Design Strategies presentation

Targets and goals to achieve

Within my presentation i stated what short term and long term goals i wanted to meet in the 3rd year. By setting these they will set a schedule and deadlines which i will need to meet, keeping me on track and not letting my design head sleep or fall asleep so to speak. By always keeping myself on my feet and refreshing my goals i hope to develop further a designer and create a more professional style, knowledge base within graphic design.

Long term

Short term

I will document my process both on my short term and long terms goals and ensure i meet them.

New work studio was a great find for me as it is work that i really enjoy looking at and appreciate the simple, clean and clinical layout that they use. Their work is something i wish to study as i develop my own work, taking influence and incorporating it into my own style.

Also i hope to contact them and possibly set up a placement or ask them a few questions that will benefit my design process and give me an idea of what i will need to do to achieve in the future the standard of which they are at currently as a design studio.

I will be keeping regular updates of their work and what they are doing on my design contxt blog.

Electronic Poet branding brief

I really enjoyed this one day project as it was a quick turn around and that i had to make quick decisions for the design, which i feel helped as i didn't have time to over design and overlook what the brief was asking. i was pleased the client liked the final design and said it was "exactly what I was looking for, even though it was similar to the gay pride logo, it has an individuality of its own". I hope to take on more banding brief in the future and experiment with short briefs throughout the year.

What now...?

Now using this as a starting point and reference i can go into to the 3rd year with a clear target of what i want to achieve and work on how i will reach the goals set. By using this presentation to refer to i can 'tick' off what i have noted down as i go along, and from there on set myself new targets so that i keep myself and my work progressing continuously. by doing this i will keep me active and hopefully not allow my to slow down or become lethargic with my work.
