My name is Robin and I'm a third year architecture student and I got the opportunity to design the grad show poster.

My inspiration came from working within the different facilities. Even if I'm architecture student, I use this space
0:18

as the photo studio a lot. I use the workshop. I use even the fashion departments. So actually the crossover
0:25
25 seconds
working was the inspiration of these posters. We started with a workshop where we came together with the idea and a concept and we developed that within

the team. Since I'm an architecture student, I wanted to bring something more than just a photo. So I designed a

architecture piece. The idea was was inspired from the the building actually the Elden building, but also from the journey as a student taking different
0:50
50 seconds
steps and uh meeting different challenges during their journey. I'm from Sweden and going here to the UK and
0:57
57 seconds
to Portmouth, it was a big different compared to what I had at home. But I took the challenge that I got and it been a really inspiring journey. A lot

1 minute, 5 seconds
of opportunities have opened. I have both been able to have the creativity but also the technical background within architecture. Yeah, I'm really thankful
1:13
1 minute, 13 seconds
for the opportunity I got working with photography and that the team in here,
1:17
1 minute, 17 seconds
the workshop where I created this object, even graphic design and the fashion departments which helped me sort everything out and make this possible.
1:25
1 minute, 25 seconds
I'm really looking forward to combine these professions which have really inspired me. So that's something I want to continue doing. Nothing will come to you if you don't give an offer for it.
