I then had a look on Nathan's blog to get more of an idea about him, what he likes and his style of work etc.
I found the '10 things I've learnt about myself personally and professionally' good to look at for this project because it gives a personal insight into what Nathan thinks about himself:
10 things I've learnt about myself personally: NATHAN BOLTON
1. I am a driven person, once i get the idea of something or know that i want to do something, i will do it straight away and not stop until i have finished it
2. I am impatient, walking around leeds i find myself always walking around people who walk slow, i hate waiting in queues and if i know I'm going to get something i want it straight away.
3. I am organised, quite a lot actually. I like to make lists and make sure that i know what has to be done. With all the work we've had so far, i have found doing this has kept me up to date with everything, which is a good thing!
4. Graphic design is now part of my life, i pretty much live it, there isn't a part of the day when i don't think about something I'm designing or come up with an idea for a design.
5. I can cook! i have lasted so far cooking for myself and not got food poisoning or anything
6. I like visual things, i have found that i haven't really taken to reading books with seems and seems of pages, id much rather look through a magazine or just at images online.
7. I love publication design!
8. How to manage my money, having my loan and making it last the full time and not getting into debt. I have found that i have to substitute some things for others. e.g id much rather spend more money on decent food than having a night out!
9. I am a perfectionist, with pretty much anything that i do. I like everything to be exact and everything to be in order.
10. I get distracted really easily.

Another thing I found interesting for this project was looking at the task where we had to find 10 interesting questions we'd ask ourselves, so I looked at Nathans answers in order to get some more background information:

Ive looked at work Nathan's designed himself, these are some of my favourite pieces:
I think Nathan has a simple, clean cut, very professional approach to his design work, I will try and apply this to my double page spread about him:
