SEMESTER 2
OVERVIEW OF THE SEMESTER Integral elements: While overviewing my semesters work i have realised that i need to change my approach to research. Do not go out looking for the exact same thing, just look at current trends in design to see if any of them motivate me rather than try and find the answer. Doing this would give me a broader view to each brief and not be so desperate to get stuck in.
Success: I believe that my strengths are withing branding and editorial. I think these are where my successes are because i enjoy these type of briefs the most which makes me more determind to spend time on getting my best out of each brief.
Personality: I am interested in branding and editorial and i think that my clean cut, white space approach is modern and works well within my main interests. In the future i would like two work within these two types of design as i think that is where i will excel.
