I have been given new project assignments!! 15th January

Today we have been given 2 new written assignments along with a small research task. Both new written assignments look great so i cannot wait to get stuck into them.

Project Proposal Brief

You are asked to research and identify areas of progression for your self, these should include 3^rd year opportunities, job searches / applications, and may include plans for further in the future. Your research should be annotated and reflected upon.

After the first research stage you should use the information found to plan a work based project (that will meet the criteria for Exploring specialist pathway 2 and will take place during the planned module time – see module timetable), this may be a self initiated exhibition or a client / competition brief, but must help your progression needs.

This brief is great as I can take it in any way which I choose as long as it helps me to develop my progression needs as a designer. Now that I have received this brief I need to do my research into my progression needs and decide what sort of project I would like to do.

Visual Studies Project

Everyone has been given the new visual studies brief today which is 'Self Promotion' however I have already done this project in my 1st year therefore me and Lance are going to arrange a tutorial to talk about what I can do for visual studies instead of this project.

Self employment research task

We have also been given a small research task which will only take a few days to do. We need to research different sections covered within self employment including: health & safety, insurance, contracts, registering, money etc. Once this information is gathered I will then need to analyse it and then in my own words write a small summary of my findings. This should hopefully be a quick task which will not take me too long.
