I have recently completed the

third year of my BA degree at

Plymouth College of Art. I have

been studying graphic design for

over five years, and have already

gained a triple distinction

National Diploma in Graphic Design

& Illustration.

My aim is to provide fresh and

simple work in three specialist

areas; identities, stationery and

websites.

I intend to achieve a youthful yet

classic outlook, with a diverse

range of work. I am able to

acknowledge the individual needs

of every client, and reflect a

memorable identity for the brand.

I’m a 24 year old design fanatic

living and breathing my craft.

When I’m not designing for the

biggest names in the music

industry I’m working out new

ways of breaking the mould

and improving my skills. I am

a published Photoshop expert

with extensive knowledge of

the software. I am also a keen

illustrator and typographer and

love to do everything by hand

before tweaking it to perfection

on the computer.

After graduation I want to

freelance by night and work in

a studio by day so that I am

gaining influence from multiple

sources and expanding my design

vocabulary.

Challenging my creative capacity

with every brief is where I

achieve my aspirations.

Before studying at Plymouth

College of Art I had studied

within fine art, photography and

fashion design. I always try to

bring all the different elements

and media from these subjects into

my graphics work to achieve the

most original work possible.

Throughout my study on BA Hons

Graphic Design programme, I have

found my strengths within motion,

editorial and print design, and

wish to develop these skills

further within the industry after

completion of my degree.

Colour and Light are key elements

which fuel my aspirations within

design. Creating something

visually stimulating yet uniformed

and balanced is my constant goal.

These aspects really shape how

something is viewed. Photography

is another key skill I constantly

explore and play with. Studying

Surface design and Graphic design

throughout my degree has created

a varied and fast paced learning

journey. Using my knowledge from

these two different specialist

areas has led to exploring the

Adobe programs in depth. These

pro-active and progressive

qualities I attain will hopefully

nourish and assist my journey into

the industry.

I am passionate about what I do,

reliable and motivated to be able

to create a high quality design

solution for any brief. Over

the past three years I have been

building my skills, developing

my knowledge of a wide range of

Adobe programmes, in addition to

screen printing, photography and

installation work. I specialise

in hand drawn typography and

illustrative techniques and

have been concentrating on

these areas throughout my BA

year. After I graduate I hope

to work for a design studio or

company; taking on a wide range

of creative challenges to stretch

my capabilities and expand my

existing portfolio and skills.

[CURT POSTILL]

-

Throughout my education I have

developed a mix of skills. From

being an illustrator to motion

designer, to graphic designer and

finally to 3d visual artist. I am

keen to learn new skills all the

time and to develop the skills I

have.

My main focus within my work is

using programs such as 3ds max to

create a 3d environment which is

developed into an almost photo

realistic image.

My aspiration is now to develop

my skills within the world of

3d, advancing in the building

of scenes and to develop skills

within animation.

I’m Ross Penrose and I come from a

small village on the south coast

of Cornwall.

Hand rendered typography has been

one of the main areas of design

that I’ve worked in through out

my 3 years at Plymouth College of

Art but in the 3rd year I decided

to try something different in the

form of 3D model design. My major

project focused around Channel 4’s

series Inside Natures Giants, I

designed and made to scale, slot

models for three of the featured

animals, as well as, a hard back

illustrated book to accompany the

animal. This is all cleanly put

together in an educational pack.

[SIMON HOWE]

-

Hello, through my studies and

personal development over the

last few years I have begun to

gain the knowledge of what makes

a successful web presence and

how users interact with media

devices. This has helped me in

designing well-planned websites,

not just in layout but also with

user movement. I have a wide

range of design skills but I am

now concentrating on expanding my

skills in web design, mobile web

design and interactive publishing,

but with a keen eye on overall

branding.

I am looking at a career in

interactive design for new media,

specializing in mobile web and app

design.

[SARAH WALLIS]

-

The work I create within design

involves the combination of hand-

drawn and mixed media practices

through the use of typography and

image. I like to experiment with

these techniques in contrast to

the style of modern simplicity.

Many aspects of my life have

inspired and encouraged me to

work within these ways, another

contributors would be my previous

knowledge within the practices

of Fine art and Textile design.

I am constantly influenced by

many aspects of everyday life

such as boutiques, quirky shops,

fashion trends, food, lifestyle,

paper designs and animals. I

have a range of skill sets such

as product and packaging design,

branding, publishing, print,

typography and web design.
