This year is really exciting for me because I get to write briefs for myself and do the things that excite me most within graphic design. My main focus for this year I think will be on print and publication. I have learned over the past couple of years that I have a real passion for layout design, and I think that by now i'm getting pretty good at it (I hope). I also have really enjoyed the printing process, whether its green printing or my favourite, copper plate embossing. These are the skills that I want to improve on the year and hopefully I will become quite good at them and other people will recognise that.
This presentation is just to show the initial 8 briefs that I have written for myself, although I think that over the course of the year I will find other things that I want to do and hopefully meet people that inspire me to do more with my work.

What I am looking at.
This year I am getting very interested in a few studios that I wish to get in contact with.
Firstly there is cocreative based in Bristol. They designed one of my favourite magazines Cereal, and so this is really exciting for me. I would love to talk to them and perhaps visit them at some point to find out what it takes to become a master in layout design and create a really exciting and beautiful magazine. They have also created and published their own again called Bone-Shaker which is also very beautifully designed. This I think would be really interesting to find out how to actually publish your own work and distribute it well.

Another exciting design studio is Something Good studio also based in Bristol. At the moment they don't have a fully working website but the work they create is both beautiful and practical. The big bonus of this studio is that they have a shop! Which I think is completely amazing and its something that I have always wanted for myself.

One more studio based in Bristol is City Edition Studio. They are a mainly print based studio and they make gorgeous exhibition programmes for Spike Island which is a gallery in Bristol (of which I have many that I have collected over the years) My sister goes to the uni in Bristol and her studios are based in Spike Island so I have been following this studio for a couple of years. I think that their work is awesome and I would love to go and visit them and see what they think of what they do.
