1. I am a driven person, once i get the idea of something or know that i want to do something, i will do it straight away and not stop until i have finished it
2. I am impatient, walking around leeds i find myself always walking around people who walk slow, i hate waiting in queues and if i know I'm going to get something i want it straight away.
3. I am organised, quite a lot actually. I like to make lists and make sure that i know what has to be done. With all the work we've had so far, i have found doing this has kept me up to date with everything, which is a good thing!
4. Graphic design is now part of my life, i pretty much live it, there isn't a part of the day when i don't think about something I'm designing or come up with an idea for a design.
5. I can cook! i have lasted so far cooking for myself and not got food poisoning or anything
6. I like visual things, i have found that i haven't really taken to reading books with seems and seems of pages, id much rather look through a magazine or just at images online.
7. I love publication design!
8. How to manage my money, having my loan and making it last the full time and not getting into debt. I have found that i have to substitute some things for others. e.g id much rather spend more money on decent food than having a night out!
9. I am a perfectionist, with pretty much anything that i do. I like everything to be exact and everything to be in order.
10. I get distracted really easily.
10 things I've learnt about myself as a designer:
1. I take to things really easily, new software, new techniques etc, i have learnt a lot of these since starting the course and i feel confident with everything.
2. I am a perfectionist with my work, especially when it comes to printing and cutting work, if something is slightly wrong i will re-print it or if the print comes out wrong - re-print too.
3. I love type and image working together.
4. I have a love for publication design, at the minute it is my favourite thing and something i want to look at more and specialise in.
5. I've started to do a lot more illustrative work.
6. Idea generation isn't my best quality, i like to run with one idea when I've come up with something, but i have proven to myself that taking more time over this area will result in a better finished product.
7. Working with others is good and i enjoy it, you can produce some interesting designs with all the different ideas from everyone.
8. I need to improve my drawing skills.
9. I have started to look at a lot more designers and general design work in my spare time.
10. I live graphic design and everything for uni.
