My aspiring career
path and course
-Why I want to be in
the chosen industry? I want to be in the creative industry because it
allows individuals to express themselves through creativity, and let their
artistic juices flow. Having a career in this industry would be perfect for me
since I have always been a very visual and practical person.
-What can I bring to
the course? 1. An advanced and wide knowledge in certain Art and Design
based techniques. This is due to The Brit School that has offered me the
opportunity to try a number of interesting things within Art and Design that I
wouldn’t have experienced otherwise in another school. Although, this is not to
say that there isn’t room for improvement and learning more things. 2.
Encouragement and Motivation – I am self motivated and also have the ability to
encourage and motivate others.
-Why do I want to do
the chosen course? In a previous project at school we were presented with
the chance to do lens based and graphic design activities. It included the use
of Photoshop, film photography, film development, digital photography and
T-shirt design. My involvement in these activities triggered my interest in
graphic design. I feel this course is
extremely diverse in the sense that it opens doors to a number of careers.
-What inspires me?
Living in London I get doses of inspiration every day. It is such a diverse and
vibrant city full of things to see and do, making it virtually impossible not
to get inspired. I also gain inspiration from travelling to different Cities
and Countries, where I get the opportunity to experience other cultures.
-External influences?
My external influences include Graphic Designer Otl Aicher, Paula Scher (a
significant female graphic designer), and Illustrator Harry Clarke.
-Projects and work
that I have done appropriate to the course – Postcodes which was a lens
based and Graphics project (digital photography, film photography, film
development, Photoshop, T-shirt design, typography). I am currently doing a
narrative illustration project.
