My favorite graphic design company has been
123Klan since I was about 16 and have admired there work ever since. As I have
matured as a designer myself I have moved away from the style of this firm. I still
appreciate their design and I still feel they are one of the best but I know I
wouldn’t be able to work in their institution comfortably. There work is very
illustrative and has a huge graffiti influence. When I was younger this would
have been my ideal job but it been based in France isn’t the main issue it’s
the contrasting styles.
My strengths are a good knowledge of both
software and printing techniques. My main skill would be ideas based I am very
capable of thinking outside of the box and producing my ideas quickly and
effectively.
My weakness is becoming obsessed with
single projects. When I really enjoy a brief my other work generally takes a
back seat until I complete the most enjoyable brief. Taking a positive out of
that I suppose the better brief get done to a nice and high standard.
Opportunities I have experienced creating
logos for a few companies since I was in GCSE so I have produced about 6 now. I
have won a logo competition for a £100 cash prize 2 years ago. Currently I am
producing promotional work for some DJ’s making logos, posters and flyers on a
regular basis.
My current education at Leeds college
prepares me much more for the working world compared to most universities so that
sets me ahead of the majority. I feel I would be a great asset to a design
agency as I work well in a team and also independently. I like to think I am
forward thinking and cleaver in the way I execute my work.
