The summer period was quite relaxing for me. I spent a lot of time with my friends and enhancing my Wii U skills. One of the biggest changes to my life this summer was that I now have a job! I work for Polly Vadasz in first year graphic design, who owns an online shop. We collaborated earlier in the year on a cactus phone case, and when we found out she was coming to LCA, we decided to team up permanently.
Since Polly lives in Surrey and I live in Lancashire, I worked remotely for a few months on some new designs and processing orders from the shop. We are now currently working on re-launching the shop, as it's been closed since the start of September to prepare us both for moving back to Leeds. We have our own studio located in Leeds, and are in the process of getting everything ready for when we open.
A more relaxing part of my summer was spending 4 days in Amesterdam with my boyfriend. Experiencing a new city and country is always exciting, and consciously looking for examples of type for my summer project was a really cool way of immersing myself in the graphic culture.
I also teamed up with Lo from this course and we are in the process of creating the third issue of our zine. We've tried to create a more professional aesthetic and approach to it this time, and we're hoping to get it stocked in Village Bookshop.
Overall this summer has been very relaxing and relatively stress-free. Although everything I've wrote here has examples of design, I've tried to take a break from it to get me ready for level 5.
