HELLO - Overall = a more successful year than last year. - Learnt huge amount; me as designer and also how I work - Now - more idea of the design I like...still trying to brand myself as a designer!
WHAT I WANTED TO GET FROM THIS YEAR - Learn more about the Graphic Design Insustry - Develop style & better quality of work - Improve software skills - Time management - Learn more about what kind of designer I am - undecided if TYPE /IMAGE - incorporate more photography in my work
TRANSITION FROM LEVEL 4 TO LEVEL 5 - Daunted, felt slightly behind after missing so much of 1st year - Last year = left work to last minute - needed to be more proactive - What is good Brief; long time to make decisions & concept -150 logos - set the pace - took a while to get into momentum of work - Design began to have more meaning; designing for concept and purpose rather than idea. - Blogging; taken a back seat after the summer - Talk about work; 1st year = slap dash, unproffessional and no clarity. 2nd year = more consideration and knowledge - MAIN POINT; now developed systematic working method, I understand how I work to a brief
PRINT MODULE; learnt my interstest...only partially successful brief - Lorenzo’s sessions; background to Graphics and it contextualised my design - Enjoyed learning; stock, print processes - it’s huge impact on design - I packaged and promoted a new music device - I spend too long on concept and the idea behind device rather than design development. - Start to identify a style of working; bright bold and use of blue! - what I learnt from this brief; time management, the library, range - First became intersted in packaging and promotion - At the time I thought I had done enough work but now looking back... - Learnt; plan ahead, chose stock before designing
