Just thought I'd upload a few designs I created for KWG last week. The first design is the new company logo that we've just started using. This is only a quick idea that is still to be developed further when I have more time. The second image is the flyer I've just designed and had 2500 A6 copies printed of, for our next event in a few weeks time. I also did all the promotional writing for the facebook groups and online promo etc, all of which can be seen by following the links.

What has my creativity been for the last few years?

1. Who for?

Myself, Sixth Form, Art Foundation, University, KWG

2. Why have I done it this way?

The way projects are done tend to be how I want them to be done. I tend to have very little motivation to work towards somebody elses briefs, but have massive motivation to be creative when i can just express my ideas in any form I like. Even with projects in which I've had to work to a brief, I've pushed the boundaries to allow me to do things how I want them whilst still sticking within the brief. I find it very difficult to work to someone elses needs.

3.What do I want the future of my creativity to be.

I would like to continue to do what I want to do and follow my own route of creativity, making my own decisions along the way. I know this will be tough financially, but I know myself better than anyone and if I don't want to do something I simply wont do it, and I therefore feel this is the route I need to take. I'm trying as best as possible to make as many connections as I can and form myself a route into events management, as I feel my creative skills can be combined with my business and management skills to achieve my dream job of setting up my own business. If this didn't turn out to be successful I guess I'd just have to go freelance.

In what specific ways can research help me get to new places?

1.Which research starting point do I feel most drawn to?

If I'm honest I don't like research. I understand the concept of it and can see how it can make a product more successful, but it isn't how I work and I don't feel particularly drawn to it. I like my designs to be created entirely through my own ideas and inspiration. I know most people will frown upon this, but have look at Apple - they don't do market research either and look at their success. I do however use technical research such as anthropometrical data, manufacturing methods etc. along with existing product analysis.

Practioner Development Activity

I’m run a dubstep night called KWG. As a promoter my role includes hosting music events and bringing dubstep artists to Nottingham on a regular basis. Creative activity is present during most elements of organising a music event, right from listening to and continuously searching for new music and artists; designing flyers, posters and other promotional material; and setting up different types of professional sound and lighting equipment. My involvment with KWG also includes continuous work on other projects including music production, DJ’ing, acting, film production and various design projects from web to clothing.
