2nd Year Presentation!

Open publication - Free publishing - More graphic design

1. Intro, name ect
2. What is good:
   Dyslexia Depot. Dyslexia is good.
   Though when it comes to spelling, dyslexia really isn’t that good unless you have a dam good spell checker. What I liked about this brief was my small step in the direction character design. And yes it was very small but it was something I wanted to delve more into.
3. Print booklet:
   I’ll admit that I still have the basic understanding of print and I wish I had done a little bit more research into the different printing methods. There where some really good booklets being designing on the course and I don’t think that mine quite cut it. However, I was quite impressed and pleased with the over grade I got for the module and it was something I wanted to keep up with for the rest of the year. This would give me something to work towards.
4. Digital module:
   After effects is not my fortay. I was really looking forward to this module because I’ve always had a thing for animation though it didn’t go quite to plan. I had a few troubles trying to wrap my head around After Effects and in the end I didn’t have an all sing all dancing set of indents…however, what I did have worked for what I as planning and my final grade was so much better than what I have been expecting. And I got watch allot of films about robots!
5. Product Range and Distribution:
   Character Design! The area in which I want to develop more when I go into the 3rd year as well as when I leave the course. I don’t think I’ve done it much justice yet as I need to broaden my illustrative skills and develop them more during the summer.
6. Free lance work:
   Is both a pain in the ass and welcome. It meant I was doing something different and album art work was never something I’d done. I had a client who was a angel to work for and one that I wanted to punch every time he sent me a rude email or condescending phone call. The end result for his was nothing I was proud of as he had a designer working with him, yet he wouldn’t let me design. For next time, I’m going to sit down with the client and make sure they read the brief and that we outline specific problems and thing’s that need addressing.
7. Plans for summer:
   As well as my dissertation research and a trip to Newcastle to Paul Windle Design, I’m planning to focus my design skills on character design and comic scripting. As it is the area I want to go into then I dam well need to brush up my skills or I’m never going to achieve the professional level that I need to.
   
8. 3rd year: HA! (I’m going to turn into a hermit crab. I’ve even started browsing for shell’s, but really I’m going to try and be more focused on the area of design I want to go into.)
   

End Slide! (I am not young enough to know everything.)
