23/10/13 Hand In

Today was hand in day for 2 of my written assignments. The first was an essay which was based on an artist or movement that has had a significant impact on my area of specialism of Graphic Design. At first I was going to write about a specific movement associated with Graphic Design but as I did my research and spoke to others I realized that for me it was easier to write about a designer rather than a movement. I looked at many influential designers such as Stephan Sagmeister, Jessica Walsh and Saul Bass. I chose to write about Saul Bass as the more I researched him I noticed he had a huge impact on Graphic Design and there was lots of content I could write about.

I also had to hand in my project proposal that I have been writing, I only had to hand in the written proposal, the practical part for this assignment will be completed after half term and handed on before breaking up for Christmas. For the proposal I researched an identified progression routes including universities, jobs and top up years, from this i could identify my strengths, weaknesses and work out what skills I will need to progress along my chosen route. From this I was required to create a project proposal for a project which will help me gain, improve these skills for my chosen progression route whether it be a job or final year at university.
