My Manifesto

Who did I used to be?

I've always been very art orientated, so I was mainly in art classes all through school. I never got to experience any alternatives to fine art such as photography and graphic design until I hit A-level, so I ook all three. In retrospect, that was a bad idea because it was a lot of work, but it definately helped me decide that Graphic Design was the way forward for me. It took my Foundation year to solidify that fact. I didn't really have a 'style' of my own, I like pulling in all different kinds of techniques until I find something that suits the project that I'm working on the best. I don't want to rope myself into a particular catagory.

Who am I now?

I like to think that I am a much beter designer now, though I still have no defiitive 'style' and I don't particularly want one. I've learned so many new things so far this year and I hpe to continue my exploration of techniques on through the next two years. Since starting in September I have become very good at managing my time and realised just how easy Foundation and A-levels were in comparison to this. I would say that I have a far wider skills base now than when I started on the course.

Where to now?

  1. I definately want to develop my illustration skills, I can get much better at it
  2. I want to become the master of screen printing
  3. Get more paid work!
