Studio Brief 1 - Poster planning

The deliverable for Studio Brief 1 is an A2 research poster to identify and summarise:

- 2 key things you have learnt
- 2 key things that have really engaged you
- aims and ambitions for level 5 (and beyond...)
- 2 key things that you have not enjoyed

Over the past few months, I have visited lots of galleries and noted my inspirations within 
the Graphic field and also outside. I started by making a mind map for each of the bullet 
points of content that was needed for the poster.

LEARNT:
- weird work gets noticed - trends are boring
- "learn the rules and break them like an artist" - Pablo Picasso
- breaking the rules only works once you know them
- RGB does not print CMYK colours on printer
- book print slots in advance
- research = good concepts

ENGAGED:
- guest speakers are inspiring and make me feel motivated
- interim crits are useful to kickstart idea generation
- book binding workshop was informative and enjoyable

AMBITIONS:
- to do more photography
- to travel to more places
- to enter more competitions
- to have an internship or work experience
- go to more artist talks and local exhibitions

NOT ENJOYED:
- making sketchbooks for every project, I think it suits certain ones more than others
- blogging everything takes a lot of time
- all nighters are not very fun
- the amount of coffee I have to buy to feel human and stay awake is very costly
