My Re-Introduction by JOSEPH HAWKINS - STUDENT https://padlet.com/g00305235/4uh76d6axsf2up3w en-us 2021-09-21 16:41:39 UTC 2025-11-04 03:20:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/263a.png About Myself g00305235 https://padlet.com/g00305235/4uh76d6axsf2up3w/wish/1757868241 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.

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.]]> 2021-09-21 17:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/g00305235/4uh76d6axsf2up3w/wish/1757957103 Inspirations g00305235 https://padlet.com/g00305235/4uh76d6axsf2up3w/wish/1757985002 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.]]> 2021-09-21 17:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/g00305235/4uh76d6axsf2up3w/wish/1757985002
