Areas of Practice:
- Video Games industry. Working online for a games magazine or publishing company, in product packaging design or in game; either user interfaces or game worlds.
- Web design for more reputable news outlets, designing a modern delivery of news in info graphics imagery and a clean layout for the article, interactive stories, maps and graphs.
- Social or political artwork. For example helping private eye enter the 21st century with better design in both print and web without loosing its magic.
3 Strengths:
- Layouts, I think that I understand the hierarchy of type and image well. As well as the rules of a grid.
- I am very computer literate; meaning I know how to use computers very well, can pick up most software very quickly and now I understand the principles to coding.
- I can do good presentations. Not always a strength, this last year and a bit I've really found its something I can do well. I have lost many of my old inhibitions in public speaking and put effort into delivering something a bit different.
3 Weaknesses:
- A lack of desire to document my work. This is a real drain on my work, mainly because it gives the impression im not producing anything. I do generally complete blog tasks and do document work for final crits but often its a week after it was set.
- After working on something for a long time I loose a level of enthusiasm for the work, I can get too self critical.
-
3 Goals For the Year:
- Make my own business cards.
- Make my own website.
- Print a book on a risograph.
- Use a 3D printer to make some amazing 3D graphics toys or a modified print press.
3 Wishes
- That the college had a riso printer.
- That the good screen printing facilities were up here, not down the road. (I mean that I didn't have to carry fresh prints back in the rain.)
- That I could control time and space.
- That college had a 3D printer.
