and design plus I see myself as somewhat of a businesswoman *dusts shoulders*. Therefore, going out into the working world, I am looking for a career in advertising/marketing and eventually a creative director position. I aim to retain my creativity whilst also making executive decisions.

When designing I try to look at a piece of work from a different perspective and challenge myself to experiment with a range of unique ideas. I do this by using unconventional materials and techniques to produce bespoke work. These methods create work that ranges from computer designs to physical design objects. I think design should be aesthetically pleasing, which is what I aim to create.

I’m always intrigued by how broad the subject is. There is so much I have learned but also so much to learn. I am very much into photography and like to incorporate it in my work when possible. I am interested in black & white photography, minimalism, typography, and Scandinavian design.

COLLINS

I have a natural ability to produce concept with meaning. I pride myself on making my designs more of an experience rather than just beautiful to look at, and instead give them background, a story – something vital to audience interaction and engagement in contemporary design. This is the type of work that build brands, strengthens campaigns and overall what makes my designs a step above the rest.

I would describe myself as a ‘bubbly,’ smiley and generous person. This reflects in my design work. It is fresh and contemporary, which is important in the graphic design industry because keeping up with trends is a crucial to me. Along with graphic design, photography is something I’m passionate about. Having a career that involves my hobbies is what motivates me and this is what makes me unique and fresh.

Hey there, I’m Jordan and the first thing you notice about me is my hair. And let me tell you it has been a difficult journey, but four years ago, I fully embraced it and with some good ol’ TLC, I got it to this lusciousness. Connection between my hair and design? People will want to stop, stare and may even want to have a touch.

I have a unique style that is bold, vibrant and visually eye catching through my choice of contrasting colours, font selection and strong imagery.

I always keep myself fresh by trying something I’ve never experienced before and I try to apply it to my design. Doing something different makes me realise that sometimes, even mistakes turn out to be awesome. The world needs someone fresh so make sure you’re one of them!

GENEVER

I aim for socially responsible design – I believe that a combination of aesthetics and ethics are what makes design great. Campaigning is where my talents shine; whether it is through advertising or event planning. I recently started hand lettering and calligraphy on the side of my graphics work, and there is probably a 90% chance that I’ll be watching Criminal Minds too.

I’m a creative designer that is always designing things, drawing or taking photographs wherever I am, I think outside the box maybe too much, but when focused I produce amazing work that gives goosebumps of excitement. Working with me is also fun - having a laugh while we all get lost in imagination, coming up with ideas that really blow your mind and making it happen.

For years now graphic design has been an obvious choice for me: I have been drawing and painting as long as I can remember, I had my first website when I was 9 and a few years later I started playing around with Photoshop. When I was younger I wanted to create things that looked cool, but now after years of learning I enjoy the challenge of creating designs that work and look good.

I love graphic design. I would say that my main skill is the ability to move forward with the times. Over the years graphic design has changed into what it is today, through the introduction of software. It is forever adjusting and evolving. I love to learn different things whether design related or information into specific areas that could be useful to me as a graphic designer in the future.

Film and television influence my life, allowing a wider perspective. As times change everything adapts - this is how I approach my work, aiming to keep it fresh and focused but also seeing what’s been done before. For instance, when a plot is used in a film and you can see what’s coming from a mile away, I want to ensure that my work is never received this way.

My favourite thing about graphic design is that it doesn’t define exactly what direction I can go into. I am passionate about book cover design and illustration. My goal is to work in a studio where I can not only design book covers but also illustrate them. I enjoy hand-rendering illustrations, but I’m always learning new techniques and keen to experiment with design in different formats.

Being “fresh” to me with design in mind, is making work that is current and relevant while still keeping it true to what it was intended to be designed for. To me as a designer, I don’t feel “fresh” until I have had my bowl of Cheerios and my flat white in the morning, then I am ready to start the day and hit the grindstone.

I consider "fresh" to be new, interesting and exciting. As you can see from my portfolio I like to work particularly in a hand-drawn illustrative style with typography added here and there.

My greatest skill for graphic design is typography, I find working with fonts rewarding as I can manipulate the message it’s conveying to meet the requirements set by the briefs.

