Taking my business card ive begun applying it to letterheads and eventually, website, compliment slips etc
Prefer having the logo on the back of the card rather than under the type. I feel both sides are separate designs and deserve their own space.



Designing a logo to represent myself and these are the current outcomes. The two directly above are based on the type which im using for the front, slick looking and geometric. However the two at the top i think are more interesting as these directly look at geometric shapes which a lot of the typefaces ive created this year do. It also has a interesting contrast with the type as they oppose each other in weight.
Using Geosans light I've created the front of my business card. keeping everything aligned to the right and left has given focus to the type as we are drawn into it. I think it also reflects how a lot of my practice revolves around type and layout.
Thinking about business cards and the typeface i want to use that basically needs to represent me. For a start it needs to be sans serif, modern, fresh, making me look current. Looking at the above i like the fourth one down, a light weight, organic look to it which is simple and to the point, which i think represents a lot of my work








Above are a selection of the products i have worked on with students at my placement at Prince Henry's. The School offers pupils from GCSE onwards the opportunity to be creative over their designs and consider the materials they use. As we can see above they do this well and push their designs and experiment with materials. The material side has been as useful to me as the pupils, allowing me to understand the properties and usages of materials.

Above is a questionaire asking about my subject knowledge which needs completing for the interview.


Fantastic news, i have a second interview. This interview is going to be HAARRRD. Formal interview, observed in a lesson, take a object for a stimulating start of a lesson...
For the object im going to take the brief i've done for wood joints as this will demonstrate that i'm taking the placement into my own practice.

The work that im doing in my practice feeds directly into my PPD and work placement. Having gone through a wood joint project with year 9's i've taken this knowledge and produced a brief which shows how to produce different kinds of joints.
