Study Task 02 - Why am I here - What do I want to learn?

Identify and explain 5 reasons why you chose to study on this course?
  • To learn Graphic Design, because I have heard so much positive review about this University from so many people. I also searched up the top 10 Art Universities and this was the one of them. Whilst reading through the prospective of Graphic Design course, it had what I wanted learn and do in the future.  
  • To expand my skills and knowledge on this course. LCA is well known for its amazing equipment so with this I can explore and investigate these skills and knowledge and apply them here. 
  • Inspired by other Graphic Designers. I always loved Art, but Graphic Design really stuck with me as the course is quite diverse and I could combine different media together.
  • To study what I enjoy doing and my talent. I've always loved doing Art subjects, in highs school I did Art and Graphic Products, and in A-levels I did Art and Graphic Design. But my stronger side compared to the two, was Graphics and my family/friends always said that I should go with something that I enjoy doing as I do so well in it.
  • And to be successful hopefully in this profession. I want to learn about Graphic Design more so I can do things that my inspirational Graphic designers do and hopefully to publish my own artwork in public. 
Identify and explain 5 things that you want to learn during your time on the course?
  • Advertising, is more diverse job to do and society has advertisements everywhere.
  • Printing, learning a new skill will be helpful, if I wanted to specialised in anything else.
  • Packaging, I've done some in high school, but it could be helpful if I knew more and create some because I did enjoy it.
  • Branding, learning can help me expand more on advertising.
  • Multimedia, working with Multimedia can demonstrate that I am very flexible in any job situation.
Identify and explain 5 things that you think are your strengths?
  • Drawing, if I have an idea I can quickly picture it and draw it out and my sketching is quite good.
  • Photoshop/Illustrator, I had some experience using these Adobe softwares in  A-level, so I know how to make vectors, use effects etc.
  • Essay Writing, as I did English combine in A-level, I know how to plan my essay and pick out the most important quotes which are significant to the text question. 
  • Organised, I believe I am quite organised with my work, I make a list of things I have to do and then I will tick them off once I've completed it. I also write deadlines on my calendar so I know when things need to be done. 
  • Creativity, I believe I have a good amount of creativity or imagination in my mind, however it can be a bit ambiguous sometimes. 
Identify and explain 5 things you would like to improve?
  • Time management, sometimes I procrastinate with my work. This is a bit of a problem as I don't get more work done than I wanted to. 
  • Confidence, I'm a very shy and quiet person. I don't really like speaking in front of a class or small group either because I don't think I'm able to present my work verbally well and I get quite pressured when I have a lot of eyes on me. But I am improving a bit from being in this course for a month. 
  • Researching skills, I think I am average. But I could be better, its difficult for me to find some resources like books in Libraries.
  • Speaking more, again I am a very shy and quiet person and I'm not fond of speaking in front of a lot of people.
  • Skills in Photoshop, even though I have had some experience with Photoshop. I don't think I know everything about it.
Identify and explain 5 things that inspire you?
  • Other Graphic Designers/Companies work, while doing a task in LCA about different Studios. I did some of my own research as the one Simon suggested really interested me and made me think I wanted to try some of those.
  • LCA Peers work, inspire me a lot. When we do our crits and show each others work, I get inspired to get better and improve. Also I like looking at other peoples artwork. 
  • Music, like music videos or album covers inspire me as I love they are laid out and presented. 
  • Exhibitions/Galleries, influence me as my artwork could be in this.
  • Adverts in society and TV, they are everywhere in public. I look at them for some inspiration if I have a studio brief or study task to do.
