Aims before university:
- expand
influence horizons
- to learn alternative techniques as I have previously felt limited to digital
based work
- to
find confidence in myself to produce high quality work, would never have done a
presentation in front of people before no
-to
work with a range of people and learn from their design process
Aims for Level 5:
- Continue
to grow in confidence with my work and in myself
- I've already started this by creating an Instagram account, this is to start beginning to get my work out there
and being more active as a designer
- To do
more work in the editorial element of graphic design as I don't feel limited in this area
- I hope to do a summer placement with a design studio that work with editorial design
- Placement
in editorial sector
- Continue perfecting my skills
in traditional print and continue to learn new methods and techniques
What have you learned and what do you want to learn?
- how to present more confidently
- how to gain worthwhile and effective feedback
- important to still have a life outside of graphic design as this is an important influence
- traditional print techniques, expand my horizons and creativity with my work
- how to over come issues and work with that I have by adjusting the design
What mistakes have you made and how have you learned from them?
- not having a schedule for a brief. this has meant that things have been overlooked and rushed as I have not had enough time to explore my ideas
- not investigating and planning for the future that a project could go in which has meant I have had to adjust designs that I feel has lowered the quality of my work
How will this affect your future development?
- In the future I will have a stronger plan and aim after being briefed for a project. This will allow me to have more time experimenting with my ideas
What have you enjoyed and why?
- Secret 7, working with a live brief that is more of the design area that i am interested in compared to the previous briefs where I have felt limited with my work
- Design principles; this module has allowed me to be more free with my work that means that I can explore more areas that I have an interest in and would like to explore further
What have you disliked and why?
- I didn't and still don't have a large interested in typefaces therefore I felt as though I struggled with this brief. This meant that I found it hard to produce a range of ideas and to be creative with the brief
How does this affect your ambitions?
What did you want to get from the year?
Have you achieved this?
To structure my presentation I have taken elements of this reflection and brought it together to summarize whether I have completed my aims for this year and what my aims are for level 5. Within this I have also talked about what I have enjoyed and the type of design that I am growing an interest in. To ensure that the presentation is consistant with my self branding, I have used the template style that I designed at the bringing of PPP, as well as using the same typeface that I have used in my self branding. This brings consistency to my work as well as making the presentation personal to me.

How does this affect your ambitions?
- It has shown me areas of design that I do not desire to work in. However, it has highlighted areas that I am more interested in (editorial)
What did you want to get from the year?
- Working with a range of people that have different styles and approaches than myself
- growing in confidence when speaking about my work in large and small groups
- started to be interested in the future and what I would like to do once I graduate although I still do not have a clear goal
- learn more traditional print methods
- learn more traditional print methods
Have you achieved this?
- I think that I have achieved this and have reflected on my aims through my presentation. Although there are areas that I still feel I need to work on, such as my confidence, I have become more confident in myself and creative with my work
