Stress



I feel like final year is getting very stressful and highly competitive, I guess its a realistic representation of how the industry is but at the same time its making me feel very unsure about where I am and where I should be going. I am starting to doubt my abilities as a designer and almost feel like I am at tipping point. Today I wanted to sit and draw but the list as long as my arm made me feel I couldn't spare the time, however I ended up sitting and drawing Scrooge and Marleys house, I am not the best illustrator but I enjoy it and Iv started to see that maybe these smaller more enjoyable projects are just as important. I would rather spend my life doing work I love enjoy then trying to please everyone and get the best grades, Life is a balance of work and play and doing what makes you happy alongside what you need to do. I hope that I can tip he right way now and use all this feeling to push myself to do the best I can.

My work - here i was simply playing with type - et and & ....

A few little things that I have come accross in my research in the last few days....

Back to Basics






We have just been set a really interesting new project where I am working with two illustrators to create album art work, Im so excited especially to go back to basics and get away from my mac! Tomorrow we are playing with light with a projector I cant wait! Iv also begun drawing again and although im not great it feels great.

The Bank of England



I have been given to permission from the bank of england to make a £10 out of silver as part of my subvert the familiar project. I am looking at value and how money is simply a promise, the paper is only worth a few pence, yet our belief in it makes it worth far more. I want to create a £10 note from silver a precious metal (which the bank used to use as a representative of moneys worth) I hope this makes people question what they value as it will differ for each of us.

Georgia Davies


















































My sister has also decided to pursue graphic design and I am so excited for her and from what she has already done Im really proud, she will be amazing especially to me.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN







I can remember exactly what I was doing this time last year and the people i was around and i miss them a lot and i dont mind saying that although we shouldnt live in the past looking back occasionaly give us a warm glow inside.
Halloween this year was brilliant too, involving a dinosaur costume, much dancing a live samba band, broken glow sticks and many great friends :)
