independent practise

3 layer prints, which stands out because

of its complexity, originally brought to-

gether different pieces of images.

Explored different background

colours and paper textures paying

attention how it effects ink.

Print edited with Adobe Photoshop

helps to reveal its varying potentials.

The experience in book binding

workshop became an important

tool in realising my work.

Sketches for a concertina book

with included type.

In the ! nal approach i decided to choose

an image instead of type. The book looks

more illustrative and attracts attention

with its complex details.

The independent practise time was essential in different ways. Comparing my briefs’ development and vary workshops’ practise I managed to create a set of tools for my further work.

Firstly, working with software I had not encountered before made me face failure and try all over again to reach a better result. Like someone said: “Fail better!” Also, I tried to leave behind the technics and methods that were already known to me and learn again. It broadened my graphic design knowledge and encouraged to look for new strategies. Moreover, I was very happy to be involved in various experimentation which was offered in workshops. All I did was tried to take everything from them. I believe that it is essential to know where you can take your idea. As well as learning new methods and experiencing new things I understood the importance of not being afraid of playfulness and pure experimentations.

To sum up, when I combine both the new experience and tools I encountered here with the previous practise I feel much more con! dence in myself and my work then I would be without these opportunities.
