I am Joe Hawkins 33. I am a very easy going person who likes to make people laugh. I enjoy creating a light hearted and warm atmosphere for others to thrive.

In terms of my college work, I take inspiration from my classmates so obviously the last 18months have been difficult as we have not all been in our studio.

I am very lucky to have very supportive family and friends who are and have always been there for me.

I am so excited for this final year and looking forward to seeing everyone again and getting back to some sort of normality.

Some of my favourite movies include The Crow, Step Brothers, Talladega Nights Training Day, Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy and other comic based (Marvel/DC) movies.
Some of my favourite TV shows include Peaky Blinders, The Grand Tour, Gogglebox, The Chase.

I am a massive football fan, my team being Arsenal (pic above).

In the last 6 years I have been able to visit some beautiful places which include Valencia, Sevilla and most recently Nice.

I do hope in the future to go to more places. Some on my bucket list include Venice, Florence, Amsterdam and Munich.

As a Graphic Design student I have thoroughly enjoyed any project or work which involved branding. Most recently I had the pleasure to work in a team with Patrick Gaffney and were given the task of designing promotional material for my college (CCAM) which led to use rebranding the college.

The process was so satisfying as I was able to work in a team and feedback we received from that project was such a confidence builder.

Over the last few years I have done a lot of research on other artists and graphic designers. Two who spring to mind are Ben Johnston and James Turrell.

Ben Johnston is an artist specialising in custom typography for murals, advertising & installations.

James Turrell works with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception.
