Enterprise Task 4


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.
