End of Year evaluation

This year has been a productive one for many reasons, one example would be the way I approach briefs, I now focus heavily on research and development unlike last year also my technical skills have improved drastically and my knowledge of when to apply certain certain skills has also improved.

I have learnt many things this year such as;

. The importance of theory

. How too deal with clients and carry yourself around such clients

. That if I am struggling to come up with ideas, I haven't researched enough

. Interaction with clients can ensure you produce the work they want

. Time management is essential and will help produce better work if dealt with properly

. Time sheets and time plans will definitely help with getting payed 

Overall this year i have produced more weather it's been for college work or actual live briefs and this has been a direct consequence of hard work and long hours, this had made me realise that although the graphic design spectrum is broad, it is in fact like any other trade in a sense that if you don't do the work or know your area/expertise you won't have a job or be successful.
