Briefs - what i want out of level 6.

Goals for level 6:


- Become more comfortable working  with type and layout.
                        - Type driven designs.

- Try different processes/approaches to creating design work, try to be different.

- Make sure the content dictates the design, design for purpose. 
                        - form - function.

- Trip to Amsterdam has given me a grounding understanding of where I would like to take my practice, working within editorial design as much as possible, magazine design, book work.
                        - Need to develop my type and layout skills, learn the fundamentals [what I missed from the type sessions].

- Create an overall design style/aesthetic for myself.

- Work on briefs that I am interested in, in order to be fully focussed. Tie in my own personal interests.

- Choose serious briefs/create serious outcomes around my chosen field that will over all help me come out on university with a strong portfolio that represents who I am as a designer, ready for industry.

- Work with print, push the boundaries of print, experiment with print processes as much as possible to help produce unique work.

- Keep in contact with professionals that I met in Amsterdam, utilising them for help throughout 3rd year, all so try to sort out a placement over there for when I finish the degree programme. 

3RD YEAR BEGINS

BOOM!
