1. From my experience this year I havemade a list of concise points I thinkare relevant to my design practice.

2. Be nice to people. I think if yourdesign is good and you make your self

approachable people will approachyou with various opportunity. Morepeople will approach you then some-one who is also good but intimidating.

3.Be your own person. It is good to getfeedback and advice but if you reallyfeel strongly about something makeyour own decision. Whats the worst

that can happen.

4. Try something new. Whether it bemediums, media and or techniques.The more you explore the more expe-rience you will have.

5. Make lists. Lots of people say makinglists is good and I agree. Once you cansee what needs to be done writtendown personally it makes whats needsto be done manageable. Also crossingthings off the list like your name is

Earl is very very satisfying.

6. Try not to worry. This bit of theory Igot from the lm Oldboy. People are

only scared of something if they im-agine or picture the consequences ornegative result of the occurring action.If something is worth worrying aboutdo what you can. If you have done

something about it and there is noth-ing else you can possibly do, dismiss itfrom your mind.

7. Travel and experience. Try and builta wealth of interesting experiences,hobbys, relationships, cultures, coun-trys. This serves as inspiration and isalso fun. If you worked everyday atyour desk your work would be shit.

9. Try and keep a visual diary. I general-ly forget what I get up to, not becauseits boring, just because my memory isrubbish. I think photography is a goodway of keeping a visual diary.

10.Set yourself goals. Long term goalsand short term goals. For example,

short term goal - get your work or blogyou follow. Long term goal - get yourwork published in a printed publica-tion.

1. Be committed and plan yourtime. If you feel you dont haveenough time. Stop watching TV.Stop social networking. StopProcrastinating.

2. Stop worrying about every-thing! Worrying solves nothing!Do something. Do as much as youcan but dont worry!

3. Dont be afraid to fail! Its notembarrassing to fail, it shows your

not afraid to take a risk. Have theballs to do what you want. Experi-ment with design and break therules. The best designers thinkoutside the box. Learn from yourmistakes.

4. Keep travelling, Keep expe-riencing different cultures andenvironments. Keep gettinginspired by the world around you.Leave the past behind and move

forward.

5. Work with people. Being adesigner is a social amusementpark. Collaborate, Collaborate,Collaborate. Work with as many

people from as many differentbackgrounds as you can. Work to-

gether and bounce ideas off eachother, inspire each other.

6.Learn something new every dayand keep a diary of everything!Take a photo every day and makea visual diary!

7. BE KIND to people and treatothers how i want to be treated.Good things happen from kind-ness. Aim to do at least one kinddeed every day. Keep the good

karma on my side.

8. Make lists. Set goals and plansregularly from what i want toachieve! wether that is daily,weekly, monthly, yearly.

I will use my blog as a tool toaid my design practice, explorethe work of others and reect on

my own personal developmentas a graphic design. I will aim to

do this through using the blogas an organic tool that I updatecontinuously rather than a statictool that I update all at once or atkey points.

I will give better critique ofmy peers work which is more

critical, more evaluative, remainpositive yet constructive whichwill help to transfer these skillsinto critiquing my own work andalso receiving and responding tocritique I receive.

I will be more experimental in theway I consider how I communi-cate messaged to my audience,through developing a greaterunderstanding of the world, my

audience and purpose will enableme to stray away from visualclique and explore new, innova-tive methods of visual communi-cation.

I will aim to explore more per-sonal project in my own time to

develop my skills a designer andexplore my own passions and in-terests within design, this is helpinform my professional practice.

I will consider how I can use newand interesting materials to helpwith the delivery of communica-tion rather than the pre formattedtools, process and outcomes that

come from purely digital design.

I will always think positivelyabout my work, and if I can seeanything negative about it, in-stead of dwelling on it, I will workto change it.

I will always be searching forinspiration, from everywhere thatI can, whether that be from abook, or simply walking down thestreet.

I will always place an importance

upon good time management andorganisation.

I will never give up on a project,even if it is something causingme great stress, I never want tosimply stop trying, even if theoutcome is not what I planned.

I will always be open and honestwith my peers, and I will respecttheir opinions when they provideme with honest feedback.

I will always aim to be daring andinnovative when creating designs,so that my work is not simply arecycled idea.

I will always have a goal to worktowards, whether it is a personalor a professional aim.

I will always say yes to newopportunities and experiences,because I cannot develop as adesigner and person if I simplystay in one place not taking anychances.

I will do things that I love, andlove what I do - and I want tocreate work that involves craftingand print, as these are my favour-ite areas of design.

I will always try to retain a bal-ance, in every aspect of my life.
