Upon reflecting on the options for and formats my presentation could take form from, I decided that I'd like to do a simple pdf styled presentation telling a story of my time here so far. I reminisced on my time right now last year and how my aesthetic, goals and beliefs in design have changed since then. I think I have a much clearer idea of the kind of path I'd like to continue down after university and also how my work has altered to suit this dream.
Through the first year of university my design aesthetic was very unclear and I wasn't really sure what I specified the best in. After spending a lot of time out on the holiday, I continued completing personal projects using the skills I had learnt and in doing this I completed more work that I was interested in and enjoyed doing. This involved a lot of poster design, editorial and zine making.
Keeping this in mind, I have now set goals to achieve such as an internship in the holiday and also a self initiated collaborative project to create a regular magazine with a fellow peer. These are things I strive for the most in my design and hope that they carve the right career path best suited for me. Through this process I have also discovered a majority of things that I dislike in design such as design for screen, digital based design, UX & UI and so on. These are the things I am least talented in and also go against my creative direction. The reason I believe this is because I think there is a strong rivalry between print and screen in some cases for instance publishing information and if I were to pick a side, it would surely be print.
Now I have a good idea of some of things I could possibly talk about, I can refine them into a more concise idea. I could talk about all of things just stated in my presentation or just concentrate on the things I do no enjoy to leave an open ended question of what next?
