10 THINGS I WANT TO ACHIEVE OVER THE COMING YEAR - Level 5


 
1.    I want to develop and improve my ability to transfer my ideas onto paper in the form of sketches and drawings. This will allow me to analyse and develop the idea more easily, something that isn’t really possible without a good ability to sketch/draw.

2.    Although it is something that will be taught as part of the year I want to learn how to code. Although I really enjoy the print side to graphic design, I am also really interested in the digital side and I think it is an integral skill, especially to promote oneself.


3.    I want to design and produce an App. This is something I have wanted to do since the final few months of last year. I have a few concepts I want to develop and hopefully put into circulation.

4.    Improve the quality of my finished work. The reason I want to improve the quality of my work is so that I produce a body of work that full showcases my skills, abilities and interests.

5.    I want to learn how to advertise and present myself as a professional. Within this I also want to learn how to manage and calculate job costs and wages.

6.    I want to be more thorough with my investigation and research, not choosing the first concept I come up with. To do this I will regularly look at design blogs, studios and designers to build up a large visual library.

7.    I want to produce work using a wider range of processes and stock, making better//more use of the facilities and resources available to me.

8.    I am interested in the contextual, theoretical and psychological elements behind design and I aim to incorporate this into my idea//concept generation as well as my designing.

9.    As part of the Responsive module we have to entre competition briefs. Personally, I want to win a competition brief, as having my work recognized is important to me. The recognition would also provide exposure that I believe to be crucial in this tough industry.

10. I would like to produce work, a project, collaboratively with another creative discipline. This will put me in a good position for collaborating and interacting in business. Ideally I would like to collaborate with someone in either photograph or fashion, as these are some of my interests.

As well as these ten points, I also want to continually develop my software skills and improve the diversity of my idea generation.
