Sorry I’m late to the party!…

Apologies that I am a little late! (22 days!) I have been a little bit M.I.A lately… I feel like I haven’t written on this blog now for so long! Not going to lie, my uni work has taken a massive back seat since Christmas 😦 Completely unintentional, In fact I am going to have to massively backtrack and catch up with where I left off just over a month ago! Still!… I needed the break! Although in all fairness I am not sure it has fully been a break :s I have worked non stop at my “double life” and my personal life has been up and down more than the Nemesis at Alton Towers! :s (*dating in 2019…..well, let me tell ya I was sooo over it!)

Anyway! I’m backkkkkk! 😀

I have also stuck to my “a poster a day challenge” which at first the concept and thought of absolutely scared the crap out of me! I am on day 22 today and so far I feel like I have hugely benefited from it!

The posters are far from perfect but I feel now I am confident with spending an hour a day (that’s all!) coming up with the idea and producing them. My perfectionism I feel has turned down a notch. I am getting used to producing designs that I might not love but that I am happy to showcase to the world on my Insta! I have also uploaded them all onto this blog also! I am trying out different techniques, media, ideas and layouts with them.

I refer back to my personal life being up and down which actually in a funny strange kinda way massively helped my creative process! 😀 I even make a joke about how I am the Taylor Swift of Graphic Design; she writes songs about bad men and plays them on her guitar, I simply design a naff poster about them! (lets call it – “Doing a Taylor Swift!”) :p

Creative genius! In the words of Kurt Cobain – “Thanks for the tragedy I needed it for my art!” Vent the anger and frustrations into something a little remotely positive!

For some reason I am at my creative best when I have fuel ready to fire up!

Anyway, please have a look at my poster art and see what you think!… any suggestions and ideas for future posters are appreciated! I feel like I have “poster plateaued” as of late… I have really struggled with ideas as I have gone about my normal, everyday, mediocre working life!…

Here is to 2020! – A new start, a new decade, better designs.. and hopefully a better dating life! (*I have a lunch date Saturday so hopefully I won’t need to do a “Taylor Swift” for this one! :p)
