From the exploratory stage's graphic design week I have learnt of the different specialisms within graphic design: promotional, advertising, packaging, editorial, corporate and typography. Out of all of the specialisms I think I prefer promotional; its pretty open ended so you can design more towards your own tastes as long as the product is promoted. It produces some pretty clever ideas such as Gordon Young's comedy carpet which helped to promote Blackpool but wasn't anything traditional or ordinary. This has also shown that graphic design is everywhere and anywhere. It has become common place in our lives and affects us more than we realise.
Artists such as Alan Fletcher and Dan Mountford have provided me with ideas on how to include different media into work. This will help when I specialise.
