As a designer, I aim to make a positive impact on society by sticking to my morals and acknowledging the consequences of my work when designing for myself and the people of the future. I will do this through collaboration, connection with community and learning from others so that I can successfully contribute to designing a better future which considers both social and environmental issues.

I am informed by the modernism art movement which uses symbolism and experimentation with form to break out of traditional artistic techniques and styles. The effective use of abstraction and colour allows this form of art to communicate various concepts and issues through a modern lens.

Through this self portrait, I wanted to convey myself as a professional yet exciting designer. Through the combination of bold illustration and black and white imagery I aim to mix elegance with fun. The bright colours are representation of my personality and also my style as a designer as I use fun and eye catching colours within my work. The black and white photography greatly contrasts the bold background however the glasses make the portrait more funky and less serious. The organic lines in the back also convey a sense of imperfection and freedom to play around and experiment. Designer, Jade Purple Brown had a major influence on my design decisions such as the combination of photography with colourful illustrations.

This logo represents my style and aesthetic through colour and line. The pink and orange are bright colours which reflect excitement and enthusiasm while the continuation of the letter 'L' creates an organic, free form. The combination of these elements allows me to convey my style as being fun, free and creative. I have chosen to use the first letter of my first and last name as I feel as though these letters best represent me in a simple and easy way and they are the letters I associate with my self. The use of the circle creates a sense of wholeness and comfort which entices the audience.

This self map is a representation of the different versions of myself which I have experienced and grown out of during my life. I have spent different stages of my life in different places and the challenges I have faced along the way has led to the creation of the person that I am today. The maps represent key places in my life which I have lived or spend a lot of my time such as England, Queensland and high school. In each of these places I was a different version of myself as these places and experiences have allowed me to learn and grow, shaping me into a young adult. The bright, bold colours are reflective of my style but also serve to represent my loud and extroverted personality as well as the excitement in my life. The repetition of lines in the shape of my side profile represent the business and repetition throughout my life but also the numerous versions of myself that I have lived through and experienced.
