- Who am I - who are they?
- Where are they - how will they find me?
- How will I promote myself - what do they want to hear?
- Who else is out there - how good are they?
1. I have a keen interest in typography and wish to persue a career which involves this line of work, whether it be for magazines, newspapers, books, business indentities etc.
2. Since being introduced to Adobe after effects, I have taken a huge liking to animation. I find it fascinating as to what can be achieved with one piece of software, so I aim to further my knowledge and continue using this method of working in future.
Television is something I would absolutely love to work with, so animation is something I could end up doing after the course.
3. I have an open mind when it comes to working local, national or transnational. A part of me would like to stay in my own country as I'm familiar with the language and cuture, whereas another part wants to explore and have the experience of working in another country. It'd be extremely interesting to see what it would be like to work with, with those from other countries.
4. My computer skills have improved massively over the past few years. I enjoy working on computers as I am particularly keen on precise, clean outcomes.
5. Photography is something I've always enjoyed doing, however I haven't used the skillsI have an awful lot. So another of my aims is to ensure I start using photography in my work more.
6. If I were to design packaging or something 3 dimensional, I want to be able to send it on to be produced by someone else. My weakness lies in the final resolution. I've found my ideas have always been the strongest part of my work.
7. The level of competition for jobs by the time I finish this course will be high. There will be so many people trying to find work in the best companies, so I must take advantage and use all the information I can get to help me be one of those people who get the job I want.
I will build my portfolio and seek experience during the remainder of my college years to help me get a clear idea of what it is exactly I want to do, and to begin building relationships with companies which will enable me to build a promising list of contacts.
8. I find working with other people extremely useful and worthwhile. It's good to be able to use other people's skills to produce work.
9. I have often thought about freelance work. I don't want to completely rule out this option, although I don't really think it's for me. I think I need some motivation behind me to make me work hard, so working within a company or in a team would push me and I'd constantly know people rely on me to produce the work.
10. My ambition in life is to be successful in whatever I end up doing. I will put 100% into my job and aim as high as possible.
