T/Shirt I designed while working in-house
Over the year I have been working at the company above as an in-house design. I gained the job by being asked to work there as a favour for a friend. The company specialises in alternative fashion and body jewellery. While the company is great to work for, and I enjoy helping my friends, I feel that I do not completely fit in to this particular line of work. I have spent my time making artwork for clothing and social media, as well as clarifying and creating brand guidelines for the business. I have liaised with illustrators and web designers, and I have had major creative input to the business. This has given me some fantastic experience that I could talk about at length in an interview, despite me not being overly proud of the work that I have done at the business. In order to reach my potential and be happy with my career I will need to be creating work that I have an affinity to, and I feel that this is what I am lacking here. I need to be thinking of bigger ideas, and spending less time creating artwork for social media, which is not where my passions lie creatively.
