The last year was really an adjustment year for me, really stepping up to a more business like pace.. hopefully leading towards showing and getting me comfortable with full industry speed. Which already has started happening in 2 year. My real overall aim with this course has been to sharpen my design skills and give me a firm grasp of the coding side, enabling me to create anything I would want to, how I want to. For this reason I've been glad the first assignment has been CSS, I've been eager over the years to get into the development side a lot more, using CSS, PHP, Javascript. The main reason being because it makes me more employable. And since I'm passionate about the Design sides, I feel developer is just another notch on the resume.
Which brings me to next year's aspirations, hoping to have a place on the Huddersfield Multimedia course. I'm choosing this because it'll give me a wider range of skills and abilities, hoping to have a notch over my competition on employability factors. At Huddersfield they teach 3D modelling and animation, something I've dabbled with in the past and something I'd like to really get into. It would enable me to take simple graphics to a whole new level, giving me that edge over the thousands of freelance designers out there.
In the long term future I'd hope to work for a large (in client) niche design company, a bit like The Design Republic. Hopefully with like minded people with similar abilities and could be part of pushing the boundaries of design.. right now I'm sticking within them for the firm skill foundations. One day maybe even free lance.
