The first week of GRA2 is officially over, and to get started with the year we got our first Mandatory Assignment. We only had a week on this, so the main purpose of this assignment was to get a bit of an overview of the course structure, and reflect on what we have learnt from the previous year. I wasn’t sure whether or not to submit a report for this since it wasn’t mentioned in the brief, so I just wrote a very short one with a few notes.
To visualise the entire Graphic Design course structure and reflect my own progression over the two previous semesters, I have decided to make an infographic with inspiration from the video game Super Mario, mixed with my own ideas. I have brought this design structure with me to create the artist statement as well, so these images are strongly tied together.
I’m happy with the end result of this infographic. I find it fun, and I think it presents the structure of the course well. It also represents me as a designer. The artist statement was probably my biggest struggle, having to keep it at a maximum of 400 letters as per the brief, but reading a few short artist statements on The Art League Blog helped me with inspiration.

Until next time, stay creative,
