OUGD602 / PPP / Personal Project/ Instagram

Last year I did an Instagram project with Matt Fraser called Designbytwo which allowed me to work with another student to create a poster project that helped Improve our skills and push our creativity in Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Illustrator etc.

This year I wanted to push my own identity and brand but still creating the same type of outcomes.

Whats the point?
My goal from day one has always been to create something random, To occupy a blank space in a document with some sort of creative idea before I go to sleep. If I haven't produced a design or outcome I feel like I haven't improved my skills that day it's a dissatisfaction feeling! self-improving is something I'm really passionate about and over the last year, my work has significantly improved due to creating some type of art before I go to sleep. 

Personal Projects have allowed me to push my name on social media to a point where I now have an audience that follows my work. This has allowed my brand identity to be a lot stronger but also has helped with gaining contacts with people across the globe.

OUGD602 / PPP / Networking / Making Contacts

Chris Edwards

I decided to get in contact with another student who has quite a high profile as well on Behance which will help me grow as designer on the platform but also working with someone from another university is also very exciting news.
