1. Over
the
years
my
desire
to
create
has
increased
and
my
fascination
with
art
and
design
has
grown.
This
interest
has
graduated
into
working
with
different
mediums,
from
Calligraphy
to
Advertising
Design
and
street
art.
I
used
to
find
it
difficult
in
school
to
start
a
piece
of
work
without
doing
an
elaborate
typographic
title
page
first,
now
I
am
excited
to
apply
this
to
live
briefs
and
projects
where
I
can
express
my
originality.
I
take
inspiration
from
a
range
of
sources
including
cultural
influences
like
hip
hop
and
skating
style
and
designs
but
I
appreciate
and
understand
the
traditional
established
Type
faces
and
design
styles.
I
always
approached
situations
and
problems
with
creativity
and
enjoy
doing
things
unconventionally.
I
have
been
studying
a
Media
Diploma
and
this
course
has
boosted
my
artistic,
creative
and
technical
skills,
I
have
used
a
range
of
mediums
and
software
which
I
believe
has
helped
me
develop
a
well-­‐rounded
skill
set.
Most
of
my
artistic
output
is
done
in
my
spare
time,
in
which
I
enjoy
sketching
drawing
and
painting.
Through
this
I
have
developed
a
specific
style
and
technique
and
I
have
found
that
typographic
design
is
where
my
main
interest
lies.
Though
college
projects
I
have
boosted
my
confidence
and
have
achieved
high
standards
in
leadership,
an
aspect
I
previously
thought
to
need
improvement.
So
I
set
it
my
goal
when
appointed
team
leader
in
a
group
to
grasp
the
opportunity
and
am
proud
of
the
progress
I
have
made
In
this
area.
I
have
been
to
lectures
and
open
days
based
around
graphic
design
and
art
and
design
and
they
have
really
inspired
me
and
fuelled
my
desire
to
produce
more
work
and
pushed
me
in
directions
I
was
previously
not
aware,
therefor
I
am
approaching
graphic
design
with
a
new
found
sense
of
anticipation
and
eagerness
to
broaden
my
knowledge.
I
have
also
visited
a
lot
of
local
galleries
and
recently
found
things
that
have
really
motivated
me
and
reaffirmed
in
my
mind
that
this
is
what
I
really
want
to
do.
This
included
visiting
the
'Art
In
Your
Mouth'
event
in
Norwich.
I
found
the
typography
and
mixed
media
really
reinforced
my
desire
to
create
and
achieve.
The
other
subject
I
have
been
studying
is
English
Literature
and
this
course
has
opened
my
eyes
to
other
sides
of
graphic
designs
and
I
have
become
very
interested
in
book
binding
and
publishing
design.
This
is
something
I
hope
to
become
more
involved
in.
Studying
English
has
allowed
me
do
develop
my
knowledge
in
how
to
put
an
emphasis
on
audience
perception
and
I
have
learnt
techniques
for
engaging
and
interesting
audiences
and
believe
this
to
be
a
crucial
part
of
effective
Graphic
Design.
Some
of
my
interests
include
cycling,
which
I
like
to
set
myself
a
target
of
visiting
places
I
haven’t
been
before
I
enjoy
the
challenge
and
the
sense
of
accomplishment
I
get
from
this.
I
have
also
intertwined
Photography
within
this,
I
am
interested
in
architectural
photography
as
well
as
street
art
photography
which
gives
me
the
extra
incentive
for
traveling.
I
enjoy
visiting
places
around
the
UK
and
abroad
with
friends
but
also
by
myself.
Through
this
I
think
I
have
achieved
invaluable
experience
of
independence,
organisation
and
resourcefulness.
I
do
believe
that
the
key
to
success
in
a
creative
field
is
allowing
horizons
to
be
broadened
and
having
an
open
mind,
which
allows
inspiration
and
creativity
to
flow.
I
feel
that
I
thrive
in
creative
circles
and
enjoy
immersing

2. myself
in
friendship
groups
of
artists
and
creative
people
because
I
believe
inspiration
and
productivity
come
from
working
as
a
team.
I
have
previously
visited
the
University
on
an
open
day
and
it
infused
and
inspired
me
but
also
assured
me
that
this
course
is
what
I
want
to
do
and
I
believe
that
it
is
what
I
can
excel
in.
I
feel
I
have
gained
valuable
experience
not
only
through
college
study
but
also
from
experiences
outside
of
college
and
believe
I
have
the
potential
to
do
something
great.
