Thinking

When I started the third term workshops I didn’t have any idea of what I was going to do for my Major project, but only after the end of all workshops I started to thinking of what I really like about London.

London has so many opportunities and various choices: museums, pubs, theaters but “the green” is what I like most it is something that reminds my place where I come from.

So I started to explore the green side of London, to collect things you can find in there, analyze them and then things went so easy. I 'm really enjoying this book because there isn’t any client so what I 'm doing it is to express myself of what I see, I feel and learn, It is fun, no stress at all.

What I liked mostly about the workshops it was using different materials, I love learning of new techniques, like cardboard boxes, Lego pieces, pictures, souvenir, using pen and scissors to create typefaces… we also had the possibilities to work in groups, thing really important for me, not only because we always learn something from each other, shares ideas but it’s a kind of practice for a future job where we’ll have to work with different people, so multiple ideas to get the final one.

I wished I could attend all the workshops because there were all interesting and creative and on each of them I learned something, but there were certain areas that I enjoyed most than others, which are the areas I’ll to take forward.

It is more challenge for me to create something from a piece of paper, crafty art (3d cardboard, vernacular, London character workshop) rather then using software (French fold, contrast workshop). What I thought before my first year in LCC Graphic Designer was a person with good skills in software and photography but it’s not what it is really important is observe, collect, analyze, compare and notice what is around us.
