Week 2 : Business models/Invoicing – Test&Rehearse
Personally this week has been a huge challenge - I knew, going into this module, that my lack of experience within a studio would hinder my progress. And when initially starting this brief I really panicked that my figures and costings would be a complete shot in the dark. But I went back over what… Continue reading Week 2 : Business models/Invoicing – Test&Rehearse
Week 1 – Workshop Challenge
Research In Week 2 of the first module i really went out of my comfort zone and spoke to a number of freelance designers and business owners in the York area. It was a really fascinating and honest insight into how York is encouraging creative spirit through festivals, network meetups and more, despite quite a… Continue reading Week 1 – Workshop Challenge
Week 1 – Learning from the Pros
This week it's back to it and we've hit the ground running! I was initially terrified of starting this module - the idea of using our experience in Design Studios or Freelance work to discuss our current positions and future paths we want to take. For someone with minimal design studio experience this is not… Continue reading Week 1 – Learning from the Pros
Week 9 : Reflections
This week was really quite difficult for me. I started wanting to represent my city in a warm welcoming light. The more I researched the more frustrated and angry I got at the world and the words we were all saying and repeating. I knew I needed to use these emotions in this week’s work… Continue reading Week 9 : Reflections
Week 12 : Paradigm Shifts
Our final week for this module - terrifying and exciting! The subject this week is so open ended and flexible I have a feeling we're going to see some really different and alternative outcomes. My focus this week has to be wearable technology and the future of tracking implants or devices. It's something I've thought… Continue reading Week 12 : Paradigm Shifts

This week has got me thinking about how speculative design can be used to transform our futures and to look at what we might be missing today that could affect the way we live. I recently have a Zoom debate with my family - one member mentioned that this virus could have been stopped if… Continue reading Week 12 : Workshop challenge – Speculative Design
Week 11 : Workshop Challenge
This week we've been given two different case studies to choose from. Looking at the past few weeks and the amount of changes brands have had to make to keep up with this virus, I've found the one "brand" that's had to change the most is Easter. At a time where one of the world… Continue reading Week 11 : Workshop Challenge
Week 11 : Theory & Symbolism Behind a Message
This content heavy week is a fascinating insight into the hidden messages and semiotics within our cultures. Hosken's lecture inspired me to read Orwell's Politics in the English Language essay. Despite being written in 1946 it's more relevant now than ever before - this week's content couldn't be at a better time. We are now… Continue reading Week 11 : Theory & Symbolism Behind a Message
Week 10 – Workshop challenge
How can typographic conventions and design inform and imbue the meaning of a given text? Firstly, when looking into typographic conventions and design I came across a lot of "shaped" typography - where the words form a shape which directly links to the meaning of the text or poem. For me, this is the most… Continue reading Week 10 – Workshop challenge
