= reflect on who I am as a learner and designer
= how have past experiences informed my current aims and ambitions
Identify
1. creative concerns
2. personal aims
3. professional ambitions (over summer and year 6)
Presentation
= reflect personal style
= appropriate format (slideshow, pecha kucha (20 second slides), video/moving image, storytelling etc.)
= draw together examples of contemporary design practice and relate them to development of my work
= what work did I do that affected what I chose in future briefs?
1. outcomes/briefs that were important to me during the year
2. outcomes/briefs I didn't do as well that meant I avoided it or worked more on it
-------------------------------
PRESENTATION
= Liked the idea that this project was going to create positive change
= Although the subject was interesting, about bringing together art and science students, it didn't make much difference and instead felt more about making a hypothetical solution with nice posters and gifs
= Didn't feel a passion for change in this brief but working with a class mate on a brief where I liked the outcomes showed me the different directions and outcomes that I could take/make
= eg. aesthetics wouldn't normally go for, processes didn't know how to do
= IMPORTANT CHANGING POINT WITH REDUCTRESS
- Dramatic shift from when I did Reductress publication
= love print, love working on the subject of feminism
- I can do projects on the same subject in different ways!
- If it's something I love then why not choose to do another project on it, as long as it challenges me in the outcome side and processes learnt eg. more digital side than physical
- Doing projects on some other topic which doesn't keep my interest as much as the subjects that have before eg. feminism, sexuality, will mean I don't do as well in them as I won't want to work on them
- But perhaps I should spend more time on working out what other subjects I could grow a passion for? Doing these projects could mean I learn something new about how I work or what I enjoy
= Doesn't need to be just about feminism
= What other subjects around feminism count towards the general subject of helping women, presenting to the world the issues we face
= I can use design to suggest things to the world, or even just the small space of people in my studio
=> Publication Brief
= Do soemthing around women
= Something around sex
= Something around taboos
= First project in two years which I was very proud of creating
= Didn't necessarily accomplish its task as it was in the bubble of the studio
= Created interesting discussions within the studio and between people I knew outside of uni
= This process was important in showing me how to approach subjects I am passionate about, about presentation of physical work etc.
= Took those further steps in presentation with the bag, the website QR code etc.
= Physical side of the brief in learning how to present things through the practical was another turning point
= Loved making the print of Reductress
= This was a more in depth, developed and weighty publication outcome that solidified my love for print
= Working with just imagery = interested into changing the way images are percieved by people = how can it be manipulated to present it in a different way?
= Found an interest in collaging
= Being forced to turn the physical brief into the digital was important in making me learn how to apply concepts to a sphere of design I'm not as comfortable with
= Learning how to create AR interactions
= Once I'd created work I was proud of I felt it was a good time to set up professional accounts
1. insta
2. email
3. online portfolio (uncompleted)
= Followed graphic desing on an design insta = needed to see inspo every day = followed new accounts on normal insta
= There was a shift in my understanding of design and it became easier to apply ideas and concepts to different physical briefs later on
= Gave myself a huge task to do within the time sphere
= Really wanted to fulfil it to the level of my vision but this was difficult with other briefs
= Challenging time but was really exciting
= Thoroughly enjoyed organising the content, working with other creatives, working at shoots and creatively directing every element
= Could my future be an editor for a magazine for women?
= Running for NEST editorial officer with Leon
= With recognising that my practise is based largely around wanting to create discussions about issues, directing my creative report around this by interviewing TEMPLO
= Their work is mostly digital, but the subject matter is at this far end of ethical design which I wanted to learn about
= How can I take my passion for change to the positive extreme?
= Want to work on finalising my online presence with social media and pdf website
= Internships over summer
= Want to try new things and challenge myself
= What other subjects can I do that will expand my practice? What digital processes can I learn and use in order to create different things to what I do now?
= Might see some changes within my work and aesthetic over the year
= But also it might change around creating positive change with issues
= Will my practice become more about ethics or was that just an important step to take in understanding the importance of ethics at the centre if being a graphic designer?
