annandaniel - Spanish Photographers / Architects I decided to look at two completely different "designers" for my case studies... Both are a bit off the wall but they represent everything I've just said. They both took a passion and turned it into something else - they both utilised their "side projects" to benefit themselves in… Continue reading Week 10 – Workshop Challenge
Firstly, I wanted to cover the second lecture we watched regarding our course. For me, this was a really great insight into what other designers think about a modern design course such as this one. I think there's always going to be sticking points with the (older) generation not necessarily understanding how this type of… Continue reading Week 7 : Expanding Borders
The focus this week is to come up with some ideas for a new digital tool that we pitch - we then choose one to develop further next week... Throughout the last 7 weeks I've had so many different ideas about this it was tough reducing it to just 3 ideas. It's also difficult to… Continue reading Week 7 : Workshop Challenge

Also the lecture on Friday really made me rethink what I deem as normal Graphic Design terminology. Harrie's interview about collaborative design… Continue reading Week 6 : Interdisciplinary Design
This is my current progress with the business plan - I lost all confidence in this last week and nearly started again with Freelance plan... I'm glad I didn't and I've seen it through. This is obviously a work in progress so I haven't yet templated it or made it look "pretty"! https://www.aiga.org/business-planning-part-two https://www.aiga.org/business-planning-part-one https://creativemarket.com/blog/how-to-write-design-proposal… Continue reading Week 4 Business Plan
Niemann and Blechman have a long standing history of collaborative illustrations, working together on works for New York Times and other illustrative designs. Their focus, when working with another illustrator is to have a sense of trust and faith in the other person – this, Blechman states is vital to ensure you’re able to work… Continue reading Week 5 : Workshop Challenge
I found it really interesting this week to look at Susanna's comment of the relationships needed for working within collaborative design. Quite often, collaborative design is borne from the requirement of another skillset or the needs of a project - but I love the idea of using collaboration to work with some you know, or… Continue reading Week 5 : Collaboration Research
So at the start of this week, the thought of writing 3000 carefully thought out, and planned words seemed like a massive mountain to climb. Of course, we've all got these ideas of our ideal future business and our passion is there, but for me, the lack of understanding about financial futures, staffing models, future… Continue reading Week 4 : Business Planning
This week is another huge topic which is full of vital information. the Ideas Wall has been so useful in finding out where people stand with certain cases and highlighting how the Copyright area of graphic design is so vague. My intention for the next few years is to work within a design studio and… Continue reading Week 3 : IP Law and Copyright & Workshop Challenge
