Manchester, United Kingdom
I study graphic design HND at Salford University. -The purpose of this project is to develop my online presence. Also including a portfolio and aspirations for future work.

Friday 12 November 2010

Brainstorm for ideas about online articles.

Our task is to create two DPS (double page spread) articles for an online magazine, plus an online advertisement relating to the articles chosen. The aim is to promote Greater Manchester to art&design students as an amazing place to live, work & study!

My first objective is to outline some areas of interest I have in Manchester. Then refine the one's that stand out and work on those as articles for online publication by the 26th November.

Cycling-

Students need to get to University cheaply!  The quickest and most reliable way is to cycle. I am an avid cyclist, and cycle everywhere I go. Manchester is flat and very easy to cycle around.

Music-

Manchester has a rich heritage of producing great bands, but they would have not sprung up without the vast amount of live music venues around the city. My favourites are 'Matt & Phred's' and also 'Band on the Wall.'

Radio-

The two best Manchester stations for me are XFM and All FM. XFM is a national radio station with a broadcasting station in Manchester, while All FM is a local station serving mostly South Manchester.

Art-

Noise Festival, Mooch & Kraack Gallery are all based in the Northern quarter. I have had some involvement with each of them. But Noise Festival is where I have had work experience. They are a charity set up to promote young people involved in the creative industries.

Main Gallery spaces-

Manchester art gallery (central), Cube gallery and Whitworth gallery.
