The work I have submitted is a selection of my most successful pieces that have a significant effect on my current working style that I have today. What makes me tick as a Graphic designer is the freedom of my personal expressions without being pigeon holed or restricted. I applied for this course to help myself mature as a graphic designer and to prepare myself for a successful career in the future. A majority of my graphic pieces translate my thoughts and my opinions of the world around me. For example my Hand Gun piece is my personal response to the gun crime and violence among my generation and a response to how it is portrayed. The smoke coming from the barrel takes the shape resembling of human bones connotes death. This image follows a saying that my dad told me that any weapon can only be as dangerous as the mind-set of those that hold them, which sums up this piece perfectly.
As a graphic designer I consider myself as a bit of a perfectionist in the way that I work. I like to make sure that I can get the best out of my pieces and present them in the greatest way possible. I believe that you get out what you put in when it comes to creating my pieces. The more effort and determination that is put into the pieces of work the better they become. My best examples of my devotion to my work are shown in my diorama piece for GTA: Bradford City Stories. This piece was built for as cheaply as possible by using common materials that I had lying around and experimentation to create a sense of realism from these materials in the finished piece. I managed to blur the line between realism and fantasy by using different techniques to present the diorama.
