All of the pieces of work that I have uploaded, I have created in response to briefs set by my tutor at Bedford college where I am currently studying for the BTEC National Diploma (except ‘flag cushions’). I am really enjoying the course and would love the opportunity to deepen my understanding within the subject. I am very enthusiastic individual and I always try my best at any task I have, I think that Graphic Design BA(HONS) at Manchester Metropolitan University would suit me really well because I am very confident and I try to use that in my work, I try to stand out from the crowd, make my mark. I have a very mature attitude and know that student life in a big city would be a brilliant experience for me as it would allow me to become much more independent. 

Pastel Drawing

This is the outcome of a drawing activity I participated in, I was required to draw small objects inside a matchbox at 800%. I chose to use pastels, and to draw a key, hinge, button, hair clip and a peg.

Snake Book

This brief was to create and abstract image using newspaper/magazine clippings and then give the image a purpose. I decided to create a ladybird book cover about greek mythology out of my image. The reason being that it reminded me of the greek myth, Medusa, and I wanted to show this in the form of a book.

Personalised Stamps

The brief for this project was to create a set of personalised stamps. What I chose to do with this brief, was to create a set of envelopes that the stamps can be applied to. 

Lucida Bright

I have created a book which explains a little about the font Lucida Bright, it also shows the many aspects of the font. I have included every letter from the alphabet, each number from 1-10 and all the common punctuation marks. I have also included the ligatures.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

The brief for this piece requested that I re-create a film poster for a new audience. The film I chose was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I decided to aim it towards a male audience. Keeping reference to the car, I created the number plate and to represent the 'Bang Bang', I had it shot with a genuine gun. The tagline I have used is a quote from the original film.

Train; tickets

This piece was from a brief titled 'special object'. I was asked to pick something that meant something to me and the then choose a way to communicate the story behind the object. I chose my train tickets, which signify my growing independence. I have created a train out of my train tickets that looks child like to represent the beginning, starting out completely dependant and as the words progress, as did my independence
