A varied selection of work from my Graphic Design portfolio-Mainly Foundation Diploma Work


SORRY, PLEASE EXCUSE THE ERRATIC AND IRREGULAR LAYOUT OF THE TEXT IN MY DIGITAL PORTFOLIO. FOR SOME REASON AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED IN THE FORMATTING AND I CAN'T MANAGE TO GET RID OF THIS FAULT, HOWEVER WHERE I PREVIEW WHAT I HAVE DONE IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. THE TEMPLATE SHOULD FOLLOW THAT OF MY PROJECT '£1 EACH' WHICH APPEARS CORRECTLY.
