Key Insights
This project was a pivotal learning experience that shaped my approach to design and technical skills:
Designing with Empathy:
This project taught me the importance of putting myself in someone else's mindset. Understanding the barriers that prevent people from accessing education required me to think beyond my own experiences and truly empathise with those facing these challenges. This mindset shift became fundamental to my design approach.
First Real Client Experience:
This was my first experience working with a real client brief and requirements. Learning to interpret client needs, manage expectations, and deliver work that met their objectives whilst maintaining my creative vision was a crucial step in my professional development.
Adobe Suite Proficiency:
This project was where I really learnt to use the Adobe Creative Suite effectively. From Photoshop for image manipulation to Illustrator for vector graphics and InDesign for layout, I developed practical skills that would become essential tools in my design toolkit.
