- 15. Academic History • Insecondary school I got a lot more hands-on with the projects I was doing. When I picked my GCSE's I picked both Media and Graphic Design. The media portion taught me how to manipulate moving image and video work as well as magazine work and print based projects. This helped me to learn about my target audiences and how to appeal to them. The Graphic Design portion taught me how to make a product that will actually function and work in the real work and this was a great feeling that something that I made digitally can actually be in the physical world and work as a product.
- 16. Current Study • Thecollege course that I am currently on has prepared me well for life in University, especially the courses that I have chose as they are a majority coursework based which is good for me as I am not the best at exams, I am much better at creating something larger to present at the end of a year rather than one performance to show what I know about the subject.
- 17. The Future • AfterI have finished the course I would ideally like to go into a job with Graphic Design as a focus as it is something I enjoy and would be fun to do as a job. I really enjoy creating things that can be manifested in real life and I think that this would be a great opportunity to get into the world of media.
- 18. Outside College • Outsideof college I work part time, I usually work around 20hrs a week, this means multiple shifts through the week so I have learnt to manage my time very well between college and work. This has helped me to learn about how important managing my time is and has helped realise this faster than I probably would have otherwise.
- 19. Conclusion • I wantto go to University as it will give me more knowledge in the area of media and this will also help me to understand more about the world of media. University will also help me to get a job in the world of media as a lot of jobs in media like employees to have a University degree.
- 20. Introduction • I haveapplied for courses in media as this is a topic that really speaks to me and really interests me as today we live in a world that can be so massively influenced and I think that to take a part of that would be really exciting and learn more about this topic.
