Class Tasks

This posts consists of the different tasks we did as a class over the module. The images below is the paper research that I discussed with my tutors Talya and Cath during the first half of the module. We did this when creating our business cards to explore which material of paper would be best for us. we looked at the different point sizes of the paper and thickness of it. The screenshots below are of the paper company called G.F Smith.

The next task that we discussed as a class was the resume video we watched as a class. This was to inspire our thinking and what we could possibly create for our cv. The CV could be traditional or a Design CV. We could also design both. The links we looked at are below.

The next task I participated in was the draft interviews we completed as groups of three I worked with two of my class mates called Zain and Dean. During the draft interviews we would have one of us being the interviewer, the interviewee and the writer. The writer would write how well we did and what we didn’t do so well on. This would help us establish our strengths and weaknesses and prepare us for real interviews in future. The image of the interview questions asked are below.

As one of the class tasks we also looked into jobs in our field and applied for them using our cv’s. The jobs I looked into and applied for are below. I looked at jobs such as graphic designer for retailers such as boohoo, pretty little thing and River Island. I also looked at UCAS PGCE guidelines and requirements as that’s something I would like to do in future and eventually go into teaching Graphic Design.
