Overview of the current areas of design that I specialise in
High resolution image demonstrating my visual language.
Overview of practice:
Over the three years I have been drawn to explore traditional print in the digital age. I have identified it as a real passion within art and design and I aim to continue this in the future. This is consistent between the majority of briefs throughout all modules.
My research into artists books through the COP module encouraged me to explore editorial and book design, challenging what a book is and finding alternative publishing methods.
This also allowed me to incorporate my passion for traditional methods of design with digital.
Boosted my social media presence.
Linked In
Linked with established professionals that inspire me such as Chris Ashworth.
Occupation as 'graphic designer' for Oslo Agency throughout placement - This boosts my reputation and attractiveness for potential clients and studios viewing my profile.
Enjoy instagram for finding new inspiration
Posting more work and gaining more of a following
Enjoy following professional designers and organisations such as ItsNiceThat as they highlight popular articles and allow me to gain inspiration.
