PROPOSAL – Part 1 Module Code Module Title

OUGD303 Final Major Project

Name Will Duffy

Date

 

REVISED POSITION STATEMENT AND RATIONALE “An image driven investigation of branding and identity with a focus on print and promotion” For the remainder of the course I want to continue to focus my design development and my resolutions around image based solutions. I want to continue to work with image and illustration where possible, and I want to use a combination of hand rendered and digital techniques to develop my design. Branding and identity will still be important in the progression of my work, but the solution will be appropriate to my research and idea development and could take any form of design. I still want to focus my practice on promotion where possible and on high quality printed resolutions primarily.
