MY LECTURERS HAVE RECOMMENDED ME TO DO A MASTERS, HAVE SAID THIS WOULD BE A POSITIVE PATH CHOICE FOR ME. I AM ACTIVE WITH MY WORK, ALWAYS WILLING TO GO OUT, GO TO MUSEUMS AND EXHIBITIONS A LOT. LIKE TO TRAVEL FOR THE PRUPOSE OF MY WORK. RNGE OF INTERESTS AND STRENGTHS, BUT HAVE YET TO HAVE A TRULY DEFINITIVE SPECIALIZATION, WHICH IS WHAT I AM HOPING TO ISCOVER ON THE MASTERS COURSE. I HAVE ENJOYED MY TIME AT UCA AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE STUDY THERE. I ENJOY COLLABORATION. I FEEL THERE IS MORE VALUE LEFT IN EDUCATION FOR ME, THAT I STILL HAVE THINGS YET TO DISCOVER IN THE GRAPHIC DESIGN EDUCATION SIDE BEFORE GOING OUT INTO THE DESIGN FIELD. NEW TECHNIQUES, MINIMALISM, SEMIOTICS. ACADEMICALLY CAPABLE. I WILL PROCCEED TO ACHIEVE TO THE HIHEST OF STANDARDS, I FEEL MY WORK HAS GREATLY IMPROVED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WHICH IS EVIDENT IN MY IMPROVING GRADES, RECIEVING AN A (FIRST) IN MY FINL MAJOR PROJECT, AND I AM EXPECTING A 2:1 OVERALL. CREATIVE AND POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS MORE ROOM FOR GOWTH AND DEFINITION. WHAT CAN I OFFER THE COURSE. I FEEL I AM A HARDWORKING AND FOCUSED STUDENT, WITH MY WORK BEING AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY IDENTITY, AND SOMETHING I ENJOY AS BOTH AN ACADEMIC AND LEISURE ACTIVITY. I LIKE TO CREATE IN MY SPARE TIME, WHETHER IT BE BOOK DESIGN, ILLUSTRATING, PHOTOGRAPHY OR FILM MAKING. I HAVE A VARIETY OF INTERESTS THAT I FEEL I CONTINUE TO EXCELL IN. I THINK I WIL BRING TO THE COURSE SOMEONE WHO IS CONTINUOSULY OPTIMISITIC AND DRIVEN TO EXCELL. LOOKING TO WORK WITH OTHERS, SHARE AND DISCOVER NEW IDEAS AND APPROACHES TO THE GRAPHIC DESIGN FIELD. I HAVE LEARNT A LOT STUDYING AT UCA OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.
