kate as a Designer....

I USED TO BE:

Lazy- my resurch had no resurch and facts. Just explored ideas that I found visually exiting and fun. I was also a lot more pretentious. I believe this was due to me wanting to find out for myself what Im good at creating in visual terms and not just that I was clueless in terms of my content and meaning. On the foundation course I felt this was actually considered secondary in terms of what is important. Now I am on a degree, I feel that my effort to investigate and therefore create a point of view or opinion with understanding, is a lot more vital and appreciated, and actually, is something Im getting quite good at.

I AM NOW:

Obsessed with parts of graphics. Reluctant to handcraft projects, which is good in terms of forcing me to use programs such as illustrator and photoshop, but bad in terms of exploring what I am good at and imporoving my presentation skills. Presentation is definetly something which I need to work on. From drawing to screen printing, I find it very hard to complete a succesful work of art. Screen printing is the hardest one at this point so I will try and include this in an upcoming project. Hit the nail on the head!

WHEN IM OLDER i WILL BE:

. Always in the no of what's going on around me, in terms of music, film and art. Important to the work produced.

. Upbeat work. I dont want to spend my life creating warning campaigns and ugly imagery just for effect. Although these kinds of campaigns are important, i dont want to let my work depress me or to get too involved in the meaning. It can sometimes just make me very emosional!

. Work that doesn't contradict any of my beliefs. I would never want to necessarily make a new campaign or logo for a MacDonnals advert, as it is against my religions and belief, despite me occasionally eating there! Something that would offend my family and friends and make me feel bad for producing, I want to stay well clear of.
