Live Brief - Event Promo

Been ages since I did anything grungy.. I'm happy with it as a direction though, considering it's such a quick turnaround.

I think I prefer the purely grey scale ones, there's some subtle colour in the 3rd one down - But the more I do these past few months, it seems the less colour I'm using, or if I do it's absolutely minimal...  Hmm.

Tess Beighton - Identity

A quick brief written up for Tess Beighton's guitar tuition. She's a recent Leeds music graduate so funds are limited - which will be the driving force behind the design.
It hit me the other day that screen printing just looks amazing in any portfolio, and my portfolio lacks any wow factor because I never really bothered to learn how to do it properly - truth be told I don't particularly like the process, but I love the outcome. This said, and time permitting, I may hand produce this stationary for her over the Christmas period - as this will give me a reason to spend a few days solid screen printing, if getting things wrong and learning from them is what I need to do in order to progress - bring it on.

Design Team - Market Week

Design Strategies Presentation

Contextual references are a bit weak, need to build on that & find companies that represent where I want to be/produce work that I aspire towards.
In general the presentation went well, got a bit worked up about it when I needn't had - Feeback included pointers on how to improve my presentation style as this will be important in the future, i.e. pitiching work to clients.

Sign-up Workshops

Been thinking about this all day - because it's going to dictate a good chunk of what I do for the next few months, but also because yet again the idea of working with motion graphics has yet again been thrown into debate..

I was so sure up until now that I'd pick it up in the future, and for now I was done with it - but being faced with a decision between print, web and motion workshops I just couldn't stop myself signing up for motion graphics. Shortly after I finally grabbed the chance to speak to the new tutor Lorraine, who only reinforced the message that I was making the right choice. I'm so, so happy that we've now got a digital specialist, I was crying out for a tutor with both the creative knowledge and technical skills to encourage me through the digital module - and I just think it's a huge waste of a resource to throw this away now.

So this now changes some of the briefs I'll be responding to - definitely going to include a digital branding exercise and with Lorraine's input I think I'll finally be able to fit motion graphics into my practice. Awesome, happy Lauren.

AllGood

A design studio based in Roundhay, a prime candidate for a visit. They're just the right size, not too big not too small, and just browsing through their website they seem to have a good grasp on what it means to be a business in this industry. I'm not specifically interested in anything other than how they run their business - but I'm sure I can learn more than that from these guys.
