 What do you want to achieve by the end of the course ?

id like to have achieved a 2:! or a 1:1 and have a graphic design portfolio which im proud of. Also it would be nice to have a line up of job opportunities which i could choose between and to have had some work experience with other companies to know what the design industry is like.




What is your ideal Job ?


My ideal job would be to work with a company which has been set up for a while so i know that it is a steady job. but the job title i would like to aim for would be to be an Editorial Art Director. I would love to be a editorial designer as i think this would make me most interested in what im wanting to achieve in the future and make me look forward to going to work each day.




Do you want to work freelance in the future ?


I would work freelance in the future but i dont want to do this for a long period, i would prefer to be in a job which i have things told to me to hand down to other people and for me to design, instead of trying to control a company as i dont think i would be as successful due to my organisation skills at this current time being poor.


Do you want to work in this country or abroad ?


I could work in either country but it would have to be one which could speak good English. i like the idea of working in America cause there are alot of job opportunities there but i will most likely get a job in the England just because im brought up in this style so it makes life changes alot easier.

What If ... Self Evaluation

What problem did you identify? 
How do you direct students to interesting and unseen urban areas of Leeds? 
 


What evidence did you find to support your decisions?

There was a lot of graffiti done around leeds and after gathering loads of images to support this factor we created our project to help find ways in which we could help to put graffiti in the right areas and to change what people think of it, because we really questioned whats the difference between graffiti and art.


What methods did you use to gather your evidence and what forms did it take? 

Quantitative Research
Qualitative Research
Graphs
Questionnaires
Internet 
Library Books  


What methods of research did you find useful and why?
I think that the questionnaires once turned into graphs where most useful due to it gave the thoughts and opinions on what the people who actually live in leeds think about the art which is created around leeds. From the research we got a shocking return of facts.


How did these inform your response to the problem? 
They helped to give the general idea on how the final outcome should look to best answer what the brief was requiring.


What methods did you encounter as problematic? 
Trying to gather the areas in which the graffiti had taken place as these areas are not widely publicised due to that being the objective of our project.


How did you ovecome this? 
Searching the internet and going out and searching for the graffiti ourselves, this was a long task but it payed off in the end.

What research could you have carried out that would have proved more useful? 
Asked the council of leeds as they would have the areas which need cleaning and this could also give us an idea of graffiti which even the council don't know about. This would make things even better as a project in the whole.
