• We got the chance to explore our interests in Uni on Monday, this took a huge amount of my brain usuage. Most of us had decided that 'we no longer have time to have interests, beause we are given too much Uni work' Or this was what we told our lecturer anyway. But, we 'finally' came up with some ideas and just a couple of mine were my love for owls, music, writing, collecting clothes labels, eating food (an obvious one) and playing sports. Which I know longer do, because I have became lazy since starting Uni. After we had all put together a list of all of our interests, we then thought of things we would like to achieve and learn by the end of the year, before linking these two together and thinking of some personal projects that we would like to work on. I combined writing and owls together, and so far I have decided to do a project on the art of hand written letters. Although, I am yet to think of some more ideas, so hopefully I will come up with some new ideas and projects to work on. I am definitely looking forward to starting this module properly after Christmas.
  • Over the past couple of months, one of my projects in University has been to rebrand our Art and Design campus. After a range of research, in a couple of weeks we as a year group have had to put together some final concepts which will go on display in the gallery on Monday. For the exhibiton I worked on some promotional material for the exhibition and this is the poster design and flyer that I have came up with. The 3D abstract building on this represents the outside front reception area of Kingsway. The purpose of this is to advertise it in order to get people from the campus to come along and see our ideas and hopefully give us some feedback on what they think. Once my exhibition piece has been printed, I intend to do another blog post showing my ideas.

  • Me, Lorna, Alice and Alex decided to go along to WA Creative a few weeks back. It is a design conference that took place in Warrington at the Pyramid. This was my first time and I really enjoyed it there. We met some fantastic people. The evening started off with some drinks, before seating to hear the design conference. Afterwards we had the chance to take a look around, at the pieces of Art on display there and mingle with some professional people. Overall it was a really good experience and I have signed up to attend more of these design events. There is one happening next Wednesday, which reminded me to post about the last conference. Me and Lorna are hoping to attend this one again too.
