Hi, I am Katie Shingles, (no puns necessary). I’m a 20 year old, Graphic Design student at the University of Wales, Newport. Although, where I study may deceive you, as I am a proud yorkshire girl from a small town outside of Leeds. I can be a traditional, country girl and have a big sense of adventure, or I can also be drawn to cities, where design is everywhere and would not exist without it. I decided to keep my options open when choosing my degree, as Graphic Design involves so much more than you would first think… Before University I appreciated architecture, was inspired by advertising and promotion, and loved animation. I am and will always be such a huge fan of Pixar! By deciding to keep my options open I however, if anything, I have broadened my interests. I have discovered design within subjects I previously didn’t realise involved so much. I now respect Typography, enjoy print-making and I am intrigued by book making. After purchasing my mac book, I am currently trying to develop my illustrative work and I am always learning more within photography. I now couldn’t imagine being with out it and will never go back to pc. I have always had a job since I was 12 and I am hoping that with this degree I can quit the job title and gain a career and with that see the world …
