First slide will be the last slide from last years presentation which will demonstrate how I was last year and where I wanted to progress to for second year and if I have achieved it.
I feel like this year I have managed my time more to accomplish what I want from the course.
This means I've been setting up more self indicated deadlines to meet module deadlines.
Tried more to show my work and ask people for feedback on pieces even if it's through messenger.
Didn't change every part of my work and just kept parts that I could back up with reasonings as to why the design decision is what it is.
This year I found the interface design difficult. I have identified it as something that I probably wouldn't specialise in but tried to be as ambitious as possible with the design and concept in that project.

- Engagement with industry:
Glug
Was an event I went to last year which was full of creative talks and professionals explaining how they got into industry. We watched talks from Alec Dudson of Intern Magazine, the ladies from up and coming movement SheDoesDigital, Matt Essam of Creative Life, brothers turned business partners Matthew and Daniel Tweddle of Only, and author of the Human Freelancer - Chris Kenworthy. This was a career clinic - keeping leeds talent in leeds based talk so it was helpful to see how people started their journeys and wanting to keep the artists here instead of feeling like they need to move to London to pursue an artistic career.
It was nice listening to peoples journeys and this helped motivate me because a lot of people started or did a degree completely irrelevant to what they were doing so if they can start small and just pursuing something they are passionate about then anyone can. Studio 12 were also extremely helpful as they spoke about start ups and helping people pursue their creative endeavours such as if they wanted to produce or had specific ambitions in mind they help people with their resources and push them to achieve their ambitions. It is a place to experiment with your talent and they have workshops and opportunities available. Their services include film, graphic design, music production, photography and masterclass and hot desk.
I maintained my tea and talks blog from last year which is a series of creative talks from students and professionals because it's good to get an insight on what it's like beginning your practise from the perspective of a student and what industry is like from a professional view.

- What I'm good at
Networking
Conceptual thinking
I really enjoyed OUGD504 - I created a colouring in book called colour in new york which I bought in a bulk of 25 to sell on my shop and I have two left. I enjoyed the process of working with a manufacture to physically produce a book.
