P2- Evaluate your own qualities
a) Personal Characteristics
- Committed
- Caring
- Understanding
- Hard working
- Good at communicating
b) Skills
- Can use Adobe Photoshop
- Can use Adobe Premier
- Can use Adobe Illustrator
- Can use Adobe Aftereffects
- Work well in a working environment
- Good at art
- Good at working with disabled children
c) Relevant achievements
- Working with disabled children- I used to work with a disabled boy for a year. I had to teach him everyday activities that would be easy for any able child eg. eating, drinking, smiling, frowning, grasping different objects etc.
- Using different softwares- I have recently created a documentary which shows a demonstration of both premier and photo shop. The documentary is about Life on the river cam, showing the audience about punters and how the inside of the job really is. I used premier to construct the documentary and I used photoshop to make the title sequence.
d) Experience and interests
-I have worked in many different jobs and have experienced different working environments. My most recent job is working as a tourguide on the river cam. I have to give an informative speech about all of the colleges in Cambridge and push a boat with a pole at the same time. In order to do this I have to have good people skills, an understanding of speech (foreign accents) good at answering questions on the spot and good at projecting my voice for people to hear.
- I am mostly interested in the graphic design industry along side editing and creativity. I hope to one day create my own digital portrait business and employ many colleagues to help me achieve my goal successfully.
Strengths
In terms of strengths I have many skills that I think will help me within graphic design. I can use softwares such as Photoshop, final cut, after effects, adobe illustrator and premier pro. This will help me in my future because it is an asset that I already have and will not need to learn. I have good communication skills which will help me build my business by being remembered by certain people. I can also create my own advertisement which will help push my business into the right direction and also save some money.
Weaknesses
I think that the only real weakness that I have is starting by myself and putting all the weight on my shoulders. In order to have a successful business I need to be able to afford all the equipment. This will take a lot of time to do but this can be solved by working hard and setting myself deadlines to be able to achieve this.

I have also built my own web page which shows a variety of work i have completed and will help advertise work in the future.
http://annushkasims.my-free.website/
http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/ - this is another website where i can advertise my work for a free trial. This will be an idea to test my work and see if the media i am creating is as popilar as i expect it to be.

P4- Flow diagram
My main plan is to set up my own business within Graphic Design seeking to engage new clients and complete personalised work for individuals. I have set out some of the equipment needs and skills i need to develop in order to reach my aim on setting up a small graphic design company.
I have contingency plans to attend Bath Spa University if I did this I would aim to continue to develop my outside client base and freelance work. As highlighted in my audit, along side both of these options I will build my photographic portfolio by taking pictures mostly of portraiture and landscapes to show a diverse collection within my portfolio.
Various things i need to reach this goal would be:
Transport-

I
will book my theory test and buy a car for when I need the transport. I wont need transport 24/7 as most of my work will be digital based and I can e-mail work. When I am eventually finished a piece of work I will print my final piece onto a canvas and then transport will be necessary.
