O v e r v i e w Integral elements: Are there integral elements that often form key elements within your work and in other words how do you best generate and create your own designs/imagery? At the start of each project, I find it useful to scribble down all my initial ideas and thoughts on how I think the brief should be approached. I then move on to research to for some inspiration and different styling options and finally on to design. I find it useful to sketch out some layouts/ideas and then transfer those ideas on to the screen so I can play about with imagery and text. I think it is much easier when you get on to the screen because you can manipulate the images and text.
Success: What are your strengths? Where have you been most successful? What do you think was the reason for that positive experience? I think my strengths lie in the production, once I have my ideas and concept sorted. Once I know what is going on a page I like to play around with layouts and how I can use different images and text to manipulate the page.
Personality: What are you interested in, what are you about? Do you feel you have been able to introduce your personality and interests in your work. In what creative direction do you want to proceed in the future? Through playing around with all areas of design my true interests still lie in editorial. I feel this is were my strengths show. I feel that throughout my work, my personality is shown, even if its just a splash of bright colour on a page. Although I feel this is the area in which I am strongest I do not want to specialise myself to one area of design as I enjoy all different elements of the design process.

This was part of a live brief for the company Gen II. I had to create a logo and other stationary material for the company showing how the logo would work. This logo was aimed towards the general public.
This brief was to interview someone and make a magazine spread. I chose to do the interview and take the photos myself and create a booklet to help raise awareness for FFP’s upcoming short film. The target audience would be the general public, as it is there to help raise awareness.
This brief was part of a submission for the YCN student awards. I had to create a campaign to encourage 18-25 year old males to order Bacardi in a bar environment. The target audience is 18-25 year old males.
This brief was selected from the Roses Student Award briefs. The Dandy was going digital, I had to create awareness. The target audience is adults that used to read The Dandy as children.

The brief was also selected from the Roses Student Awards. This brief was to re-brand Harry Ramsden’s fish and chip shop. Again the target audience was the general public as Harry Ramsden’s is already a well known name.
For this brief I collaborated with a photographer. I had to create a book which included her work. There was no specific target audience for this project as it such a wide subject.
The brief took place after I completed my work placement. I chose to create a report which showed the background of the company and my experience there. This booklet was aimed at those looking in to the company and those looking to do work placements.
This brief was to help promote film maker, ‘Dan Rymer’ ‘s new script. I had to create a script pack to show the different elements of the script. This was aimed at potential investors and lovers of film.
