Exercise 1 - Self Audit

Consider the following questions:

What have you enjoyed? Participating in completing a project as a team, particularly in publications when we designed a magazine.

What have you found most intellectually stimulating?
All aspects of photography and publications.

What have you excelled at?
Photography.

What has provided you with the most lasting satisfaction?
Photo Fashion required me to design my own concepts, style and organise my own shoots and then work them into a fashion spread. I very much enjoy seeing my concept turn into a finish product.

What do you think your particular skills are? Try and think beyond technical skills?
I am easy to get along with, this will serve me well in the field of photography.

Where would you like to be next year? In 10 years time?
Next year I would like to be living in Europe, I have no for sight for ten years from now.
What do you secretly fantasise about, career-wise?
Working in New York as a fashion photographer.

If you won lotto what would you do with yourself for the next 20 years?
Travel to every country.

What about you?:

What seems exciting - what rings your bell - even if you know very little about it?

What do you find difficult?
The feeling that my skills are not up to par for some of the programs.

What makes you anxious?
Suspense

Some other questions:
What is design?
It is many things to different people, to sum it up in a sentence; it transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.

What is its point?
Effectively communication.

What’s the point of being a designer? What’s good about it? What sucks?
It is an interesting and challenge job. Completing a project and being happy with it is the most satisfying feeling, however getting stuck with ideas and running out of time sucks.

Where is design going? What new ways will it develop over the next 5-10 years?
Design is headed even further into the digital world over the next ten years.

Which designers do you admire/idolise? Why? Is it the work they produce, their design- process, or something else?
Georges Antoni is a great photographer with a great attitude.
