It’s been quite a tough year for me – I’ve struggled with depression for a lot of my adolescent and adult life, my grandma died recently and I’ve had a lot of friend drama. So that’s definitely affected my year at uni. However, I enjoyed continuing my exploration into the creative industries and considering new areas, such as opening my own shop one day, that I hadn’t previously considered. Looking at practitioners and asking them questions gave me a lot of new insight that I took on board for my own practice. I could have definitely managed my time better and blogged more, and more frequently. I set goals for myself to do better at this than last year but because of my personal problems I’ve failed a bit. I am still enjoying the course, but I’m not even sure I want to be an illustrator anymore. I identified that I don’t want to be part of a collective, but my experience with the Responsive collaboration brief taught me that I do like to work in teams for certain projects. I just don’t want to define my work by a collective. I still aspire to create comics and/or graphic novels, and have continued to research the process and artists who create work in these fields. I still want to be creative and make work that showcases my talent and passion for character, humour and narrative. Next year, I want to manage my time better and blog more frequently, as well as make more industry contacts and maybe start work on some personal projects.
