As this is an old competition and there are already existing designs for this brief, I would like to take this brief and apply it to a different author so that I am not influenced by any existing designs. When D&AD release new competitions if there is a similar one I will use that instead as I'd rather work on live briefs... I want to get my name out there as much as possible.

Initial Ideas for briefs

Initial ideas for briefs to structure my year 3. I would like to continue working on retail briefs such as the Ted Baker -YCN project, I would prefer these to be live briefs as it would be beneficial for getting myself out there and also great experience to add to my CV. I would like to collaborate with a fashion designer and Photographer to create a Look Book / Catalogue with branding, web elements, clothes tags/ bags and other merch. I have already established one brief which is in progress of being written, this is with a professional photographer David Lindsay, I will be creating promotional pieces for him as well as a high end portfolio book to show clients and a book to show a recent project... this will be abit more creative as it has a running theme.

Skills Evaluation

I have started the summer by evaluating my design skills,  by clearly identifying my strengths, weaknesses and interests this will influence the briefs which I will source throughout the summer to form the basis of my final year of studies.
