Personal Targets

We were asked to devise 10 'targets' which we wish to achieve during our first year on the course.

1) Experiment more with hand-rendered typography and image
The majority (if not all) of my work is digital therefore I want to expand my knowledge using all media

2) Look into the history and contextual side of graphic design in more depth

3) Use traditional printing techniques
Aforementioned, I primarily design using standard printing techniques creating deliverables such as posters, flyer etc but I want to experiment with more materials and use diverse techniques.

4) Document my work and research effectively on the blogs
I have never used a blog to document my work before therefore this process is completely alien. However, I want to make sure that everything I post is organised, well analysed and answers the brief effectively.

5) Focus more on typography


6) Create packaging in future projects


7) Gain experience in book binding/making
Something which I have always been interested in but lacked tools and training in my national diploma course.


8) Become more organised - have good time management

9) Be more confident in presentations/public speaking

10) To constantly try new things

  1. you and i have a lot of similar problems just in reverse i make most of my work and typefaces by hand and i know more about the traditional printing techniques. We'd learn a lot from each other if we got paired together. Also i did a book binding workshop on my foundation last year its really fun simple stuff i could show you a few basic things.
