PPP BLOG. e.g f-bates1114-ppp.blogspot.com This blog should be used to document your ongoing investigation of contemporary design practice, visual culture, creative industries and research into designers and design companies. You should aim to broaden your understanding of how graphic design operates in amongst a breadth of other creative practices as well as developing an increasingly focused understanding of where you are positioning yourself within graphic design. This blog should help you identify the kind of work that inspires you and informs the decisions that you are making about the work you produce and your future aspirations. You should also use this blog to document the ongoing self evaluation of your own strengths and weaknesses, the development of reflective approaches to your own learning journey and the critical analysis of your emerging design practice in relation to individual creative ambitions.
