DIGITAL PORTFOLIO ASHTON PITTUCK

Graphic Design is something that I have always wanted to pursue as I have had an ongoing interest in the way that things are visually perceived by the observer. It has become a passion of mine to explore different ways in which my work can connect with the audience and convey a message that can be seen in a form that has yet to be designed.

In this portfolio I have gathered various pieces of work from my time at West Cheshire College. I have tried to represent a range of both my works final outcomes as well as the vital development which led to the finished pieces. Each assignment has been inspired by something different but has been related to the subject or message that needed to be communicated.
