Graphic design is a constantly changing area; you can create an image digitally, by hand even working in the third dimension using 3-D printers, lazer cutting or sculpture and so on.
There's a shift into how me engage with design with variations of screen based layouts.
In theory PPP is:
The exploration of assumptions concerning personal learning investigative strategies, and the management of self learning through tasks and research.
Using effective strategies to facilitate personal and professional development through critical enquiry and problem solving.
Demonstrates and evaluates growth area (through your blog)
Anything that inspires you, things you watch, see and hear should be added to this blog and even more important those who inspire you you should contact, ask questions and develop your understanding.
Don't add countless images, but explain WHY you see this to be relevant to your interests.
Task to complete for next session:
1. Identify and explain 5 reasons why you chose to study Graphic Design at LCA?
2. The 5 things you want to learn on this course
3. 5 skills that you would identify as your strengths as of now
4. 5 things you want to improve on as a designer
5. 5 methods you can use to evaluate/ document your progress- consider social media, zines..
6. 5 things YOU would like an answer to
7. 5 things that inspire you
8. 10 examples of designs that illustrate and have meaning to you
A brand identity needs to be created for yourself in order for you to stand out from the crowd. In essence we are a product; consider:
product
range- range of services you offer
distribution- methods and platforms you consider correct to communicate your work
Printed and digital methods should be considered.
Task up until March
Prepare an identity/ brand for yourself, that will suit your current approach of work, consider all forms of range and distribution
A brand or identity can be ANYTHING you feel appropriate so don't restrict yourself.
WHO AM I, WHO DO YOU SEE?
Task- write what we perceive about other members of our group so each person can build up an idea of an identity, as seen through other people's eyes.

The Whitney Museum's 'Responsive W' by Experimental Jetset
The Whitney Museum's 'Responsive W' by Experimental Jetset
May 2013
For each poster curated by the Whitney Museum, we see the letterform 'W' constantly morphing and adapting itself to wrap around the rest of the poster's contents. This gave me inspiration as regardless of the content of the poster the W is always larger than all other typography and follows a grid pattern put in place in the negative space of the poster's contents.
The designers Experimental Jetset created this 'Responsive W' image to emphasise the ever changing nature of the museum itself, creating a new graphic identity. This will be ever changing and respond differently for every single poster giving each event even a slight separate identity.
Similarly to this; I'd like to create a logo for my brief that incorporates some form of grid system and is able to adapt itself however by not changing it every time to fit each background. Therefore by using a grid system I can ensure that with each background found on my website pages, the logo will remain visible and look aesthetically fitting. I therefore don't want to overcomplicate the logo, much like the Experimental Jetset's have achieved synchronicity with a very simplistic design, just using four drawn lines. Looking also at the Golden Ratio, I began to think that my logo should be in keeping with some kind of geometric pattern matching also with the font, a modern typeface thats sans serif and geometric.
