Studio Brief 04 - Reflective Practice - Speaking From Experience

Studio Brief

Produce a graphic response / graphic product / piece of work that makes a statement, comment, observation or give advice about my experience on my first year of this course. I can work with any appropriate media or format, the content will be entertaining, advisory or informative.

Background / Considerations

To think about the new experiences that I have had, the difficulties that I have overcome and the new people I have met and the life skills I have acquired this year. To remember what it was like starting your first week, how did I feel and what emotions did you experience? Excitement, trepidation, fear or did I feel overwhelmed. I might have benefited from some advice, opinions and insight from others that have experienced the same transition. What might I say, do or give to next years graphic design students to make the transition into the student experience, particularly this course more welcoming? 

Mandatory Requirements

Deliverables

Interpretation of the brief

My first interpretation is that this brief is a personal and professional related brief that makes me reflective on the year, but I also believe my final resolution will be influenced by what path I want to focus more on in the second year.

Personal Aims

I'd like to pick a subject matter that effected me being a fresher but something I'm generally interested in, I think this will motivate me more for this brief.
