On reflection of my second year presentation, I remembered that I had changed to label myself as a 'Creative Thinker'.. Looking back I think this is slightly cringey and I think I may have just wanted to be different rather than just being a typical Graphic Designer. The reason for changing it to Creative Thinker was because I didn't want to limit what jobs may be presented to me, however, after professional talks such as Studio Build I have come to realise that graphic designers get all kinds of jobs and its up to yourself not to limit yourself.
Looking back on my 'what I need to work on's was Essay Writing.. I have never liked essay writing and admittedly didn't do too well in first and second year, however, for my final cop project, I ensured that I really thought about my chosen subject. In second year, I took the easy option of choosing a very typical graphic designer topic..'Is print dead?' In third year, I chose something that I was personally interested in and new that I would genuinely find enjoyable researching into. My chosen question was "Has branding within fashion become more important than the product itself?" As I am extremely interested in fashion and branding.
Under personal aims I had Placement and Competitions, both of these things I kept in mind in the final year and worked especially hard on. I contacted various studios and managed to land myself a part time job at Grammar studio!
As for the competitions its evident through the various briefs I have already blogged such as Creative Networks, The Lifting Tower and DBA Nootropics.
