About me

22/06/19881 St Marks Place West, Preston PR1 [email protected]@AmyLouGillespie

I am currently a second year FDA graphic design student at the University Centre at Blackburn College. I actually rather love graphic design, or should I say, I love being creative and graphic design is the perfect outlet for that. I think for me, the best thing about being a designer, is being able to take a problem, and apply a creative solution to it. I love the feeling you get when an idea starts to form and you can feel it, that’s the one. And I love nurturing that idea in to a fully fledged concept and in turn, in to a successful pitch and project.

Canvas magazine

The brief: Create a 16 page minimum editoral piece.

The concept: I chose to create atattoo base feature magazine. Thereason I chose this is due to existingmagazines all being very visuallygeneric. I wanted to create a verystylistic and sleek magazine that showcased the tattoos featuredwithin.

This is a project that I am particulary proud of. I worked on every part of the development, from art direction, photography,written articles and created thevisual style of the magazine.
