would be a great eye opener into how the professionals do it so I could take some inspiration and knowledge back with me to use in my own pro-
jects and impress my own clients.

would call myself a beginner at web design as I just have a basic knowledge of layouts, HTML, CSS, graphical interfaces etc. This would help me gain
experience and understand the step by step process of developing a website for future projects I may have.

What the agency does.

Our first aim is to work with you to fully understand and add value to your brief. We build a detailed picture of your objectives, brand, customers and
competition before submitting a fully costed proposal broken down into stages to completion. We then develop a design strategy to work alongside
and augment your overall business strategy. Our output is targeted at groups of customers through carefully selected channels for maximum ROI.
Gaining your early buy-in by showing you a choice of relevant creative ideas is central to our methodology. Comparing ideas results in better more
informed decisions. Visuals are placed on-line for easy consultation with colleagues. We take your preferred route or a combination of routes and pres-
ent a finished and detailed design concept. On your final approval we move to artwork and programming and then supervise any external production
to ensure the highest quality standards.
Above all our input delivers on your business objectives.

The parts of the agency I think I would enjoy.

“Our mission is not just to design and build your website but
to change the way you think about it and use it. We see your website as a living marketing and relationship building tool integrated with all your
other marcoms activity.

Unfortunately most websites under perform because they are launched with a fanfare and then forgotten. We change all that with a proactive long
term approach to keep your site fresh and competitive and to progressively increase targeted visitor numbers through all channels.”
I think learning about web dev would increase my knowledge and help me proceed in my creative career as it is a huge and constantly growing as-
pect of the industry.

Is this a viable option for my progression?

I certainly think that this agency would be a viable option for my progression as it specialises in all aspects of design so I would create a variety of dif-
ferent projects and designs rather than focusing on one or two as I do now.

Design Specialisms

What is the Design Specialism?

Publishing or advertising for print or the Internet would not be effective without the input from graphic design specialists. A graphic design special-
ist’s understanding and use of combinations of art, words, and color can be applied to designing advertisements, enhancing Web pages, and develop-
ing print content. Keep reading to learn more about the different specialties you could pursue. Schools offering Graphic Design degrees can also be
found in these popular choices. As a graphic design specialist, or graphic designer, you’ll work to visually communicate ideas and concepts through
artistic measures, creative messaging, and computer technology. You can choose among a variety of industries and products that need the services of
a talented professional, such as the following:
Median Salary (2014) $45,900
Job Outlook (2014-2024) 1% growth
Professional Certification Voluntary; a variety of certifications are available through Adobe

The parts of the specialism I think I would enjoy.

Advertising
You can seek a position with an advertising business or a marketing company. Your duties could involve working with sales and creative personnel to
develop promotional content, catchy slogans, attractive flyers, and commercials that stick in one’s mind; these might appear in print or on television.
You might also focus on design for manufacturers, crafting distinctive logos that make people remember the product. For these jobs, you might be
working as an independent contractor or find a salaried position.
This aspect of design specialism is certainly the route I’d go down if I was to potray my career.

Is this a viable option for my progression?

This is a viable option for my progression as becoming a design specialist would make me titled as a professional graphic designer, therefore earning
alot and doing what I love to do.

the make believe” — is such a great tagline.
When you land on Coleman’s site, you immediately see a concise—if
too-wide—block of copy above a slider. The slider represents a spec-
trum running from “Less Hard Sell” to “More Hard Sell.” Grab the control
(or just click on the slider itself ), and watch the text transform to fit
your preferred level of “sell.”

overwhelming and fatiguing to scroll through. It’s an unfortunate distraction from his amazing
work. The quantity of these animations also can decrease the load times of these pages. We
only have so much time to keep someone’s attention and anything that takes us away from
the immediacy of a page may lose a user.

The one-page portfolio site is a tricky thing to pull off, but Kfouri succeeds well in giving his colourful and impactful visuals – including single images

Evaluation
Evaluation of findings

Discuss why communication and presentation skills are important for progression within art and design education or related employment
Communication and presentation will help with delivering project proposals and it will help with understanding other people’s thoughts and opinions.
Bad communication will result in a bad outcome, for example if you’re giving a bad presentation to your potential boss/clients then they’ll think that the presentation you just delivered will be reflected in the quality of your
work which isn’t true. Verbal communication will help with interviews too, if you have bad communication skills then it will be picked up on in interviews and may result in a declined interview/job position.

Comparing communication and presentation styles

Compare all the communication and presentation styles we have looked at in unit 9, also choose a favourite that you think is most effective and a least favourite and explain. Dicuss how they can help. Relate it
back to being a designer and design student...

CV:
A CV will help the agency determain whether you are fit for purpose and it allows yourself to stand out from the rest and impress.

Cover Letter:
A cover letter creates an instant judgment of yourself to your potential work place so it is very important that is done well and efficiently

Digital Portfolio:
Portfolios are the most important communication/presentation style and always will be. It is presenting people with your past work and skills. Without a portfolio people
won’t be able to judge your style of work and abilities leaving you without a creative job.

Presentation / Critques:
Presentations are very important which allow you to show off your communication skills and delivery to others which is an important tool to have while working in the
creative industry.

Interviews:
Without knowledge on interviews and experience in them then there is a downfall of chance of getting your aspired job role because it allows the boss to understand

2 Year Action Plan
Aims for the next 2 years

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

If I couldn’t fail I would proceed to university to gain a degree in graphic design and go on to obtain futhur high-
er qualifications in the same field of study.

Is anything holding you back and if so, how could you change this?
I think my motivation levels are holding me back, I could possibly change this by setting myself targets and goals
or even personal treats like if I pass a course I’d take myself on holiday.

What do you want to have realistically achieved by the end of 2 years?

Realistically speaking, I’d like to have obtained an extended diploma in Graphic Design which is the equivelant to
an A level qualification.
What are your options and priorities for the next 2 years?
My options are quite closed, however I want to stay on the Graphic Design course I’m currently on and achieve
the best outcome I can by working very hard and defeating my lack of motivation.
Create a realistic vision of your future, which takes into account your work and your life:
My vision for my future is passing my graphic design course, and either getting a job with that qualification or
go to univeristy to study it in greater detail with a higher qualification which will enable me to be a professional
graphic design with a much more open doored future with many job opputunities.

Overall:
By the end of 2 years I would like to pass the course, I will do this by trying my hardest in the course. The only help I’d like is guidance and to be informed exactly what I need to do to pass.
