P5- Letter to employer

P4- Flow diagram

Personal Plan-

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.

Contacts-
Graphic Design- kate@littledc.com
Art Skills- nikkisimsart@hotmail.com

These contacts will help me start my business with giving me advice within the business angle of setting up my own work.

Clients-
jowright@btinternet.com
reapearson@hairbotique.com
charm@btconnect.com

I will create pieces of work for half price for the customers I have already composed art work for in the past. This will help me gain cliental within my local area. I will also use my website to gain customers and ask Nikki Sims' help set me in the right direction business wise.

Work Place-

To be able to afford this equipment I will carry on with my current Job: working on the river Cam as a tour guide and eventually save up £3,500 to afford everything above.

P5- Personal statement

Words, Speech, Art. These are all perfect examples of how humanity has evolved. What would the world be like without these devices? Communication is key. Within my two years, studying creative media at sixth form, I have learnt how to communicate with the public using many different platforms.

This course excites me; knowing that eventually I will have the skill set to ‘wow’ people with my work after being released into the world. I will be able to entertain and grasp the attention of other human beings through what I have created and be proud of it. Whichever path I am to choose I know that I love to: excite people, please people and (occasionally) make them cry! What better way to impact peoples’ emotions than through my work?

This course will be perfect for me; I like to communicate with people, I enjoy others company, I like to inspire, influence and inform people in a dynamic way. I have experienced all these skills as a part time tour guide in Cambridge on the river Cam. I learnt to deliver an interesting, historical presentation with my aim to engage and inform customers about the iconic landmarks in Cambridge whilst punting. This also illustrates my leadership, which I could bring to the course along side my confidence with public speaking. Punctuality was key to the job, arriving at work on time was extremely important which has now taught me to be punctual and excited to work.

 I have a sensitive nature and I’m keen to listen to others opinions. I also work well with a group and I enjoy finding solutions. I have worked with children and specifically I worked with a disabled little boy, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I had to take on responsibilities such as: dressing him, feeding him through a feeding tube, helping him with everyday tasks that others can complete with no problems (grasping objects etc.) This was voluntary work but I made it my priority to see him every week and help him.

In my free time I like to write and sing songs, which I then record, edit and publish on social media websites. I also like to watch films. Travelling interests me because of diverse cultures and places. I create paintings that feature crazy colours and animals along side my experimenting with media make up.


I’m very excited about University because I am passionate about pursuing a path in something that I enjoy and love; I see that university will give me the experience and devices I need to be successful and enjoy my future career.
