PPP Who am i? (luke Rossiter) // DPS type

For the text in the magazine, i wasn't really 100% sure what to focus on the most, I know Luke likes gaming and war however i also wanted to focus on his designing, so I have covered both areas, I am worried the first section may be a little random.

Luke Rossiter is 20 years old, born on the 19^th August 1991 in the town of St. Albans just north of London. He boasts not only is St. Albans home to the oldest pub in Britain ‘The Fighting Cocks’, it also contains the most pubs per mile than any other town. I think that we can all agree that this is NOT a negative thing. However, even considering this, Luke claims that if he could live anywhere in anytime he would either live, in 1990’s California, just so he could relax and enjoy casual design, OR live in 18^th century England, buy a ship and sail the seas, (a little like a Pirate),

Computer games are one of Luke’s number one passions, after asking him what his favorite game is, he responded, “That’s a really hard question, I don’t think I know what my favorite game is.”  I asked if he could narrow it down to a specific genre of game, “anything that has an immersing story line, I like the old Call Off Duty, but not the new ones”. I proceeded to ask for his current list of favorite games, his response was as follows, “ LA Noire / Grand Theft Auto 4 / Mass Effect 2 / Company of Heroes/ Total war series “.

I have noticed that many of Luke’s interests are revolved around artificial combat with use of tactically lead battle situations, not only with the computer games but also his other passion for the sport ‘ Airsoft’. I was not familiar with this sport before Luke told me about it but he described it as “a mixture between Paintball and battle re-enactments’, where ‘the use of common military tactics are used to achieve the objectives set in each game’

From the time I have known Luke, I have discovered that he is a clever young man, with an underlying interest in politics and world issues, such as Africa’s Blood Diamond trade. These interests often leak out into his designs as well as his continuous use of experimentation with pattern and colour.

Since he has been at Leeds College of art the products he has created have often heavily relied on type to create the visuals and the message, this has resulted in some really nice typographical work, which stands out and produces good reactions
