PPP Presentation notes

1. Hello

2. positioning statement    

3. Level 4 & 5

Looked back at my previous 2 years at college and realised how much my designs have changed and developed.

First year enjoyed

Colour and type theory 

Learnt a lot about layout that I have put into practice and it has helped my publication design now

Only knew Photoshop when I first came to uni so got to grips with other programmes such as illustrator and InDesign

Second year

Started to enter competitions 

Started to use the print facilities more, learning how to do different processes

4. Logo

Here is some of my branding from last year, made a promotional pack

This year: began to develop my logo and decided I want to keep it black and white, as my work tends to have a lot of colour within it, and the black would go with everything.

Still want to devlop this logo further, Ive have had a few more ideas just need to develop them further

5. Personal Promotion

Start of this year I created my website, just so its easier to send to studios, a good platform to bring it all together. Still going to continue using Behance, Linkedn and other online sources

6. Cheese

The cheese society has been a good thing to watch my designs develop as well as organising events.

Us at our first event / screen printing tote bags for new members / events this year have been the eat and greet, happy birthday Cheesus Christ and the Ot-brie run

7. Dairy Disco

Dairy Disco is our next event / there’s two illustrators in first year that want to help out and eventually take over the cheese society next year / currently trying to do a gif of a DJ ing cow

8. Collaboration

Really enjoyed collaborating with different people and people that aren’t on graphics as they can help out with things I can’t do or do that well

9. COP

I really enjoyed COP / focused on print in the digital era

During COP I contacted a few studios and creatives for their opinion on print in the digital era

People I contacted / Ditto, OKIDO, RIOTTO, Colour May Vary and DR. ME

10. COP Publication

Good technique experiment, with foiling, letterpress and gradient screen-printing all processes that I am going to do again

11. Risotto

Just completed a week placement at Risotto studio in Glasgow a riso print and design studio / everything was printed on this laptop year that’s from the 90’s as they are more compatible with the printers

It was just me and the director of the company Gabriella Marcella

12. Risotto

Working at the Glue Factory in Glasgow, an old glue factory that has turned into studios for artist, from woodwork to illustration

Inside a riso printer / like screen printing but in a machine / create the artwork the same way you would as if you were screen-printing the artwork gets burnt onto the screens inside the printer and spits the prints out fast / bare in mind how the colours are going to mix on paper / printed a lot within the week from wedding invites to zines for college students

The poster I created / the £25 Club a poster that is going to be distributed around uni’s / getting students aware of riso printing and the effect it creates / tabs at the bottom for students to tear off

14. Jota

Another thing I worked on while on there is a new notebook range she is going to launch called jota

Gabriella wants it to be the equivalent of Moleskin, but something you add to and add to over and over

Making design decisions / base papers / 10 features / colour / front cover / red plastic spiral

15. Fluid

Next week going to work for a much larger agency called Fluid in Birmingham / worked for big brands such as Disney, mtv and one direction/ want to see the difference from working in a small agency / freelancing and the larger agency

16. Plan after college

don’t have much of a plan yet / apply for jobs that interest me / work at a few festivals helping them set up / would like to work for a design agency and freelance on the side, so I can eventually freelance full time/ want to move to Berlin for a year at some point / excited for the next chapter

Thank-you
