Well I have moved into my new flat but getting the internet took us far longer than anticipated! But I finally sorted it and am ready to crack on with some work! I received my dissertation proposal form back the other day and thankfully it was approved. So I’m looking forward to researching grids in great depth. I’ve also picked out 4 briefs to have a go at over the next month – 3 from past ISTD papers and a D&AD one as well. I also plan to do some more cross stitching this summer as I’m still getting positive feedback on the needlework I did for my art foundation course.
I also need to finish off the portfolio part of my website! I’ve had this domain for a while now but never found the time to do it – this weekend definitely!
I’ve been looking at some work as well. I always need something to look at first, I can’t design in a vacuum. Something that really caught my eye was a poster by Nivard Thoes. The colourful text placed directly over the black & white photo is slightly difficult to read but I think it has great impact and works well as a promotional poster for the opera ‘Drebbel’.
It’s good to be back!
