18. Academic History
• When I started the creative media course it has
helped me to improve my skills as using
Photoshop. I believe that my recent products are
a lot better than my old projects, even the quality
of it has change and at university I think I will be
able to improve even more so that my projects in
the future can be a lot more professional and
unique. College has also helped me to achieve my
communication skills as English isn’t my first
language, I feel more confident and positive. I
always felt confused when the subject was about
my future and college helped me to decide which
areas I’m good at and what I really would like to
do in the future.
19. Current Study
• Since I started this course it helped me to
decided what I wanted to practice at
university. This course has helped me increase
my skills as communication and professional, I
believe that it has being such a good influence
into my life and my personal style as making
me feel confident than I was before. It helped
me to develop my ideas in different areas in
creative media production, now I know what I
would like to be producing in the future.
20. The Future
• I want to be able to show my ideas to the
world. While I was growing up I’ve always
enjoyed interior design, I always liked to plan
how my future house would be. I also like
print media and I which that this two courses
were connected but my passion is in interior
design. I believe that in the university I will be
always able to learn more, to improve my
methods whereas as graphic designer or
interior designer.
21. Outside College
• I have a part time job in a café in town
whereas at the moment I’m only working on
weekends. Sometimes my friends or family ask
me to do some creative work as invitations or
some things in the Photoshop. I usually like
doing this small things because it improves my
skills and I’m always able to show my products
and my experiences by helping them.
22. Conclusion
• I want to go to university so that I could gain
more experiences in the area that I’m interested
on as designer. I think it would give me a better
knowledge for the future.
• I would also experiment and gain skills which in
my opinion increase the job possibilities in the
future.
• I’m hard worker, creative and quick learner.
Sometimes I can be perfectionist but I think this is
part of my personality of wanting a good product.
23. Introduction
• In interior design I will be able to stay connect
with design which I think has made a huge
impact in my life. I want to go to university so
that I can be able to explore different areas
which will give me a better future as I wanted
a profession that would let me be creative. I
also think that graphic design is a good option
but in design I would be more interested in
print media because I feel that it is what I have
more experiences.
