The problem that we saw was that we thought some people only use their advantages at the start of the year when actually its really important for a trial and error. Its a good thing to make mistakes in the first year and therefore we created a cookbook guide to help others settle into the year and to understand that you can play around with anything like transforming a guidebook to a cookbook.
We wanted to help the first years to understand that it can be a fun year and it can be serious.
Think about the new experiences that you have had, the difficulties that you have overcome and the new people you have met and the life skills you have acquired this year.Remember what it was like starting your first week, how did you feel and what emotions did you experience? Excitement, trepidation, fear or did you feel overwhelmed. You might have benefited from some advice, opinions and insight from others that have experienced the same transition.What might you say, do or give to next years graphic design students to make the transition into the student experience, particularly this course more welcoming?
Our brief was to design something that we could show to first year students to help them throughout the year. We had to create a graphic response that would give some advice for first year students.
I decided to work collaboratively with Paayal Makdani because we both had similar messages. Paayal decided to do a cookbook guide that was associated with type whilst I wanted to create a cookbook guide that would help you keep a diary of what you need to throughout the year such as Context Of Practice, Studio Practice and and Personal and Professional Practice (COP, SP, PPP).
