What were you in the past?
I used to be a fine artist, studying Fine Art and Design at A Level, with an interest in graphic design. However, I was very naive to designers that were out there and their different styles and didn't have a very good understanding of what graphic design was. Art was always a reasonably strong subject at school and college for me and I always wanted to do something with it. I found though that the more I furthered art, the more I became interested in graphics.
What are you now?
I see myself now to be someone still very interested in design. I have progressed to be a first year graphic design student, doing a degree at The College of Art and Design in Leeds. Although I am interested in a lot of design aspects, I have found that I am particularly interested in typography, illustration and digital photography.
What do you intend to become in the future?
I would like to improve my skills using In Design programmes, such as Adobe illustrator and Photoshop, because at the moment I am very much a beginner trying to work them out! I feel that they are holding me and my work back not being able to use them properly. So basically become a computer genius...
If I could I would also like to combine my love for music with design and try to get into designing for music packaging companies or artists.
E.g. For Cd sleeves, Cd's and promo merchandise.
I also find design for magazines to be interesting and creatively inspirational so possibly work for a magazine company?
There are many things I would like to strive to become. Another one would be a web designer, however I realise for this to happen I would have to brush up on my computer skills first!
