Task 1-who i am as a designer/who are my clients.

I am a graphic designer based in leeds northern england. I have a passion for music of all sorts and have gained contacts in the musical industry.

My main focus of work is in print but do feel there is a need to accompany print based work with digital media, I feel this is a area that i will have to look into and maybe collaborate with people on.

I tend to work with image and illustration. I also work with type and layout but in a way where the layout and type become image. I hope to create functional design that also has strong aesthetics. I also want to work in identify and branding and feel my image making skills would be use in logo design.

I would like to become a freelance designer after i have worked in house at a agency which will help me gain experience in the profession and will also help me gain contacts and clients.

So i have gathered that i am not someone who has many ethics or concerns about who i work for, I would be happy working for a large corporate company such as macdonalds or asda in a big world based design agency, but i would also be happy working for local small business's as a freelancer.

Examples of this would be people in the music industry (musician's, record labels, manager's),small clothing label's, independent clothing shop's, independent record shops etc.

This means that finding a demand for my skills will be hard as i have a broad view on employment, but with time i think i can produce high quality work that people will want and find useful.


Examples of Agency's and Designers who i take a interest in and the clients they work for are on my PPD blog which you can find here.
