I have submitted a selection of my work from both my previous A-Level Product Design course and also my current Art and Design course as well as other projects I have been a part of. Some of these projects include; a brief to redesign my schools 6th form prospectus; a book arts project which required me to create a book, based on Elvis Presley. Other pieces of work, which I have submitted, have come from life drawing classes and project briefs from a short introduction to photography.
I enjoyed these projects and felt that I improved my drawing skills and confidence as an artist especially whilst taking part in life drawing classes. My knowledge of art, design and the areas that are available to me has widened, however I feel that graphic design is still my forte as I feel the most comfortable and happy with this area. I feel I have gained a lot so far and I can either relate or use my knowledge gained from my previous art and design subjects or projects, and aim it towards my future career in graphic design.
As I have only recently started my graphic design, and digital imaging project briefs, I don’t as of yet have any work to show for them because I am only in the research stages of the projects. My digital imaging brief requires me to redesign the Fray Bentos brand, to do this I am creating a new advertising campaign, which involves me creating adverts using Photoshop and possibly new packaging for the brand. My Graphic Design brief is to make a propaganda poster on a recent world event such as the swine flu epidemic or the global recession.
I am interested in studying graphic design at Manchester Metropolitan University as I like how the course is studio-based and offers pathway options, opening the wide variety of areas within graphic design. As well as the course suiting to the method in which I learn, the university is in the center of a thriving city of culture and history.
