First of all, looking at the Creative Report, this was an extremley useful brief and exercise to carry out as I learnt a lot from it. It allowed me to explore and gain a further insight into both the creative industry and the education system, allowing me to bring my two interests together. I have also gained more contacts and got better at emailing and networking through this. As well as this I have also managed to get work experience as a result of contacting the interviewees, in both a primary school and secondary school. Parts of the creative report, as well as it being successful, there were also areas which were unsuccessful such as not receiving responses or people being too busy, however this was all a learning curve and allowed me to practice my communication skills.
Secondly, looking at the pitch, the presentation of it, working as a team and the actual designing The pitch and presentation itself was professional and successful in terms of how we shared our ideas, however the success of the design idea itself didn’t reach it’s potential and I feel with more time we could have developed it further. It was also interesting to take on such an open and large brief, which impacted us and our fellow peers and students. It was exciting to have no boundaries, however this did make it hard as there was infinite possibilities and it was difficult to hone in on the most important aspects. Pitching and presenting wise, it definitely was an experience to reflect on as it was the first chance we had been given to pitch. It was great to have an opportunity to have an insight into what being a part of a studio and creative team and also see what it could be like to pitch to real clients and companies. It definitely increased my confidence with presenting to large numbers of people and I feel every time I do it, I get better and it gets easier. Overall it was a great exercise to learn from, as it was our first time and I’m excited to practice and get more confident at sharing and pitching ideas, whilst also being better at thinking bigger with no limitations.
The PPP presentation, i feel went well and again allowed me to practice and develop my presenting skills and confidence in talking about myself and my ideas. It also allowed me to look at the things I have achieved this year, some things which I had forgotten about. Some of the main things being, working with young creatives, entering and winning competitions and communicating and networking with people.
In terms of my PPP blog, I have drawn upon contemporary graphic design which has inspired and interested me throughout the year. I have also included talks which have inspired me and the people who carried those out. It also shows the process of designing the pitch, evaluating on the year and other modules, how to improve and evidence of networking and what I’ve gained from this module as a whole.
In conclusion, this year I have really developed my communication, networking and presenting skills. I also feel like I have thought a lot more about my rams for the future and become a lot more open minded about the possibilities. Which has allowed me to take interest in a range of subjects, such as education, teaching, marketing and designing, which this module has helped me to gain experience in, contacting people and as a result I have experience for over the Summer in a range of settings and I am excited for next year and what the future has to bring.
