Critical Review Progress

Section 2 

Throughout the context of this document, I am outlining and analysing the influences and insights that have directed my design choices and have also given me guidance into the designer I am at this current point of my design journey. It involves exploring and examining my journey of self-discovery which has been heavily influenced by my surroundings throughout my childhood, and how they have made me see the creative world through my lenses. 

I want to understand what drives my design journey by taking a closer look at the three key aspects of my creative process being, the factors that have shaped me personally such as social challenges, specific creatives that are passionate about projects that are based on concepts that I'm inspired by, as well as communities that can strengthen my practice and have opportunity to grow. It's important to recognise that these various influences hold universal significance. My unique creativity offers a distinct viewpoint that may inspire others or have underlying connections.

Throughout the context of this document, I am outlining and analysing the influences and insights that have directed my design choices and have also given me guidance into the designer I am at this current point of my design journey. It involves exploring and examining my journey of self-discovery which has been heavily influenced by social change and helping others.

Section 3

In my creative journey, I draw inspiration from two primary influences: gymnastics and watercolour painting. These influences shape my core values and ideas, including the importance of authenticity, discipline, and the x use of colour and form in design. I naturally gravitate toward blending digital and traditional media, mirroring the grace of gymnastics and the subtlety of watercolour.

For research and idea generation, I rely on visual research, interviews, and collaboration. These methods help me uncover unique perspectives and themes that resonate with my experiences and interests.

As for the role and importance of design, I view it as a powerful tool for self-expression and advocacy. I'm particularly passionate about design's potential to address social and cultural issues, such as gender equality and sustainability. Design, to me, serves as a means to bridge gaps, foster awareness, and contribute to positive change in our ever-evolving world.

To be quite honest before this paper i had no clue what i wanted my practice to be or if i was really in teh right degree as i had found myself questioning alot about what i really enjoy in life. This paper has made me realise more about myself and who i am as a designer. I reaslied that alot of my designs always came back too social change and helping others which makes sense as in my childhood i had to deal with alot of challenges and hard situations that i wouldnt want anoyione else to go though, so if something i can design can just help that single individual my job is done. Coming to think of i in alot of these situations of having a absent parent, moving cities often and fainly members getting diagnosed with terminal illness,i always found myself naviating alot of this childhood trauma though creative expressions.

This technique of using creativinty as a coping mechanism is often used by artists when creating new songs so like them i did this by doing paintings and drawings when i was little. I always loved it and thought school noticed it became more of a passion and tallent rather than a comping mechanism. 

Currently at this stage of discovering myself as a designer i really enjoy doing moer illustaive based design with s slight mix of photography in there. However as much as i struggle with typography its something that id like to dive further into and see if i can find more of a passion in that area. 

My other outlet i always found myself around was animals .I grew up with a stong love for horses and dogs and as i did have both from a young age it became more of a escape to be around the  with no disctactions and having a clear head. 

A lot of my inspiration for my design i guess kinda comes from trying to escape and distract myself from a lot of  these underlying issues i grew up with. A lot of the pain i had to deal with made me find passion and love for these hobbies like horse riding and painting which now i can channel into my current projects to have that level of deeper meaning to connect more personally to my audience. I really want to empathise and connect with my audience of children and young adults to show that its okay to feel isolated sometimes but by finding your outlet and passion can help you come to terms with a lot of situations you may be put in. You cant change the past but you can change how you view it and apply it into your future.
