What I enjoyed most about my Art and Design Foundation year was having the freedom to learn on my own and explore avenues and pathways that interested me. All the project briefs were very open and allowed me to develop my own personality and style in them.
In the early stages of the programme, I was also able to explore different degree pathways. I enjoyed learning about Textiles as well as Graphic Design and at one point even considered taking a degree in it, despite initially being certain that Graphic Design was the pathway for me.
One of my greatest achievements at Loughborough University was being awarded the John Mack Foundation Award for Visual Communication. This was given to me for fully embracing the ethos of the Art and Design Foundation course within my field of Visual Communication. I felt proud because it made me feel that I had progressed very well throughout the year.
