For my final poster design I decided to completely recreate a new visual concept. I went back back to the drawing board and looked back over the brief and highlighted the things that were most important. One thing that stuck out to me in particular was the area that said to focus on your design discipline.
Immediately I went to Pintrest in order to gather images for inspiration. By creating this concept board below I could clearly see the direction of which my poster was leading towards. I was creating a visual workspace environment which had inspirational research boards stuck around the room. By producing this it made me think about my personal workspace at home and how I communicate and gather my research.

In order to portray my particular design specialism, I have created this layout below, it visually communicates a workspace for a creative, like myself. On the desk I have included some of my most useful and precious tools which I use regularly in order to collect my research.

Each object that is listed on the table also reflects back to each of my design research methods that have been taught in the four method lab sessions. For example, the laptop directly links to fact or fiction as it is a tool which is used to collect data and gather secondary resources. The plant artefact which links back to session two where we had worked with materials and build clay models. The camera reflects observation in the filed and the phone and notepad are used as playful devices which can be used to record audio, film and draw.
I am much more happier with this layout as I feel more connected with it on a personal level, as I feel it reflects me as a designer and how I work. I think the layout of the board could possibly be difficult for some people to read and to pin point where to begin when reading, however for me this structure defines who I am as a designer and it has helped me to understand my discipline from a creative angle.
Each session has also helped me to understand where I would use particular research methods and how I can approach them and organise my data.
