DISPLAY BOARDS Statement Of Intent This module will make up the bulk of my graduate portfolio, so I aim to evidence a versatile skillset as well as methods I work comfortably in. I have found throughout my degree that I walk the line between Illustration and Graphic Design, so I will take on creative projects that allow me to evidence my knowledge of application and layout design. My immediate aims post graduation include merchandise design, so I will take on commissions that let me explore this and gain experience. I would also like to freelance within design studios, and after being given the opportunity to placement at UK Greetings I aim to dedicate a project to
expanding a greetings card range, responding to their advice and direction, which I hope will showcase my commercial ability. I also aim to enter competitions from YCN or D&AD as they push projects to be professionally finished and my YCN commendations from last year resulted in a job opportunity. On versatility, I want to explore multiple medias including traditional print and animation, both of which I enjoyed at level 5. Animation and GIF making is vital for creating online content so before I leave university I hope to have refreshed my skills in After Effects too.
The subject matter of my work tends to revolve around humour, friendship and relatability to 1530 year olds. I aim to develop this tone of voice within each project, insuring that outcomes are personality driven. I admire commercial illustrators such as Gemma Correll who produce simple visuals that are successful for their signature tone of voice. I have developed a plan where projects do not overlap so that each can have my full attention, which suits the way I tend to work in bursts.
