Who are you now?
I feel a lot more independant moving to Leeds, the course has been challenging and demanding but also enjoyable. I've loved every minute and its helped me grow as a designer, developing skills in Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator has benefited my work tremendously. At first it was all a bit overwhelming trying to absorb so much information at once, but after the lectures and seminars I've learnt so much more than i've done in any other education.
Experiences?
Visits to galleries, exhibitions and galleries have really brought me and broadened my mind. Coming from a small town there is not much choice design wise, Leeds is full of energy and theres always something going on. As a growing designer it has opened my mind at how much design is in the world, it surrounds us without us realising and that is what uni has mainly taught me. Tone of voice wise, I think because i'm an energetic person needs vibrancy and bold colours.
Creative concerns?
Over the year I have gained the confidence to become more critical at analysing other pieces of work, before I thought everything was just nice. Now I find myself analysing work and looking to see if its successful and appropriate and just a well made piece of design. The course has also made me more aware of online creative blogs, this is now something I check weekly which I never used to do. I think it is essential to keep up with the news on design and see what other designers are putting out there.
What 'Brands' me?
I chose in my business cards to use a san serif bold font called Governor, this I think reflects myself as a person. I love bold yet minimal design as I think it looks more visually exciting. I chose a vibrant colour for the background to represent my personality, I see myself as a positive person and have a optimistic look on almost everything. I believe we create our own happiness and thats what I strive to do, the course has matured and developed my character and I'm excited for whats to come in the future.
