Review of As Graphics

A2 GRAPHICS

Review of AS work

Within my first year of graphics I preferred working on my ‘Bridges’ project. I felt by being given full creative control it was by far my most successful piece of work, and allowed me to use my own refined skills to peak in potential. Overall the digital aspects to my work are the best as they are where my talent lies, I still feel there is always room for improvement and by experimenting within illustrative software I will be able to gain knowledge in other effects.

I felt my ability to reflect on artists and show development were my biggest successes within both Unit 1 and Unit 2, as throughout all of work there are relevant links and annotations explaining the refinement of my compositions.

I would like to explore combining digital methods with lino printing and hand drawing, which are my weaker skills, I feel this may overall allow me to develop my ability with these mediums.

A key artist of interest so far in my work has been Adrian Bradbury, I find his use of textures and mixture of photography and digital painting very inspirational and reflective of my own techniques, I would also like to venture deeper into the source of his style and have a look at the various softwares he uses and discover where he originally got his style of work from.

I am considering Graphics as a HE course, with a keen interest in Visual Communications at university, Animation is also a further interest.
