23rd January 2018 Today Anthony Burrill came to visit Coventry University to do a talk and Q&A.  The talk he did was just as inspirational as the one he did in the Manchester Disrupt trip. Before Anthony started his talk, I had a little chat with him and also managed to get my book signed. After his talk, I got a picture with him! This is something I will treasure for along time. Later on that day, it was time for a Q&A, I decide that I wanted to show him the typeface I have be creating. It is the typeface I am most likely going to use for my personal branding. He gave lovely positive feedback, and also said 'it is a strong design'. This was honestly an amazing feeling. I have attached images from the day. Signing my copy of his book  Looking and talking about my typeface I posted an image of myself and Anthony Burrill together onto instagram design account to my story. This was his response to it.

This project really pushed me being my comfort zone, I ended up changing my short cut story 3 times until I final found the one I felt I could reflect the most. The BBC shortcuts I decided to select (for the third time lucky) was called Role Models. The particular part I wanted to reflect was short. The quote was: "You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There's this idea that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. And what I've always thought isn't that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. It's that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves... Part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it." - Junot Diaz I made this section into a visual representation using glue, a mirror
