It’s going to test my weaknesses without a doubt – Taking criticism, the competition, leaving ‘personal preference’ at the door, the rejection….The fear! For me these examples are even more reason to use my experience on this course to address these areas, build confidence, and move forward on a personal level, as well as develop the skills needed to form a successful career in graphic design. When you get down to the foundations of graphic design, you realise how challenging the industry is. The limits to Graphic Design are truly endless. There I formed a better understanding of what graphic design was and realised it was something I could incorporate in to my own hobbies such as photography and music production, and potentially form a career out of it. I developed a more obvious attraction to Graphic Design when I worked for media company ‘Newsquest’ where I sold advertising space in their Glossy lifestyle magazines to companies across Yorkshire. Without any direction, I’ve fallen in to a routine of taking on a job because I can, rather than because it’s my passion and it gives me satisfaction in life. You name it!Īlthough I had great opportunities as a child, I never had the consistency or structure in my life to succeed. All with a history of photography, dancing, some form of design, music production, singing/songwriting, fashion. The most influential people are my Mum, my Dad (despite his absence), my Mum’s friends growing up, and friends I have come to know in my teenage / adult life. Why Graphic Design? I’ve always been surrounded by creative people. I’m not a fan of cleaning, sloths are weird, and the smell of malt should be illegal. Although Ugg boots do not fall under that same realm of acceptance unfortunately (Sorry). Racism, fascism, bullies, anything that goes against equality quite frankly. My dislikes? Well, Donald Trump for a start. I like cats, the outdoors, documentaries, abandoned buildings, mountains, tattoos, and Vietnamese food. My hobbies consist of photography, music production, hiking/climbing, and cooking. I have a passion for music, although my choice of music probably isn’t to everyone’s taste. What inspires me? I’m inspired by all things visual, nature, photography, GOOD films and fashion. From the outside my life probably seems pretty average, I can assure you it is far from that, but i’ll spare you the gorey details. I come from a varied sales background – Advertisements, Stationary, IT/Hardware support. I come across pretty confident but inside i’m a sensitive little soul. Make-up to the nines but i’d rather pick my nose, honestly. A small Yorkshire lass with a loud voice. What Mother does this? So you can call me Jade for short, or Wylie – Take your pick.
