My Wants’& My Don’t Wants’.

WHAT I WANT TO DO:


• I want to produce motion graphics, type as image, layout and print.

Why?

Because these are the areas of work I enjoy and the areas of work I intend to work within when I leave.

• I want to gain a work placement / industry experience with a company that is suited to my design practice.

Why?

Because it will give me an idea of how a professional creative environment works and will help me gain contact to further my career path.

• I want to produce a range of work within across a disciplines.

Why?

To show I have an understanding of different medias and approaches to really meet the brief.

“The Discipline of Design is not important it's the idea”©.

• I want to produce work that is of a professional standard not only in terms of concept, development and resolution but also in terms of time scale and deadlines.

Why?


So I have work that I am happy with putting within my portfolio and my online presence. For me first impression count and I want to make the best first impression I can to future client/employers. I always think working within realistic times scales would help bridge the gap between education and industry although I do appreciate that in education things to be done to make work assessable and understand the purpose etc.

• I want to collaborate with others within collage and outside of collage.

Why?

This will help me develop my professionalism dealing with other peoples specifications and ideas I will have to work at a professional rate meeting and if possible exceeding there expectations. I also think it would be beneficial working with other as I can learn and develop new skills from others.



WHAT I DON’T WANT TO DO:

• I don’t want to produce packaging for corporate companies.

Why?

In my opinion the majority of corporate packaging is often safe and with the audience’s comfort zone and this is not the kind of work I want to produce.


• I don’t want to do any web development or coding.

Why?

I’m happy designing the mocks ups for layouts, design directions etc. for websites but I find coding boring and I don’t stay up late enough to be a hacker.


• I don’t want to design hand illustrated book covers.

Why?

Because I don’t want to be an illustrator.


• I don’t want to do advertising concepts.

Why?

Because after the YCN brief for The British Music Experience I can’t cope looking or coming up with another tagline. I have identified this is not one of my strengths.
