Throughout this module I feel I have become increasingly more aware of the type of designer I wish to be. Previously when quizzed about what sort of graphic design I had a preference for, I was never able to provide an answer. Having spent the last twenty-or-so weeks investigating the industry, where to source inspiration and creativity from and also trying to identify who I am as a designer, I have discovered that my passion within graphic design is ultimately hand crafted, luxury pieces and perhaps most typically in an editorial setting.
The practical work I have produced for this module is the work I am most proud of this year so far. This has been the first module where I have been able to truly design using my own style and feel that it has also been the most enjoyable. It has allowed me to discover new things about the industry, my practice, and also me as a person.
I hope to be able to progress and develop my self branding further over the summer and establish my practice outside of university, as I have come to learn that it is this that generally acts as motivation for all other aspects of life.
Though there have been times I have struggled in this Module regarding analysing myself and who I am, I feel it has benefited me greatly to have had no choice other than to face what I would usually avoid. Although I still feel the amount of pressure I put on myself to achieve is wrong, I am slowly beginning to accept that you cannot be your absolute best one-hundred percent of the time.
The personal development I have experienced this year so far alone makes me optimistic about where PPP will take me over the next two years of the course.
