Other than this task, just get stuck into finding the sort of work you like, are inspired by, and would like to create, whatever that might be.
The more inspired you are, the more you’ll enjoy the subject, and the better you’ll do.
Have an amazing summer, enjoy a well-earned rest after your GCSEs and we’ll see you in September.

It is important to find work that inspires you to get creative while studying Graphic Design. Use these platforms, Instagram, Dribbble, Behance and Pinterest to find the following things and put them into a Google Slides presentation.

Find the following...
a. Packaging that uses patterns
b. Poster with an element of photography
c. Children's illustration or illustrated book cover.
d. Quote or lyric typography design
e. Illustrated Postcard or Photocard
d. Social media promotion
Here are some examples...
If you are on Instagram don't forget to follow our Instagram account @f6thgraphicdesign to keep up to date with what is going on in the department, and to see the sort of work that students create on the course.
Check out this online exhibition. D&AD New Blood is a celebration of the work of Graduates from degree courses such as Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Animation, Illustration and Games Design. It is an insight into current trends and the kind of work you could be producing if you pursue a Creative Degree after college.
