Okay then so we've had an introduction to me, now let's have
an introduction to the project . It's not essential but I have a certain way of
doing things and that involves introductions and check-lists, It's the way I
pick apart a brief and understand what I'm actually meant to of learnt and what
I'm supposed to have at the end. I like things organised.
I don't have OCD but seeing as this post is just for my benefit for organising maybe I will share with you some of my OCD tendencies.
The aim of this project is to gain and understanding of
professional practice within the creative industry.
This covers things such as learning how to promote myself
through marketing strategies, websites, portfolios, CV& cover letters.
Branding myself by producing a logo and
business cards. This is to build a positive reputation for myself and maximise
employment opportunities.
I do not like old fabric, I don't like scraps and I cannot touch most items in a charity shop. It really makes me feel ill.
This unit will also provide me with the knowledge adhere to
employment law and health and safety law. I will learn how to: produce
invoices, income and expenditure forms I will create a risk assessment and
apply for appropriate insurance through researching current health and safety
regulations. I will also research the
support and benefits of joining relevant
unions and bodies.
All of this is to allow me to understand the demands on this
industry and how to function within it.
My diary is sorted using small coloured sticky dots there are 4 different colours I use to represent different things such as work or Uni.
