What area of your discipline do you want to
go into?
I would like to go into Advertising and Branding or be an
Art director in the publishing industry. I just believe I would really enjoy
doing these jobs, so I think it’s the best pathway to look at something in
these areas.
What transferable skills did you gain from
your degree?
While doing my Graphics communication degree I have
collected up numerous skills I will be able to transfer into a design related
job, but some skills I will have gained I will be able to use for other jobs
that are not even art/design related.
I should have developed appropriate self-confidence, and
have enough creative practice for employment or further study. Understand
social, economic, technological and historical determinants of my own work and
others. Able to evaluate, manipulate and manage information from a wide range
of sources and gain a critical and analytical approach to research. To be good
at time management and set goals for myself to mange my work load. Be able to
be confident enough to create diverse range of ideas, solutions and proposals.
I should have gained the skills that allow me to work either independently
and/or collaboratively.
What postgraduate courses could I do?
To do a postgraduate course I would have to be 100%
committed to it, not to rush into it just because I don’t know what else to do
after I finish university. But if I was to study at a postgraduate level, I
would be able to increase my knowledge, gained a higher qualification meaning I
have a deeper understanding and knowledge improving my chance of having a
career in the subject or I could change my career by gaining skills in a new
area/subject either way its increasing earning potential.

After finishing my degree the possibilities available to me
are endless I could look for work at graphic design firms, advertising agencies
or other companies or I could be freelance worker/self employed. However I
would much rather prefer to be an employee, as I think it would give me more
motivation and enjoyment out of work, being around others. Depending on the medium a designer can
specialise in a variety of roles such as, print publications, web publishing,
Online marketing and Entertainment. I wouldn’t mind going in to advertising and
branding, or to do something slightly different like be interior designer.
