A Bit About Me!
:)
My name is Samantha Tilyard (Sam) and I have just completed a four year Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in Graphic Design. I am currently looking for freelance, part-time or full-time design work. As a designer I am enthusiastic about all stages of the design process. I enjoy using typography and when appropriate illustration in my work. I am passionate about pursuing personal projects and research, always looking to up skill my abilities and learn from all opportunities I am given. I am a keen baker and enjoy cooking and my 2011 resolution is to grow a vegetable garden!

Keetra Dean Dixon
Keetra Dean Dixon's' work is not only beautiful to look at but also explores meaningful concepts with intense thought process and research. She looks at how to instill wonder in the daily routine and encourage her viewers to be more open about play and imagination. Her projects are often whimsical and entertaining. Ultimately her work is for the 'greater good' offering her viewers a positive and engaging experience with design.

Serge Seidlitz
Serge Seidlitz is a designer whose site I look at for inspiration in illustration. I enjoy his colour and compositional layouts and the way he is able to use his passion for illustration in a commercial way. I enjoy looking at his hand-generated work as well as his digital work. His 'old blog' is worth a look to.

Bakerella
Baking is a favourite hobbie of mine, in my spare time I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing them with others. This site is one I constantly visit, it is packed full of yummy things, clever ideas and beautiful process photographs for any occasion.
Little Friends of Printmaking
This site has some really interesting print works. Print making and screen printing is something that has always appealed to me, I appreciate the opportunity to work away from the computer and experience all stages of the process, right up to the final print.
Yulia Brodskaya
Yulia Broskaya is a designer I constantly look to for motivation. I admire her hands on approach and the way she is able to transform information through her tactile use of paper, creating a sense of magic for the viewer. Her work has been a strong reflection for some of my projects and encouraged me to develop my passion for paper, colour and typography.
Daily Drop Cap
An interesting blog project where designer Jessica Hische creates a drop cap per working day. I enjoy viewing all the different ways she has approached her personal brief and respect her determination and large collection of typographic and aesthetic combinations. Her folio and blog website is also worth a look.
Notcot
Notcot is a huge resource for the 'latest and greatest' in all things design. A good way to keep an eye on what's going out there, the site is well organised and every image links
to another site with more information, you never know where you might end up!
They share everything from fashion, to furniture and architecture.

Ads of the World
A well known site with some of the best (and worst) ads from all around the world! I enjoy comparing ads for similar products and viewing what different countries are up to. Mostly it's a great site for a good laugh or quick inspiration fix, and a 'one stop shop' to keep up on all the latest trends in advertising.
