All the work that I have uploaded has been either from college projects or personal project work. I have a wide range of work that I enjoy creating. Computer based, pencil and ink, wood work, metal work, posters and digital and film photography.
I love making art during my free time, along with playing the piano, working at Monsoon and going out to the cinema, shopping, visiting art galleries and watching sports with my friends. I can’t wait to get back into education after my gap year. I feel that I have matured so much from taking this year out. I have travelled, worked and learnt a lot. I feel more confident, both in myself and in my work. I have seen a massive leap from the standard of work that I am producing.
University feels like a natural next step in my life and when looking around the courses available, Manchester stood out as a course with a great reputation, fantastic facilities and staff. Manchester itself seems like an amazing place to be a student, shopping, galleries and nightlife. My friends that are already at Manchester studying all say that they are having a wonderful time.
I'm really excited by the course at Manchester Metropolitan University. The facilities I saw whilst at the Open Day were among the best that I had seen and I could really see myself fitting in there and getting stuck into work! The course covers everything that I am passionate about, and more. I like how wide and free the course is, as I like to use a variety of skills and techniques and therefore, this course is perfect! I am able to use computer software that I am eager to learn to use, print workshop, photography and just the good old pen, ink and paint!

I did a lot of experimentation during this project.

I learnt how to use the tools to fold and sew the pages together.
It is a skill that will be very useful in the future.
Narrative Image Making - Illustration
Project to create narrative image relating to a song.
I chose a song called 'Furr' which is about wolves and created the images initially in pen and pencil
and then used Photoshop to edit and add colour and effects.

Photography - 'A Sense of Place'
Photography project on the theme of 'A Sense of Place'
Using 35mm film, I photographed areas of Worcester Cathedral that I thought showed
the history and beauty of this place.
I really enjoyed this project and loved developing the 35mm film.

I experimented with typography, layout and design.
