Final Thoughts

As this is my last project in education I really believe that I gave it everything I had. I believe that I have vastly improved in the past three years and I am incredibly proud of the work that I have produced at university. My final major hopefully will be testament to my efforts but I still wish I could have done more (Im never satisfied with my work). This project took me a while to get into because I wanted to make sure that I picked the right project for me, a project that would help me develop that one extra bit before I leave education. I believe that is has in many ways, I have a better understanding of concepts and better understand of minimalism in design. I used to think minimalism was a way of doing less work but in essence it can be harder. The concepts have to be 100% spot on otherwise the design fails. To me minilistic design is all about the concept and composition. This blog has been my best collective of research since I began university and I have really enjoyed posting my ideas, research and general thoughts about this project.

My final year at university was easily the best out of the three as I feel that I connected more with the lecturers and my fellow students. I really am proud of the work that I produced this year and I will be proud of whatever achievement I get at the end.

With just over two hours away from the deadline I am very excited about the future and attempting to become Graphic Designer in the industry.

Wish me luck.

The Remakes

Every poster design that I have done for my fmp that I am completely satisfied with... completely... nearly... I cant stop editing them.

Sneak Peak

I Just got my poster designs back from the printers and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I was so excited I decided to take a couple of snap shots for the blog. Each design is printed onto high quality recycled paper and is A3 in size.
