WEDNESDAY 14TH DECEMBER –

RATIONALE During this module, I am going to produce work for my portfolio which demonstrates who I want to be and who I am as a designer, as this will help me gain future employment and placement opportunities. This will include work which exploits my full skill set and demonstrates my ability to produce informed design solutions to identified problems.

I will work predominately on branding/ editorial/ layout /digital design as this is the design direction I want to take and I want my portfolio to reflect this.

I am going to improve my photography skills as this will allow me to present my work better in my portfolio and through my online presence.

I will improve my type and layout skills though a focus on print, as this will allow me to apply high spec print processes to my work whilst improving my typographic and design skills.

I am going to improve my ability to design digitally: website and app design, as this will make me a more eclectic designer with a multiple skill set, seen as design is moving more into the digital era I need to have digital design as one of my skills.

I will work both independently and collaboratively as this will demonstrate my ability work alongside people/ other designers as well as on my own.

I will work on live briefs to show I am able to work with real clients on real design problems.

I will gain a deeper understanding of art history and more cultured design as this will build my design knowledge and inform my design decisions.

I am going to research entrepreneurial opportunities as this will provide me with the opportunity to get myself and my design out into the real world and reach different audiences.

I will discover whether there are any areas of my work which need to be improved upon as this will help me progress as a designer.
