Finished work experience

Finished my 3 weeks work experience as a Graphic Designer for a company called Chic Promotions! Was great experience, I feel like I've improved my skills in designing.

What did I do during my work experience? I designed banners and adverts for the Sheffield student magazine and website, also being given tasks to design adverts in which the client requested.

I had a fun 3 weeks learning and developing new skills, and seeing life as a Graphic Designer.

Studying Graphic Design at Leeds Metropolitan University

So it's about a month away until I move to Leeds Metropolitan to start my Graphic Design course. I'm really looking forward to it, but I am nervous at the same time. I guess this is only natural.

Wish me luck!

Pears soap advertisement

I was given a random product that I had to design and promote. "Pears Soap" had a really plain packaging and design so I made it look more natural using images of real pears and part of the colour scheme from the soap.

I also redesigned a packaging for the product.

Environment Propaganda poster

For the pathway stage I was given a task to produce a Propaganda poster for a recent event that has happened e.g. oil spill, earthquake, swine flu etc.

I chose to look into the environment of people destroying forests for business and money.

I used the image in which represents the future.

The poster is telling people that if we continue to do so, forests will be extinct.
