For a brief I would quite like to brand a clothing range, then I can take photographs/make a website/ retail graphics. All the kind of things I want to do in the future. 

This year I am going to use a lot of my photography within my work, and I aim to create designs for publications such as this above through using photographs and type working together.

In this next year I want to brand a company and then create a range of products branded with the logo such as the corporate identity above. 

I really LOVE the work at because studio! I have been following them on twitter alos and they seem to keep in touch alot with Effektive which is another company which I really like! 

I would love to have a placement here, however I have had no reply from them, which is unfortunate. But I am always hopeful of the future so lets hope.. 

Whilst I want to brand and promote a company through design, within branding, I would like to do a lot of manipulation of type. And create a logo through a sophisticated edit of type, that is suitable/relevant to the company. 

This next year I want to create as many publications as I can and really get into layout, as in many projects I have wanted to create a properly bound book, however have not left myself enough time.

BRANDING

This year I want to create a brand and corporate identity for a company and create a range of products relating to the company. Of which I found this brief on D&AD

PACKAGING

This brief will allow me to create a range of packaging designs for retail, of which I feel is missing from my portfolio that I would like to be in there. 

MOVING IMAGE

Although this asks for a 'film' I would like to use this brief and create an animation. As this will allow me to strengthen my knowledge in After Effects of which I think are missing.

Experiment with type and photographs//

I would love to come out of a brief with a collection of work like this. I love the type, photography and layout all combined and collected together.

OPEN BRIEFS

I like the ISTD briefs as they are both open briefs, which I feel allow me to be more creative and think a little outside of the box, come up with something new, yet give me enough information to keep me focussed; which I prefer. 

BRANDING

This will allow me to create a brand, advertise and also create a range of products. So this brief would be / could be quite a big brief if taken far enough.

PHOTOGRAPHY & TYPE

This may possibly be my favourite brief. I want to use this one to incorporate my photography and create type from the environment around me. I think I will really enjoy this one along with creating the style of work I believe is my style and also the kind of work I want to create in the future. 

10 Briefs..

After thinking about the type of designer I want to be in the future, I have come to the conclusion that these are the subject/medias I want to focus on in my third year:

- branding
- publications
- moving image
- web design

Over this last year in uni I want to carry on experimenting within design, therefore learning as much as I can. I also want to focus on learning all the programs to then be confident walking into a job. A job is also what I will be looking into throughout the year along with more placements, and I would love to go back to M.

I would also like to enter competition and live briefs through the year, in aid of trying to get myself known.
