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.
