FrontBack Providing designs for Salseros Unite as well as lens-based content has made me evaluate which of the two disciplines is my strongest. The Instagram graphics along with the flyer design are sufficient, but don’t stand-out. They fulfil the client’s brief of being minimal and communicating the cause of Red Nose Day, and the information…… Continue reading Salseros Unite Final Designs | Reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses

Writing an Invoice
Some voluntary work for Human Aquarium led to being commissioned making a film about the exhibition to be used for a funding application. In previous employment, I had emailed my ‘invoice’ within the email text. However, I was given the advice that this was a very insecure way of sharing my personal data. The Human…… Continue reading Writing an Invoice
Communication & Professionalism
Something I am becoming aware of is the challenge of keeping my personal and professional life separate. Although I would like to use my university email address as my ‘work’ email address, it will not be available to me after graduating, so I could risk losing contacts by using it as my primary email now.…… Continue reading Communication & Professionalism

Reflecting on Formative Feedback
It’s encouraging to have received such a positive response to my work so far. However, I can also see where I have sacrificed development in some areas to give time to others. For example – I have been very pro-active with networking in the local environmental/social sector – doing lots of voluntary work to gain…… Continue reading Reflecting on Formative Feedback
Priorities & Time Management | Reflecting on tutorial
At today’s tutorial I presented the following concerns: I am working on numerous projects – all of which I am enjoying and interested in. However, the number of projects I am involved in means I am not able to dedicate much time to each. All of the projects are live briefs, which are helping me…… Continue reading Priorities & Time Management | Reflecting on tutorial
Reviewing Green Action Designs
I used Adobe Illustrator to make these designs – a programme I am still looking to develop my confidence in. The initial layout ideas were well received by the client – Green Action Society. However, although they required some decisions about type and were some good practice for poster design, they did not require much…… Continue reading Reviewing Green Action Designs
BTS Videography | Reviewing Final Outcomes
https://youtu.be/G5CA7U3Qfck https://youtu.be/LHDcWTa795A Main points of learning: I felt the pressure of a fast turnaround – these edits had the purpose of promoting an exhibition launching in less than a week from the shoot day. Of the five of us, I was the only group member that produced a finished outcome suitable for using as promotion…… Continue reading BTS Videography | Reviewing Final Outcomes
