My trip to New York, the things that I saw and did made me realise something...which i'm now taking as a positive.
For a while I had a negative attitude towards graphic design etc...and thought, heyyyy i'll just set up a cleaning business or something lol.
No. No I do not think that anymore...phew!
But! I need to make it, so that I enjoy what I'm doing.
I started writing a list of people I was going to email over summer, designers and also companies that I would potentially like to work for. When I got a few people on this list...I started to put together a .pdf that I could send out.
Specifically when it came to the companies I aspire to do work for...I was looking at the work I have produced and thought 'Well, I barely have anything that I feel happy with thats appropriate to send to them?'
The whole point of me doing this degree is so that I can have a job that I Love in the future
SO! My plan...I need to draw more.
I need to draw things I want to draw, to an extent developing my own style but also so I can have more things to show, more than just college briefs.
I need my work to reflect me more, rather than saying 'This is what I've done but I'm gonna work differently in the future.'
I want to be an illustrator.
I want to illustrate words...
I love words!
I want to draw people.
Make people laugh.
I want to enjoy what I'm doing rather than 'do it to get a degree'.
I want to be good at it.
Rant over.
Poor birdy...
I saw this picture in the metro and I decided to draw it...I don't have a particular reason lol, I just liked it.
New York New York (So good, they named it twice)
So, the day after college officially finished for summer...I started it off in the perfect way, my 21st birthday trip to NYC.It was amazing!
However, I'm back now. In England.
I mentioned a while ago in PPD that I was trying to contact Mike Perry because he had a studio in Brooklyn, unfortunately he never replied and I admit, I didn't pester him as much as I could.
Below is a flickr slideshow of some of my photos...it doesn't look like flickr slideshows are that good, but they're there.
