Statement of Intent Feedback

I think it is good that you have a thematic/conceptual focus on design ethics and social change

I think it is also good that you are expanding your definition/understanding of graphic design to include other practices (sculpting, fashion, etc.) and I think you are right. 

However, when approaching these processes and skills you should do so as a graphic designer. You should not expect that you can become a bona-fide fashion designer, sculptor, etc. with the click of a finger. Instead you should incorporate these processes into your design practice as a means to question what design is or can be. 


Also, you should use level 6 to build on skills you already have. We don’t advise that you spend this time learning new processes from scratch so do be careful what alternative outputs you choose to incorporate within your work.


Statement of Intent Revision 


I want to go into the creative industries with an understanding and scope for social, cultural and political issues. How can I educate myself and develop my skills so that when I begin to produce work for the public it can have a positive impact on people? Design and creativity should be fun and playful, and if not, should help create change and a better future. If all creatives instilled this ethos into their work the world would be a nicer place for everyone. My practice has always been led with a fine art foundation, and so either with a graphic design perspective or through collaborations I want to explore other creative areas such as sculpting, fashion and so on. My general interests will always be more grounded in physical production, but I love seeing these amalgamated into digital platforms so that they become accessible to everyone.

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...

  LAYOUTS and UX I've noticed design studios use for their sites: 1. Simple white layout or black and white layout, sans-serif bold text, no specific logo or style present, scroll down box images of each project 2. Introductory logo used as image window or general logo, interaction leads into actual site  3. More interesting layout utilises UX more and guides the user through the different areas with seamless arrows  4. Either all the outputs are seen together collectively small, or they are large, independent, you have to scroll/click through to get to different briefs  STUDIOS that produce work I'm interested in: YES — Featured - Mostly do site designs and UX which is something I have only touched on - But their aesthetic and direction is really similar to where I would picture myself going, feels very artistic, has touches of fine art there rather than other studios which feel extremely one dimensional graphic design, super commercial branding  - Work with lo...
