I decided, for the submission of this module, to keep my proposed business cards simple. Earlier in the project I suggested making cards in the shape of vinyl sleeves with my promotional pack being in a CD case; though I still like this idea I know at this point I don't have the type of work I would want to display in that setting made yet. After a lot of thinking I know going into the next year I want to loosen up with my image making and stop striving for perfection. Though I am passionate and I believe in completing things to the best of my ability, I'm also aware that this year I have undertaken a lot of projects that don't necessarily fit the way of working I enjoy, and upon reflection that's something I want to change.
My skills in visual language, application and making my work presentable have increased a lot this year, and the projects I have finished I would like to think I've done so with a professional mindset. However a lot of the work I've completed recently has required a digital process, and though this is a necessity with most contemporary illustration work today, it is something I would like a break from.
A lot of my personal interests lie in things primarily made a bit DIY. There's something in them that feels authentic and human; something I truly admire.
Moving into third year this is something I would like to emulate. Bringing my new found abilities at application and finishing pieces with the raw DIY edge that I find I have a lot in my personal work. My main ambition for third year is to be brave.
