Hello, my name is Adam Benton and I live in the town of Clacton On Sea in Essex. I am a graphic design student studying at Colchester School of Art and Design, which is part of Essex University and currently studying a BA (hons) Art and design, Graphic Media course, currently in my second year. This blog is for me to show my current works, and to show where I get my inspiration from as well as visual and contextual research.

This is my broadsheet that was part of my semester one work. The brief was entitled ’Tools of the Trades’ and the trade I got was on blacksmithing. I looked into most of the tools, but I found the tongs were most interesting as you can make your own, and the idea of a broadsheet was to convey information. In the end I designed a step by step guide to making your own tongs.  The text used is not my own words as the main point of the brief was to learn how to use indesign, layouts and grids. Overall it turned out rather good. I do think I should of added in a background to the whole thing.
