personal presentation

I started the course after having spent a year without much of a creative outlet, I found myself a bit lost in it for a bit, the high intensity of the course last year forced me to produce and think more about why I'm doing things. 

Throughout the first year I found that I really enjoyed typography and informing people about social issues. I did one project on the fact that there isn’t a proper law that would prosecute a rapist in Norway. when we had the end of year conversations I figured out that I really enjoyed the projects that I felt like could make a difference or at least inform about obscure things.  I found the talk from Lucienne Roberts very interesting. In the second year, I have continued working with issues that I find interesting such as societal issues with hiding history and also alcohol consumption and much more. I still prefer when I can do type based things as I feel more competent with that than image at this point.  what I have learned this year is the production and following through with a project to the final finish.

What I want is to make small differences in order to improve peoples lives, I know it is farfetched but I feel like I'm critical enough to find some issues that could be improved upon. As a student and as a designer, I'm quite opinionated and people often come to me when they are stuck and don't know what is off about a design. whether they want to listen is up to them but at least they have got an honest opinion when they are stuck. I don't think I'm mean about it but if there is things that I would have changed I'll tell.  

Throughout PPP this year I have tried to contact so many studios and only three have answered, I have thought about my possibilities and I doubt that I would be able to stay in the UK after Brexit as I would need a company to sponsor me, I can therefore not be freelance in the UK as there wouldn't be a company there to sponsor me so that door is closed.  there is not a huge freelance marked in Norway so that might be tricky as is, therefore, I think ill have to go for a studio. I liked into bigger international ones and smaller ones and from what I found out id like try test both but I like the slightly more fluidity of a smaller studio, as you could have several things you could do, you wouldn't be stuck. 

In terms of next year id like to continue to explore social issues and figure out more about where I could go as I don't know whether id like to move back home yet.  I need to figure out an internship but then again I'd have to talk to more international opportunities I think. I saw this a letter a day challenge and id like to do a daily challenge thing over summer to keep producing so that it would be easier to start in the fall.
