STUDY TASK 2 - WHO AM I NOW

After today's seminar with John he asked each of us to respond to a small task. I have come up with 3 answers for each question which will help me identify where I am today in my practice and hopefully where I would like to go from here.

My chosen areas of practice as of now:

- Print

- Crafting

- Brand and Identity

My main strengths as of now:

- Experimentation

- Print

- Image

My identified weaknesses as of now:

- Typography

- Design Sheets

- Layout

A set of main goals for this year: 

- Create some branding for myself

- Start visiting studios

- Improve my layout skills

- Blog more

- Make better use of the library

- Manage my time better

- Start considering my portfolio

- Enter more competitions.

I think I have more than enough personal goals for the minute, but I'm sure I will get these out of the way.

Wishes:

- I wish I would stress less and just get on with the job in hand.

- I wish to end up in a laid back fun working environment, undertaking briefs that I can take an interest too.

- I want to go work in a hot country

Ambition:

As far as our practice is concerned do you want to be... 

Employed - Working in a Studio/Agency 

Owner - Designer/manager/Coordinator & Collaborator 

Manager - Managing staff for another owner

My initial ambition is to aim to get a job within a studio or design agency, this will give me an insight into the design world, and I will decided where I want to go from there. I may hate the industry yet who knows.
