CONTENT
Presentation is about the TRANSITIONAL 2nd year –
how have you move forward and developed as a designer, personal and
professional throughout the year.
The summer – what do I want to get out of it; studio visits,
live briefs, culture, possible collaborations with friends who work in other
medias.
Not wanting to go straight into an internship this summer –
initially I want to look at various studios, have day visits and then decide
which area I feel comfortable and undaunted by and then potentially apply for
an internship for the end of the summer when I am back or then for the
Christmas.

Tumblr – create it!
Put together the portfolio
Freelance stuff
EVIDENCE
STUIDIOS THAT I AM INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR?
LAST YEAR
I was slightly struggling with the course and could not see
myself in the graphic design industry having missed a fair amount of the
course. Now this has completely turned around and I feel a lot more confident
in myself and I can identify a direction I want to go in; what style of design
that I do and don’t like
MY TYPE OF DESIGN - INFLUENCES
I am drawn to typographic based pieces of design (SHOW
EXAMPELS) that are bold in colour, simplistic and well laid out.
I do not like detailed illustrative design; I prefer clean,
crisp minimal design. I do like design that incorporates photography; monotone,
duotone, or photographs where the hue and saturation have been alternated.
NEXT YEAR
Develop my web design skills. Really enjoy working with
packaging – typography based
STRENGTHS
More confidence in my self as a designer
Larger range of skills in software; After-effects,
Dreamweaver, Quark Xpress
Developed my skills in the Adobe Creative suit over the year
Type and Layout – more professional in the way that I
present my work
Learnt more about the Graphic design industry, the various
areas that I can go into after I graduate and working on a more proffessinal
level. I can see the purpose and the whole world around a brief
Designing for a purpose rather than we were in first year
where we were designing for an idea.
Proffessiional specifications; print process, presentation
boards, submission formats
Working to a deadline
Being more time efficient – I now have a more strategic
method of working and have realized how I work – research – design – evaluation
all in a day in order to make continuous development
Using my resources and influences more effectively to help
develop my work – library.
More effective evaluation of my work – continuous noting
down of my ideas and thoughts about each of my designs.
TYPOGRAPHY
Really enjoyed the module, felt that it was one of the most
useful modules on the course so far
I now look at presenting my work in a completely different
manner
I now think about what the type says and sounds rather than
just attempting to arrange it in a readable way
