For a talk at City Lit, I’ve been looking at how and why my creative practice has grown, and what I bring from one strand to the others.
It’s been a fascinating talk to put together – and here’s what it’s shown me about how creative knowledge and skills can work over time:
Logic suggests that I bring knowledge from my core practice of graphic design to my creative direction (using what I know) and sketch illustration (the thinking on paper in my design practice that’s now a thing in its own right). But I’ve found that each strand of work brings something to the others.
It hasn’t all been from the inside out – some clients and collaborators have seen new uses for my creative skills and knowledge before I have.
And because I come to my newer work without preconceptions, I’ve been open to all sorts of opportunities, interested to have new topics to delve into and new experiments to try.
If you have an idea for a project or you’d like me to do a talk for your organisation, get in touch for a chat.
