Raw studio visit

After e-mailing Tom at Raw, I went to visit the studio to show him my portfolio. Tom gave me some really insightful advice and gave me a lot of encouraging feedback. He wasn't able to offer me a placement as they had just taken on a new designer and there would have unfortunately been no room for people on placements. He said to keep in contact and show him updates to my portfolio if I ever need any feedback.

Creative Networks 

Tom said it was great that me and Luke took on this live project for the university and it was made better by the fact it was in support of creative collaborations and the creative industry in general.


Warrington Museum

I explained where the concept originated for the brand mark and he informed me that many portfolios rarely have a solid back story behind a branding project and this was nice to see, which was also nice to hear. I will definitely push myself in terms of conceptual idea generation when approaching future projects to ensure a clarified and well thought out concept. With the icons, he said to remove the red to ensure a monochrome palette throughout which I will definitely take on board

Portfolio (so far)

I decided to put a portfolio together as I had organised a visit with Raw in Salford. I tried to select what I believed were my most effective resolutions from the past couple of years. I also incorporated the project for Warrington Museum that I was completing for the OUGD301 module. I collated some of my favourite design a day projects and included this as a self-initiated brief as I have had encouraging feedback regarding the project.
