Olive Rowe
BA Graphic Communication
Throughout my degree, I have learnt to explore ideas in a more conceptual way, thinking outside the box beyond the more obvious solutions, and making interesting visual connections that bring it to life. I have been inspired to always keep my visual radar on, and constantly look at things in the real world that interest me to find inspiration in unexpected places. I would describe myself as a completer finisher, which usually works in my favour in committing to one idea and following it through while problem solving through potential challenges and working efficiently.
I always strive to take feedback on board, and my course has taught me the importance of maintaining the balance between various outside input and taking ownership over my individual ideas and creative direction. As a designer, I think that copywriting is one of my strengths – I can write well when the opportunity is there and enjoy playing with words and language to give a project its own voice and personality.
