Overall, in PPP this year I've learnt and realised of what I really want to do after graduation. I found what truly interest me as a designer and the field of design(s) that I want to further explore and refine my skills at. I also learn a lot more technical stuff about being a designer like handling legal terms and conditions, invoices, how to properly 'sell' myself to employers and clients. And, because of these, I think I've successfully created a cohesive and representative personal branding for my personal practice. I think the collateral that I've created is representative of me and is also reflective of the work that I do. I think definitely, I've also become more confident with my skills, and my networking and communicating skills have improved and made me want to collab with people more!
One thing that was really disappointing was the fact hat I couldn't do a work placement. Because of my initial scheduling for it to be in easter, and the pandemic which no one really expected I could not get a placement. Although, I did attend some talks online, being able to experience the workspace and to communicate and learn in person is just so different that listening online. If I was to do anything different this year it would probably be to do my placement earlier or in summer! :(
Through PPP I've also realised that realistically I'm not ready to work get a studio job, through my current portfolio, barely any experience and our current climate. Therefore, during my time after graduating I will continue to refine my portfolio by doing more personal projects, collabs and possible commissions to have a stronger more confident portfolio that i can show to clients/employers in the future.
