- I wanted to learn about the rules of design, which is something that this course will allow me to do.
- I wanted to move away from home (Sheffield), but stay in Yorkshire hoping that the general lifestyle wouldn't be too different.
- I enjoyed my graphics A Level much more than my maths or physics, so why not carry on doing something you enjoy?
- It will give me a chance to improve my work substantially, as my development over A level was slow.
- LCA has a really good reputation, so it seemed like this was the place to be.
What I Want To Learn
- I want to become a lot better at screen printing, something I've only really done once.
- How to make my work look more professional, as it's clear from my work at the moment that I'm a student.
- Different production techniques so I can vary how I produce my work to stop myself becoming bored.
- How to go about producing an effective layout, because this is something I've never had any lessons on.
- Software skills to improve the variety of work I can produce.
Skills I Think Are My Strengths
- Patience. I'm willing to take my time over something to consider all the options.
- Logic. I think very logically which means that I tend no to make lots of mistakes.
- Language. I think that I can explain and justify my work quite well
- Time Management. I don't miss deadlines.
- Attitude. I don't quit things, if I'm not doing very well at something I'll try and improve to prove to myself that I can do it.
What I Want To Improve
- Confidence. I'm not very good at talking in front of a large group.
- Knowledge and ability of software, to make it easier for me to produce work.
- Idea of what I want to do in the future, as currently I'm clueless.
- Attitude. I want to be more open-minded.
- The quality of my work, as that's something that's only improving slowly at the moment.
How I Will Evaluate My Progress
- If I feel that my work is improving, I will see that as a success.
- If my presentations become better, it will prove that I'm becoming more confident.
- If I start automatically using shortcuts on software, or doing things I didn't previously know how to do, I will know that I'm becoming more competent with it.
- If my work throughout the year develops some sort of recurring theme, it could be an indication that I'm beginning to realise what I want to do.
- If my design context blog is full and has lots of good quality posts it will show I'm starting to think more open-mindedly as I'm looking at a wide variety of things.
Questions I Want To Find The Answer To
- Why is LCA's reputation so good?
- Why didn't I improve very much over A Level?
- Why is a degree necessary to be a successful designer?
- Should I have done a foundation year?
- Is washing and ironing as difficult or time consuming as my mum makes it out to be?
Things That Inspire Me
- Fear of failing. I don't want to fail.
- The want to be successful. I want to be successful.
- Competition. I want to be the best at everything I do.
- Other peoples doubts about me. As much as I tend not to worry about what other people think about me, it's great to prove people wrong when they doubt you.
- People. Some things that people have said that have gone down in history, particularly Einstein and Churchill, just make me want to do well at whatever I do.
