PPP: Presentation

I didnt think that my presentation went as well as i'd hoped. From nerves I missed out a lot of what I wanted to say. Public speaking is definitely a big weakness of mine, but it is something I will keep working on as it will be a very important skill in the future.

- I have always had no idea what I wanted to do.

- I studied Economics, ICT and Textiles at A-Level and did life drawing on the side.

- I then went on to do a foundation, which was where I was first introduced to graphic design.

- Through my foundation I was introduced to a lot new things and had the chance to try a lot of things.

- Indesign is something I have never used before this year.

- At first I really struggled with it, but from making a lot of books this year I was able to get the hang of it and see just how much of a useful program it is. In the future I hope to get much better and have a greater understanding of all of its features.

- Type was something that I never knew much about, being able to look into things such as the anatomy of type was very interesting.

- Over this year I have experimented with both hand rendered and digital type, and created three of my own typefaces which i was very pleased with.

- Design principles was a module that I found very useful and fascinating.

- I really enjoyed all the workshops, I got the chance to try some new and very useful things.

- Screen printinging was something I has never been given to opportunity to try before and although I thought it difficult at first I am very pleased with my work and it is something that I want to keep working with. In future I was to try working with more colours and more complex designs.

- Personal branding. Because type has been something that I have benefitted most from this year I have created these made up out of some of my favourite fonts and the fonts I collected in my type journal.
