On this particular day I was woken up by my alarm, got dressed for the day, drove to get coffee, drove home, and then completed an assignment.

I created these minimalistic icons through Illustrator, using a combination of the tools available to me (particularly shape, shape building, colour, scissors etc.).

These icons mainly employ two Gestalt principles. Firstly, symmetry can be seen in icons 1 and 6, and this makes icons more memorable and easier to recall. Secondly, simplicity is evident in all of these icons as they are closed shapes and have minimal design, making them easier to perceive.

For this treated drawing I took a picture of my continuous line drawing and uploaded it into Illustrator. I then made use of the image trace tool and was able to use colour to create some shading on my flower to give it more character. I found this to be a really great experiment!

Design means to create functionality for the everyday person, potentially with a main focus of aesthetics, or serving as a solution to a problem. Design is meant to make the process of mundane living a little bit more exciting.

I hope that as a designer I can provide an escape for the everyday consumer through fun and pleasing visuals that they can understand and resonate with.

I absolutely love the work of Australian graphic designer Noemie Le Coz. She takes inspiration from Pop Culture, colour, and the 90's. She defines her work as playful yet restrained, mixing highs and lows, and minimalism with character!

From all of my research undertaken thus far, this artist and style has spoken to me the most!

The work of Mexican architect Luis Barragán is so beautiful and inspiring. I love his use of right colours which he said is reminiscent of the traditional architecture of Mexico. Barragán stated that is was important to him that spaces are not aggressive, which is why he used low forms and permanently used right angles in his designs.

Barragán encapsulated the Modernist employing characteristics of clean, straight lines through his works.

Chinese graphic designer, Zipeng Zhu is known for his chaotic and bold designs. These designs include bright colour, polka dots, rainbow stripes, optical illusions and typography that pops. His design approach could be considered a tribute to Pop Culture.

I really admire Zhu's designs and fell in love with the chaos and the colours he uses. It is inspiring hearing him speak about how he approaches designing for clients and how colour schemes come to him so naturally.

Jessica Walsh is an American graphic designer who is well known for her work that is bold and playful at the same time. It demands attention, but never loses its sense of fun. Growing up she was inspired by her grandmother's crazy fashion and the colours she would wear. I think that she encapsulates the Maximalist movement extremely well.

I'm heavily inspired by this kind of work produced by Walsh as it can be described in one word...FUN.

I completed this oil painting in 2018 and absolutely love the use of floral arrangement.

I am heavily inspired by Danish eclectic interior design! It amazes me how contrasting colours, patterns, and shapes can be paired together and look so beautiful.

Pain - lines that are sharp, bold in darkness, and thick.
Wistful - airy lines that appear to be floating like a feather in the wind
Drama - chaotic and sharp lines that appear to be exploding

Through this picture sequence it is clear that I am inspired by beautiful objects and environments, my relationships with others, colours, and my workplace. I work in fashion retail and am constantly inspired to create unique outfits (top right image). I am a content creator on Instagram and have included a couple of images I took in the 28 day period to symbolise that I am inspired by my own creativity and this fuels me to keep going.

My resolved self-representation employs the use of a few different features that encapsulate me and my design style. To begin, the map which can be seen in the background is a depiction of where I spent my childhood and early teen years in Kenmore, Brisbane. This is a very special place for me and holds many fond memories of friends and family. I chose to change the colours of this map to include more of an abstract colour scheme of pinks and blues to convey my interest in maximalism and eclectic design styles. The roses surrounding me are there because not only are they beautiful, but they also symbolise the rose garden that I grew up with which manifested my love for flowers and my interest in occasionally using them in my work. I believe that this self-representation conveys all that I stand for in design and successfully represents my key words of fun, excitement and unity.

For this task I have chosen to create an abstracted representation of myself. I have absolutely fallen in love with this type of design as it is fun, chaotic, colourful, and represents what I like as a designer. This abstracted representation is an escape from reality, which is exactly what I want to create for my audience through lighthearted, fun, and aesthetic visuals.

I loved the subject of my treated drawing so much that I decided to turn it into my logo! I really admire its simplicity yet it still radiates excitement through its contrasting and bright colour scheme, as well as unity through its curved nature. I also chose to include my name alongside the stem of my logo to make it more personal.
