Aims
To be creatively free.
Never be a Mac Monkey.
To express my ideas without compromise.
Work to live, not live to work.
Not to be restricted by preconceived ideas
of ‘good’ design
More than a Graphic Designer.
More than Design.
More than a 9 – 5.
Creativity is a lifestyle.
Sector
Arts, Culture and Fashion.
Design for social change, documentation and
improvement.
Commercial position to suit my agenda would
be a role in an editorial or digital publishing platform, such as Dazed and
Confused or ID Magazine.
Aspirations
After graduating from the course, I plan to
complete a master’s degree in Art Direction, as it could result in a quicker
route into industry.
Editorial design:
Design for publications and editorial
material.
Creative Direction:
Creating, developing and applying ideas
into published material through all fields of design.
Creative Director for a publishing platform
(D&C / ID) or fashion / arts / culture brand (APC / ACNE STUDIOS).
I believe the role of a designer in the future is going to be beyond definable boundaries, a designer will have to be involved in every field of design.
A designer in the future will have to be skilled in all fields of design to prosper.
Manifesto
Design is a tool to be used for social change, documentation and improvement.
Without complying to preconceived ideas of ‘good’ design, I am to create expressive, exciting and experimental work.
Design is to be used to achieve personal goals, such as travel, expression and an enjoyable living.
Creativity should:
-
Not to be restricted by
preconceived ideas of ‘good’ design
-
Not to be fetishized; it is to
be used as a tool to achieve other goals, such as travel, personal expression
and an enjoyable living.
-
Be free, expressive, exciting
and experimental.
-
Design for social change,
documentation and improvement.
Design has to communicate an idea through
interaction with one or all senses
Post Graduation
Study a Masters Degree in Art Direction.
I believe this will be an enjoyable experience while developing the skills and aid in defining an industry position.
I intend to study in London or a European capital because of the greater opportunites and experience.
Ideal Role
Creative/ Art director in the Arts, Culture and Fashion Industry.
Creating, sustaining and being directly involved within a creative team .
Creating my own position within this industry with a saleable product.
Route
Starting with self initiated publications and collaborations.
Progressing to larger publications such as The City Talking.
With the aim of working with the likes of Dazed and Confused & ID Magazine.
Notes
Interests x Taste level = my practice
A way of thinking creatively cannot be taught,
Skills to apply this creativity can.
Design without justification is to be mocked.
There are bigger problems in the world than
the point size of your sub heading on page 23.
