My development within the second year has allowed me to further underline my interests in typography, editorial design, exhibition branding and work in the creative sector. This part of graphic design and design in general in my opinion allows more space for expression in its playfulness as wells manifesting in a verity of formats.
Moving forward I would like to undertake as many of these kinds of projects as possible to further push my knowledge and skills. The collaboration project of responsive has shown me that to create the best results, more skill sets create different and new ideas that really push the designs further.
The next steps for my practice are to try and build up some clients to work for and try and plan internships, as well as keep trying to push my work and develop my understand of design. Within responsive I also undertook at DA&D brief, this gave the opportunity to explore a more advertising based project, though the work produced was effective I didn't enjoy it as much, highlighting were my practice lies.
The book Studio Culture by Unit Editions gave me an insight into some design studios and how they function, from this I really feel a smaller more intermate studio would suit me, this tighter development of projects and more personal setup would suit the way I work.
Throughout the year I have been active in contacting professionals and growing in confidence as a designer. Going to the Unit Editions meets MagCulture talk allowed me to interview Jeremy Leslie, this was a real eye opener in terms of magazines and editorial design, research into the subject and more importantly an interest in magazines meant the questions prompted some really interesting answers. Though I was very nervous I enjoyed the entire process from doing the interview and designing the publication.
