Personality vs Practice

Five statements about me as an individual

1. I would say that I prefer to live in/ or nearby a big city, as there seems to be a lot more things to do, places to be e.c.t , even though I like more rural areas I wouldn't want to live away from everything- however I would say I would like to experience more cities in England and I should start to do this.

2. I would say that I am a very understanding person and I am open to other peoples interests and opinions, I also like to hear about new things and even if I don't agree with someones choice I would say I don't judge them.

3. I really like reality tv shows, and things about celebrities in magazines, I think that some of the parts of their lifestyles are aspirational and a completely different way of living, and this is could be what interests me, but I would also say the drama- even though its mostly faked, entertains me.

4. I would also say I am influenced heavily by fashion and beauty, I think that this probably reflects in some of my design tastes as well.

5. Having people around me that have gone through much larger things in life has made me put myself into perspective and has made me learn to try to enjoy every day, I would say as well as this more recently i feel that you should surround yourself with people that make you happy and you should do things that make you happy. I feel like in the past I have been very serious and worried too much. 

Five statements about myself as a practitioner

1. I really seem to be drawn to work that have print finishes such as foiling, embossing/debossing. I have tried this in one piece of work I have done I would like to try this more but it is quite limited.

2. I would say that I am still really interested in branding and identity, I would also say I prefer work that is quite minimal, typographic, photographic, modern, sophisticated and slightly fashion editorial like.

3. I would say that I am really behind with being able to create a website, I can't wait to be taught how to do this because I like a lot of work that is on screen, i feel that most of the time it looks better than when its printed, but also it would be extremely helpful and useful.

4. I do also like a lot of work that is all or heavily typographical.

5. I would say I also seem to like design that has an element of laser cut. I think that it can create some very simple but effective designs.
