Action Plan & Strengths/Weaknesses.

Strengths:
  • Coming up with ideas
  • Sticking to the brief 
  • Working in a group
  • Development
  • Making decisions/team leader
Weaknesses:
  • Organisation time/work.
  • Background research
  • Explaining ideas vocally

Action Plan:
  1. Start a separate blog to organise my work and outside activities as well as keeping this one up to date.
  2. Get more involved with design and advertising specifically outside of required work.
  3. Link my blogs together so that they are accessible through each other.
  4. Look for more advertising based work experience, rather than just design that I already have.
  5. Visit London and advertising agencies there.
  6. Work with different people as I need to find someone I work well with, and although I worked well with my group now I believe I haven't found the right person yet.
  7. Develop on explaining my ideas vocally to people in larger groups
  8. Organise my work better, keep sheets of paper organised and safe together so I dont lose anything as well as organising my time better as I've recently just got my first job I need to organise my time more.
  9. Research better, and keep my findings.

How I've found advertising:
When I decided on my specialism I was debating between Motion Graphics and Advertising, because although I like to think of ideas and be quirky and I also like to search out adverts through Ads of The World, etc, I also like the 'making' side of it. When we did the Print to Pixel project, I enjoyed that project the most out of the ones we did last year, so I was debating between the two for a while. I decided on advertising as I came to SHU intending to do advertising and I've always had an interest in it. After having spent my time doing this module I think I've made the right decision as I enjoy coming up with ideas, and although the whole vocal side of things is a little shaky for me at the moment, I believe I will start to enjoy this more and come out of my shell that I've been gradually doing for a while whilst as Sheffield Hallam.
