Books I have been reading


When I was given my live project I started reading some books. The Production Manual, is a book given during my first year. The other two books are ones I bought after doing some research. I also read another book briefly called 'Layout Essentials' by Beth Tondreau.

All of these books have all contributed to be developing both professionally and personally. I now have a better understanding of effective and healthy design habits by reading ';Know your onions'. A better understanding of print production, colour process and paper sustainability from reading 'The production manual' and, I have been inspired to learn ore about web-design by reading 'the book of ideas'. I have also learnt the importance of grids and guides from reading 'Layout essentials'. I have also found a new love for reading ad studying on my own. This is the first time I have enjoyed reading a book in my own time, and I can honestly say,I have learnt a lot from this. I would recommend any of these books, especial Know your Onions to anyone.

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this  completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date.  There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Campaign Presentation

The week of submission is such a blur. After rushing about trying to hit a deadline that was sooner than originally told, I was also struck with a sickness bug making it hard for me to function and concentrate. The work was supposed to be due on Wednesday 10th January however, the paperwork said it was due Monday 8th. Even though I was struggling to keep anything down, I still managed to go into university to presentation my presentation (Friday 12th January) of the work I have produced. After all of the struggle, I'm proud of myself. My presentation went well, I received verbal positive feedback from Paul which makes me feel like I will achieve a strong grade of 2-1 or a first. Hopefully, it will be a first as I am aiming to achieve all first for semester 1.
