I apologise over the lack of posts but I’ve been swamped with deadlines and other commitments. Here is a quick catch-up:
It’s officially over. Four years at Salford University, completing an Art Foundation and a BA Advertising Design course have flown by. I graduate this July with a high 2:1. Over the moon with my results.
It’s been a roller-coaster ride but all the highs and lows have paid off. Sleepless nights and early mornings, losing all my work a day before my deadline, regularly losing my usb, wanting to give up, feeling hopeless, mind going blank for weeks on end. Then the glorious spark of an idea, the eureka moment, everything falling into place, feeling like I’m on top of the world.
It’s been an incredible experience. Still not quite sunk in that I won’t be back at uni in September. But I’m excited. I have learnt so, so, so much and I can’t wait to put it all into practise. I have countless hopes and dreams that I want to bring to life. This isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. Corny but it’s true ^_^
Check out my online portfolio to see my recent work. My personal website is a work in progress and the video I created for my D&AD brief can be viewed here.
As always, I’m open to feedback and criticism. Please let me know what you think. I hope to continue updating this blog so follow to keep updated. For an insight into my day-to-day activities, follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
