Theres nothing like a bit of Self promotion!

As a designer, I am aware that the industry is very fierce and you need to be able to stand out from others.

I have used wix to create a personal website that not only showcases some of my work but also allows employers to seek out the skills I posses.

Home page of my website

Designer profile page

Portfolio showing a range of different skills

contact page to allow others to contact myself

Within the website I have also added links to my twitter, lindekin profile, pinterest boards and this blog.

At the moment I have the website up and running and gradually over time I will add more and more images from both current and previous projects.

I am also designing my CV as this is also a vital tool for potential employers.

As self promotion is also key within the industry I am designing a business card with a twist! It is currently in the mock up stages and I am really pleased with the outcome so far. Keep your eyes peeled!!

Hitting the ground running!

Organising and holding dad's funeral has been a very heard yet emotional fulfilling time. From designing and printing the orders of service, to organising the wake / party afterwards. I loved every minute of it and so glad I have done it too.

A memory tree proved to be such a hit everyone, writing down their memories that they shared with dad and I also made a simple table covering of photographs of him. The effect was brilliant and the comments that I received of how thoughtful it was really helped with the process.

                                                   Thank you Pinterest for the inspiration :)

Now its time to hit the ground running. 

The inspiration for my honours project is going to see Dad and his fight. I am going to concentrate upon cancer cells, their shape, form, textures and colour combinations. This inspiration will drive me forward and hopefully enable me to create something beautiful from a negative subject.

To enhance primary research I have conducted a survey, over 100 people have replied which for me is absolutely amazing. The link for the survey can be found below:-
