THE TRANSITION FROM LEVEL 4 – 5

At the end of Level 4 I was did not know what type of design I liked or have a style

Over the summer and throughout this year I now know I am more interested in type based design that is colourful and bold.

I see the purpose of graphic design and the briefs. In my work I am now designing for a concept and a purpose rather than just a proposed idea.

WHAT DIRECTION MY WORK HAS GONE IN - PACKAGING

Typographic based – more sans-serif typefaces – like the contrasts of light and condensed within a piece of design. I like design that is more minimal.

I like the use of photography in design although I have not used any yet; I tend to veer away from illustration and decorative design.

Bold use of colour – more recently use of gradients and textures.

I have more of a pull towards print based briefs; packaging, branding

STRENGTHS

Print and Packaging

Strategic Working Method

Feel Good Brief and Product Range Distribution

Collaborations – this helped my time management and working method. I learnt that I also work better when collaborating – able to push and develop my concepts and design outcomes further (less hesitation because I have constant feedback)

WEAKNESSES

Motion Design – I found piecing together a sequence of moving images incredibly difficult. Having always thought in 2D and 3D, adding time into the equation was challenging.

TYPOGRAPHY

This is something that I really struggled with last year

This was one of the most useful modules – learn a skill that has helped me in every part of my design

I can now present work on a more professional level and have an understanding on the values and importance the smallest effect layout, typeface, point size and white space can impact on.
