-Explore social media further. I would like to explore my online presence further in order to get my work out there for other designers to notice.
-Collaboration. I would like to push myself to work with others on small projects outside university.
-Processes. I shall explore with multiple processes in order to ensure my work is not just digital. I would also like to explore processes in which I have not previously tried.
-Books. Over the past year I feel as if I haven't read as many book as I would like, and thus next year I will read more books, surrounding both design and art.
-Finally I would like to come out of the year with a solid 2:1, and to have hopefully got a 1st within certain modules.
In reference to the first aim, I do believe that my social media presence has increased with myself gaining over 70 likes on specific design related instagram photos. I have also uploaded multiple projects to behance and developed a Linkedin. In order to push this further I would like to add work experience to my LinkedIn and thus this may be a focus over summer/level 6.
The second aim was collaboration. Throughout this year I have collaborated as part of responsive, but I have also worked alongside Tess, attempting to digitally brand her. As a result of this I believe that I have been involved with collaborations this year although further collabs may be made with the collectives over that of the summer months.
The third aim was exploring processes. This year I have gained a large knowledge upon digital processes learning about coding and how a website is constructed. I have also learnt further into CMYK and RGB. In non digital terms I have again explored with screenprint and monoprint in an attempt to perfect these methods. I have also explored with embossing/debossing and foiling, design processes in which I have previously not completed. As university is open for a couple of weeks after we finish I would like to have another go at foiling as I believe this to be an area in which I struggled with. In binding terms I have learnt multiple new methods and discovered sections. This also went onto teach me how to paginate a book as this is an area in which I struggled. Applying bookrum and bookcloth was also another non digital method in which I learnt this year, a factor in which future employees will hopefully be encouraged by.
Reading was mentioned within my aims as I personally felt that in first year I did not read very much. This year I have read as of current: Vignelli's cannon, Intern magazine, know your onions and how to be a graphic designer without losing your soul. I believe these books to have influenced my design massively with Vignelli's rules being specifically implemented within my design.
My final aim was to come out of the year with a 2:1. As my first module received 68, fingers crossed that my other modules will remain in the bracket.