I’m always looking to express my design thinking across multiple formats.

I am using print design as a method to express the unique cultures in Indonesia. By using this method of expression, I’m trying to show the world that near extinct cultures are the base of our modern art and society that we live in today.

Don’t hire me. I can’t make a good cup of tea and I listen to a lot of awful 90’s music. Apart from that I’m pretty easy to work with.

Alongside the computer, I like to work with my hands. Producing physical work that I can incorporate within my designs. Interning in New Zealand taught me to push myself out of my comfort zone with my designs. By stepping away from technology it also allows me to experiment with new techniques and skills, pushing my designs in ways that I previously wouldn’t have. Experimentation opens up new possibilities and designs.

Being "fresh" in the design world for me is about constantly learning, creating and changing with the times. Whether it’s a website or branding, things change around us, and it’s important to adapt. As a person however, I don’t feel ‘fresh’ until I have consumed coffee in the form of a beautiful Caramel Latte or the ever trusty Americano. Turning Coffee into Code is a signature talent of mine.

A design doting, fitness favouring all round kick-ass young creative. I like to hit balls with a stick and eat Mexican food. I have refined a devotion to advertising and branding design, creating both digital and print based graphics. As a result, I have achieved a shiny new qualification as a Bachelor of Arts Graphic Design (Hons) Graduate.

I enjoy print design such as creating advertising campaigns, branding, and also some website and app design. Within advertising I like to produce designs that connect the people to the products advertised. What makes me "fresh" is that I do this by creating concepts that engage with the audience. Outside of graphic design I enjoy doing exercise, travelling and having a gin and tonic in the sunshine.

Being at the height of 6ft 3 means i have more room for creativity than most designers of an average height. I am able to apply this extra creativity to my speciality area of editorial design. I like to ensure my page layouts are interesting designs that engage the reader with depth and excitement. Being such a diverse designer allows me to adapt my skills to the needs of a brief, that can be either for screen or print.

I’m a graphic design enthusiast; I love clean, minimal design. Almost anything inspires me; I enjoy opening my mind to new and exciting things and my passion for design keeps me motivated. I am meticulous when it comes to my work. Until I feel a design is perfect, I won’t be satisfied. I am fueled by tea and the desire to create fresh, interesting works.

I try my best to make things look cool. If you like it too then that’s awesome. I am never completely satisfied with the work that I produce, for some that could be a bad thing, but for me it’s a good thing. It drives me to keep pushing my boundaries and developing my skills. I’m hungry to produce good work…I hope you enjoy it!

Photography has always been my main passion. As a photographer, I have been integrating the communication and design skills learned throughout the Graphic Design course into my personal work. This has given me the opportunity to enhance the way I express my photography; with the purpose of reaching out to others and encouraging people to appreciate a different perspective.

I enjoy taking inspiration from all walks of life and putting them into my design in some way. My interests, passions and hobbies are very diverse, which means my thought process and design outcomes can take various different shapes. What motivates me though is the message and the meaning, more specifically how I can convey this message from a new angle or perspective.

I am the kind of person that will always be on the lookout for current trends, whether in creative or daily life. Pretty much anything that looks unique, edgy, cute, looks good, sounds good gets my attention. Therefore, I hope to gain experience in diverse design industries; be it fashion, poster, label, merchandising or others. That way, I can broaden my knowledge of different design methods, techniques and ideas.

I initially got into graphic design because my family have a history in print and a love for art and design. Growing up around designers I learnt to appreciate a wide variety of artists and design styles. All these influences have shaped the way I now design my own work. I also have a love for minimalism both as a way of life and a design style.

Hi, my name is Xu Shuyu. I’ve done various logo, web and poster designs in my academic years. Inspired by illustration and typography, I am starting to love print design. However, I also like creating science fiction and modern style designs because they feel “fresh” and unique! I also like to travel, take urban photos, play musical instruments and do some freehand painting in my spare time.

As a discipline that lives within the everyday culture, design has a huge influence on people. My purpose as a designer is to encourage positive change within society by getting the right message across. Whether it is a poster or a huge advertising campaign, for me it is important to produce work that aims for more than just advertising the products, but also promotes conversation and changes behaviour for the better.
