I thought I'd post this here because it sort of summises where I'm up to at his point. The work over summer starts with a self initiated publication that I'm very proud of and once I've looked at some paper stocks (I ordered numerous swatchbooks that should arrive imminently) I'm going to print and photograph for my portfolio. I've also done some Gang of New York posters, which I did whilst watching the film, inspired by the unique identities of each of the gangs. I like them and they could be a nice edition to my portfolio (again I need to chose a nice paper stock).
Then we move on to a collaboration I've done with a fashion student, which we're screen printing on Friday, ready to sell to some nice shoppy-shops. From this I've managed to wrangle a branding and stationary brief for her label which should be a great live brief for OUGD302.
Then there's some work on a website template, which is good in that I've had the experience with the WYSIWYG software but as you can see form the slides, I've updated my identity since then. I know a guy who has offered to build me a website as part of his course which is useful rendering what I've done so far quite redundant.
Finally there is my work for a promotions manager who does various club nights in the North East. Essentially, I sold my soul for not very much money and no creative direction so it was a good exercise in seing where I don't want to end up in the design world. Especially with a dubious experience of slowly transforming a not so bad (not good still) design into a re-hash of a sex and the city poster which was so bleakly depressing you wouldn't believe.
After this, the last slide is just a few statements about what I want to do this year and then some pro-active solutions to how I'm going to get what I want. Hopefully I can reign it in to 7-10 minutes, but I can probably talk for a while about various subject matters.
