Dan Ingham and Steven Owen

On the 28th of November, two of Stockport college graphic design’s x –student came to give us a talk about their experience after leaving college and establishing their career life as graphic designers.

They highlighted the different between being a student and being an independent graphic designer as in what would it be like in the actual industry.

I personally found this particular talk very useful out of all of all talks , as they talked about their experience in college and how fun it was for them; in term of briefs and atmosphere, yet emphasizing how fun it is comparing to the stressful and busy environment out side college.

They have also emphasized how important it is to come to college every day and make the most of it and most importantly they highlighted ‘working hard’ which they found out from their experience own experience firstly in college and out side college.

One of the main points that they have emphasized on is that a designer is not only about having a good idea but it is about being enthusiastic and a hard worker.

They also have gave us tips on how to prepare ourselves for our next step journey, after college.

REDdog

i love this typeface which has been designed by Glorious 

it has a strong charecter about it and the fact its called reddog and its in red gives it a stronger character.

the type face works creatively with all application 

its one of my best peice of design that has been created by glorious.

idea3 poyal park end sting

That is one of my other ideas that I have came up with after researching the park it self.

 i found out that it has 8 parks which what the idea was based on

Idea2 The royal park end sting

This is one of my ideas for the royal park end sting.

i think it is good but it is not representing the park it self. 

the idea is the leaf is being blown by a wind creating the crown shape which is the logo then the text would appear.

portfolio research

The reason I liked this pice of design is the use of white space, although there is alot gong on but the eyes can follow it easily. I like the white and black use of colours in images and among text too.

i am looking at lot of layout as i will be designing my portfolio in a book format.

IS

I really liked the use of white space in the book, i also liked the colours which drags the eyes from the to the word.

I loved the typeface a lot as it works well with the fact the the black colour is only in have. i think it reflected it really dramatically
