Hey!
Who Am I? Lizzy Gosney Second year Graphic Design student at Leeds College of art. Previously studied an Art Foundation at London College of Communication. Originally from West London.
Me as an individual
Friendly Confident Approachable
Me as a Designer
LG Bold Imaginative Experimental
What are my strengths & how have I/will I develop them further? Persistence Commitment & Reflection
What are my weaknesses & how do I intend to address these? Occasional lack of patience Keeping on top of blogging & Setting unrealistic Goals
What mistakes have I made & how have I learned from them? Poor time management resulting in rushed outcomes. Bad organisation - losing work & having to start again. Accepting work from a Client for free.
What have I enjoyed & why? + First experience of paid work. + Meeting with clients. + Learning a broad range of new written skills. + Working on a range of competition and live briefs. + Self promo & branding.
What have I disliked & why? - Always feeling like I haven’t done enough. - Working on multiple briefs at once - can be hard to know which to prioritise. - Feeling rushed before deadlines. - Blogging all the time.
What have I discovered that I wasn’t expecting? I was able to code a (very basic) website using Dreamweaver. I have become more confident about presenting my work and ideas to other people. I have become more sensible with prioritising projects. Working for Client’s isn’t as scary as it seemed.
