Amsterdam


24th March - 28th March 2019

As part of one of my final modules of University, we went to Amsterdam for a project. Amsterdam is a city that is both progressive and historic. The city is bursting with exciting things to see including typography.  There are 17th century canals and trendy cannabis coffeeshops. Houses line the streets, with a neon glow from the Red Light District. Bicycles can be found everywhere, and the city’s history of beer is changing to accommodate craft brewers. Amsterdam is a compact city; however, the popular sights are spread throughout, making it difficult to organise an easy flowing trip. This is where we are tasked to create a type tour. I have gathered over 400 images. This means, my next tasks is to go through them all...

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.

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.
