For this brief we had to ‘Produce a graphic response/ graphic product /piece of work that makes a statement, comment, observation or gives advice about your experience on your first year of this course.’
When I first read this brief I thought back to the start of the year when the second years showed us what they had done for theirs and being impressed by how simple some of them were but how good they looked. I wanted to achieve this with my piece of work.
I then thought about what I didn’t know at the start of the year, at first I was thinking Graphic Design becauseit turns out I knew very little, but then I thought I don’t want to try and teach them anything because they’ll learn it anyway. So then I thought about what I didn’t know to do with Leeds and the university itself. I came up with a list of ideas and possible pieces of work I could do to help the new students.
I wanted to pick one that would not only help them, but also mean something to me in a way because it will round up the year well. That’s why I chose to do a booklet of some sort, because at the start of the year I had no idea I would enjoy any sort of editorial design but now I find it incredibly fun.
My aim with this piece of work was to create something that would help multiple students instead of just one. So I needed to find something that none of them would know.
