- First year: How overwhelmed I was with the work load, intensity of course, living independently.
- Learnt new skills such as screen-printing, book binding, InDesign, embossing.
- Always used a form of illustration in my work
- Second year: Very lost and confused as to what I wanted to do
- Lost sense of direction when it came to briefs, struggled to keep on top of work load and produce outcomes I felt confident with
- Explored too many different fields within graphic design, I enjoyed this but it left my more confused as to what I was good at and what I wanted to do

- More stability with health, meaning more stability and foundation for work
- Always been pulled towards the illustration side of briefs
- Found what I am good at to utilise in briefs.
- Better understanding of graphic design and illustration
- Enjoyed the opportunities to collaborate with other students in the college and answer briefs I would not usually go for.
- Helped me get bette at communicating with other creatives to share ideas
- Experience gained with difficult collaborations
- Self promotion improved from last year
- Finally designed a logo and business card I was happy with
- Feel more comfortable using programmes such as Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
- Myself as a designer, always been pulled towards illustration and branding.
- Have a love for creative, clever and bold design that tells a story
- Heavily concept driven which sometimes affects the outcome of my work.
Intentions before I leave
- build a portfolio with a body of work that represents myself as a designer and offers a variety of skills.
- Visit more studios, get portfolio feedback from other studios and hopefully some work experience
- Get more experience from live clients
- Utilise the uni's resources, screen printing!! I am going to miss having the university's facilities so accessible and free to use, therefore the briefs I have left to do will hopefully make use of the facilities.
- Have fun whilst I can! Not long left and so far third year has been my favourite year yet therefore I want to keep on top of my work and enjoy it as much as I can whilst I can.

- Looking into studios in Leeds as I would like to continue living here once graduated
- Visiting Berlin over the holidays so it would be useful to visit some studios
