- Time management skills- I plan to have personal weekly timetables to manage multiple briefs
- Find out more about who I am as a designer-my speciality
- Enter more life briefs-get more involved with finding out about these live briefs- would be good for my portfolio.
- Improve my blogs/ website ( which I hopefully would have created in the summer)
- Further technicle type skills- I think the only way I can fully understand this is not by only from reading but by DOING....Therefore I plan to include more type in my work.
- Make less mistakes...especially stupid ones like printing off 20 hotdog folds before proof reading
- Become more proactive interms of thinking about the future-get involved with potential employments
- Use the facilities more eg. Letter Press, Woodblock, Print- digital at Blenheim and Screen/ Mono at Vernon.
- Further layout skills/ InDesign- use Indesign to create prints to perhaps promote a product/ Advertise it
- Packaging- packaging products or use packaging as the product itself.

PPD-Presentation Preparation
PPD-Communicate a reflective summary of my experience on the course
INTRODUCTION- in this presentation Expectations, Who I am as a learner and a designer, How have things I experience over this past year affected my aims and ambition.
1. Expectations- What I wanted to achieve from being on this course was to be lead into the right direction into becoming a ( really good) Graphic Designer. I wanted the skills and knowledge about the design inductry that will give me every advantage when competing for a placement/job. I also hoped to learn about what kind og designer I want to be.
So far on this course... I feel that I'm heading in that direction...I hope!
2.Who I am as a learner and a designer?-my work and I....
I am... a problem solver,motivated, honest, direct,impulsive, open minded but also critical.
I wish I was....organised...much more organised, better informed, decisive and neat....
Therefore I've learnt that as a designer I like to solve specific problems/briefs that are given to me in a shorter amount of time rather than to create a problem to be solved over a long period of time. I struggled with the long briefs at first more specifically the 'collection 100' brief . I found it hard to manage the time we were given and took too long to figure out what my problem was.
However, over the term I learnt to manage my time better and the most recent long brief. the ' speaking fro experience ' brief I feel like I worked more effectively and more decisively. I decided quickly what the problem had to be, did some effective research and then solve the problem which I clearly specified.
Working with other people...... I've learnt that I can work with other people through the three briefs that we've had..........................................................................................(more need to be written down )
3.How have the things I experienced over this past year affected my aims and ambitions-
This year I have learnt and found skills in-
At this point in time I'm still not sure about what my speaciality is but I don't feel like I am skilled in enough fields to decide that yet and thats why I would really like to learn more about other elements within Graphic Design before I do.
But I think my approach to work would be more playful, light hearted and entertaining rather than a more serious approach. I would still like it to be information and persuasive.
