Rationale (200 words)

'Conceptual, illustrative and layout driven promotional and publication design combining type with/as image for print'

I want to: 01. Develop a design practice geared toward print process and print based media. 02. Engage with screen-printing, publishing, layout and branding. 03. Approach each brief conceptually and enjoy the process through selecting subject matter that interests me. 04. Collaborate with other designers on the course and potentially individuals within the industry. 05. After this year work in an agency (LDN or LDS) where I can develop freelance work alongside a job. 06. Incorporate an element of illustration into my practice, although type will be the main focus. 07. Have a structured and more efficient routine. Statement of Intent (200 words) In order to fulfil my rationale I will: 01. Utilise print based workshops and resources, both software based and manual based. 02. Work on at least one collaboration this module as a core brief. 03. Develop a strong relationship with design agencies, network and make contacts. 04. Attend talks and liaise with visiting professionals. 05. Work on briefs that will allow me to produce work that will enhance my portfolio. 06. Research into suitable areas of design and shortlist agencies that interest me/produce work that I aspire to.
