Overall the feedback that I recieved was quite positive, some things that were mentioned were it was neat, worked well together, good use of colour, good size, good variety or work, good use of type, creates impact and effective logo.
Although not all was positive, the negatives that were given to me I kind of already knew, I think I needed more time to varify these but oh well! These are easily amenable though, I need to keep the borders of my examples of work consitant, need to keep my identity consisant in form of type face, crafting of business cards could be to a higher standard, improvement of stock chosen and my images were a bit small.
So overall I am happy with the feedback given to me, I am going to make necessary adjustments to make my promotional to a more professional and high quality standard so that I will be more than happy to send it out to clients and design industries.

Statement of intent 25-09-09
Statement of intent- 25-09-09
Over third year I really want to see myself establishing my own style and focusing in on an in particular area.
I want to develop my interest in experimental typography, I think I could bring my illustrative skills into this and I think it could open a whole new path to me.
I have also always wanted to become more involved with image and type combined and have this shown through my work so I am going to develop more on this.
From working at ATTIK this has opened me up to other paths also such as branding and identity and I want to continue developing my skills in this area, I have become a member of crowd spring over summer and this enables me to enter live briefs and a lot of them are surrounding this area so it is good experience for me and I also recieve feedback from the clients that post the briefs so this is also beneficial.
Another thing that became apparent in my presentation is that I need to go and visit other design agencies other than ATTIK to get a feel for how others work. I want to go and explore Manchester and see what opportunities there are there for me.
I think it is really beneficial going to work placements even if it is just for the day because you learn so much so I am going to push myself to go to as many as I can and also visit designers that I am inspired by.

Rationale 25-09-09
Rationale- 25-09-09
The underlying reasons for me focusing my work around typography and illustration are basically because I think these are my strongers areas as a designer and I think there is always room for improvement and there is a lot I still need to learn to become more successful. I think this way I will become more professional and my outcomes will be of a higher standard.
I think it will also be beneficial for me to work collaboratively with designers that are suited to my style, I really like working with other people and having a second opinion about my ideas and I think this will also help me improve.
As I have said in my statement of intent I want to make sure that I go and visit or speak to designers that I am inspired by and this will boost my confidence and attitude towards Graphic Design and it will help me start to get my work out in the industry and begin to get my name known and collect contacts for when I finish college and I am going to be looking for a job.
