STUDIO PRACTICE Statement of Intent Name Blog Address http://o-‐conlon1316sp.blogspot.co.uk/ Orlaith Conlon Date 19/10/15 Rationale I felt like I have refined my working practice and do work faster and more efficiently then I did last year. Tone of voice has been something I am always striving to hone and I do feel as though the two areas of my practice (shape vs line) are closer to meeting. The briefs I have worked on have been very self-‐directed and I feel like in this last year of education I really wanted to give that time over to develop my drawing skills as this is what is most important to me as a practitioner. The fun and charm of my drawings has therefore been able to flourish without the restriction of client briefs however I am aware that this means I lack on these skills at this moment in time but it feels like a worthy sacrifice when I have so much more confidence in the abilities which make me unique as a creative person.
