Write a list of all the possible client groups that use graphic design in the development, production, distribution, promotion and/or communication of their products or services. Identify one client group that reflects your current ambitions within the graphic design area and focus on identifying:
Possible client groups include; businesses, retail and services, advertisers, publications-newspaper and magazines.
The area of graphic design I would most like to work in would be publications, advertising, promotions, brand identity.
The skills I possess are; the use of software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and a basic knowledge of After Effects and Quark Express, working with type and colour, photography and the manipulation of it within Photoshop, creating appropriate brand identities, crafting, an understanding of professional print processes, collaboration work.
I will need to develop skills in areas such as layout design, web design (as this is something I have never done), packaging design, I also would like speed up the pace of my design work.
My own professional and creative aims are to create a fantastic portfolio that I am proud of, to work for a variation of clients, so I am always learning new things and creating very different work, to develop my own style/identity so people will know it is my work when they see it.
