6A3 Demonstrate specific knowledge and specialist understanding of the professional and contextual location of their practice.

Knowledge and Understanding - RESEARCH

I think my blog clearly demonstrates the development of my style and direction. I’ve blogged since the start of my summer internship at SCMP, til now, and I think my sense of direction has changed and refined a lot since then.

Very good

6B2 Undertake research to identify and evaluate their personal and professional skills and the career or progression opportunities available to them. (Cognitive Skills EVALUATION & REFLECTION

I have completed live briefs which have informed Very good my practice (lifting tower animations, editorial illustration during summer), and am now working on a mural for an urban development company! I’ve evaluated my performance and work on my blog.

6C2 Develop and implement a personal promotion strategy to communicate to relevant organisations. Practical & Professional Skills - VISUAL QUALITY)

I am still slightly intimidated of the idea of contacting professionals (practitioners and agencies alike), I feel like I need to stop being so scared and really put myself out there.

6D2 Use a range of appropriate communication methods to present themselves as a professional practitioner to a relevant audience.

Key Transferable Skills PROFESSIONALISM & COMMUNICATION

I’ve mainly been using Instagram as a way to promote and showcase my work to the public. I have also collaborated with with a student who found me through my Instagram account. I have joined The Dots which will hopefully provide me with more exposure within the industry.

satisfactory

I have uploaded emails and the pdfs I sent out to various companies.

Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

good

You are required to write a 500 word evaluation of this module.

(Please type up your evaluation in this box) This module has been the most intimidating one out of the three this year, because it’s the most most realistic and down to earth module; it’s all about the future and planning ahead, which is something I’ve always dreaded doing because I’m really indecisive. Albeit intimidating, it did force me to reflect on where I am, and more importantly, who I am as a professional illustrator.

I’ve discovered that I really like drawing buildings, and informing my practice through travelling. This has greatly transformed my development as a practitioner as I was able to tailor my visual identity, social media, and portfolio towards a more consistent direction in terms of style and aesthetics. The consolidation of my style could be seen through my branding, and vice versa. I’m a little afraid of saying this but I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come.

My newfound sense of direction has really helped with my confidence as a professional, but I still have a long way to go. I’m still very much afraid of contacting people; but I know I have to get over the fear of being rejected. Another thing I have to improve on is my ability to balance everything that’s on my plate; this year has been the most fruitful but most stressful year, and I’ve realized that I prioritize work over everything else, which led to a series of unnecessary breakdowns and moments of self doubt.

This module has really helped me step out of my comfort zone; not in terms of my work, but as a professional. The skills I’ve acquired during this module will be helping me every step of the way as I graduate and continue my practice.

Evaluation Guidance This should be a reflective summary of your experience across the module -

How did it go? Where did your journey start, where did it end?

I knew very little at the start of this module. At the end of the module I feel that…

-

What learning took place? What was useful to you?

Be specific. New skills? New methods? New processes or approaches? Did you use the blog to reflect on your project development?

-

What went well and why? What did you enjoy? What were you happy with as an outcome?

Be critical and analytical. Why did you enjoy it? Perhaps identify particular sessions?

This could be ideas, solutions to problems, studentship or research. How well did you use the studio? Did you invest enough time in the development and testing of your outcomes?

-

What could you have done better?

What were the problems you faced? What did you do to try to overcome them? This could be in reference to studentship, organization, blogging as much as studio practice.

-

How can you apply what you have learnt here for future modules and projects?

Application and future thinking. Things you would do differently next time? What useful methods, processes and ideas will you take forward into the next module?

You may also want to consider: Self-questioning: How did your thoughts and opinions change as you progressed through the module?

Feedback: What other people (tutors and peers) thought of work and how you responded to that feedback?

Research: Did you use contextual research to inform your ideas, ways of thinking or understanding of the challenges set. This may include further research of your subject matter, slides from the presentations or use of the library.
