Designer’s statement
I am a graphic designer from South East London currently in
my first year of university. I am currently studying Graphic Design &
Advertising at the University of East London. I have been studying Graphic
Design for 3years; I first took up graphics during college, where I was
enrolled at Croydon College. I have many interests within the creative field; I
also have an interest in Music. I produce instrumentals in my spare time and
work with other artists to make tracks. I mainly work in the hip hip-hop, Rap
and RnB industries. In my time in college I did a Btec in Graphic design and
two years before that I did a Btec in business, this is what led me to picking
Graphics and advertising at university.
My favourite area in graphic design is illustration; I have
designed lots of pieces of work using the software. I created 2 posters for
Croydon Council using Adobe illustrator, the brief was to create a poster to
raise awareness of teen drinking and another was to raise awareness of the
consequences of mixing alcohol with prescription drugs. I am also able to use
other software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign I have done lots of
different pieces using these programs such as creating a magazine on all my
previous work and photo editing. I have also done work in typography,
pictograms, logos, monograms, sculptors and a small amount of animation work
using Photoshop and then editing it placing appropriate sound effects and
background music.
My work has been influenced by many different artists, such
as Michael Craig Martin, Matt W Moore, Aaron Gilmore, David Carson and Rachel Whiteread.
I did a piece of work for my college, I had to create Seasons greeting card, Rachael
Whiteread inspired me on this project because she likes to create 3D designs at
a large scale so I created a Christmas Tree using paper which I then cut them
out in a box template, stuck them together and stacked them on top of each
other and stuck a star on the top.
I have also done some independent work I, created posters
and cd covers for upcoming Music artist such as Jessy Say’na and Gio Tanna. I
have also created leaflets and posters for the club promoter ‘Icecream’ . In my
second year of college I was personally asked to make a poster by the head of
the department, I was asked to make and design a poster of an up and coming
event ‘Progression Fair’
Below are a couple of my designs mainly from my final major
project which I done in Croydon college for my last project, the piece was
heavily inspired by Michael Craig martin and his colour scheme. The posters are
advertising the Olympic Games which are held in North Greenwich Arena, I used
illustrator to create these posters. There is also a preview of a CD cover
which I created using illustrator for upcoming artist Jessy Sayna
