This year I was fortunate enough to be chosen for on of the 2010 Edna Lumb Artistic Trust travel prizes (a scholarship awarded to students at Leeds Metropolitan University each year to enable them to carry out travel study and broaden their horizons).I have proposed to spend three weeks travelling in a circular route through central Europe: producing publications, experiencing culture and researching approaches.
The timing of this scholarship has come at the perfect junction. Finishing second year after cementing where my interests lie within graphic arts and design. Having a year of learning to work more playfully and be more open minded in my approach to the subject. At the end of this year I feel content/comfortable working as a graphic designer within university, so its about time to shake things up. Three weeks on my own driving around Europe producing design off the back of my motorbike should do it. Putting me and the subject to the test. Will I be revealed as a fraud? a designer who can stand on my own two feet? or will the experience be a pivotal point in my career, helping me to ride straight through third year? Follow me. Humour me. Criticise me.
