P4. Career and Study Options Flow Diagram
What Uni Will I Go To?
My two preferred universities I would like to go, to are Lincoln University and Falmouth University to study fashion. Or I will apply for a Foundation year either the Arts Foundation at Long Road or Fashion Foundation at Newham college.
Apprenticeship Schemes that I will Apply for?
I will be looking on unlist.com for any jobs from apprenticeship schemes or assistant stylist that I can apply for:Its clear from my flow chart that I would like to work in the fashion industry and hopefully make it as a fashion designer mainly.
Addressing Skills and Resource Needs:
After college is to go to university to get a degree in fashion design most of the courses I looked at has a sandwich year where there's a chance for you to get work experience and make contacts for after you leave university. At university I will have access to the resource I dont have such as,a graphic tablet, laser cutter, 3D printer, camera lenses, models/actors/ contacts, funds and lighting. However, previously stated in my resource audit although i might have access I might still have to fund them myself if its external work that I am using them for, to build experience for my career choice outside of University. Also at university I will have tutors that can give me feed back and have workshops to advance my skills that I am lacking in, such as- to develop my confidence more in expanding my basic knowledge in the Adobe Suite, so that I can create high quality projects. However independently I can work on them by using tutorials on youtube to teach myself.
another way is after college is to do freelancing as fashion designer, meaning I will be employing myself so that I can be hired out to operate carers and e.g. to London Fashion Week then showcase my work on YouTube or web page and hopefully get recognized and then apply for a join in the fashion industry. Another is to get a job in the fashion industry as an assistant internship and then work my way up the ladder- by doing so I might need go back to university to take MA course so that I am qualified. Also while being in a job putting aside money so I could fund my self when starting up my own business, which I can collaborate with people I know with the same background in media textiles and business to develop the business.
However if plans don't go accordingly I think that I will chose another field within in the fashion industry. But if not then I think that I will then chose to become a freelance in my own time an just design garments for people that I know want a one off a kind garment e.g great place and season is in South Africa summertime when metric students having their farewell, as a hobby with funding from my job. Then to showcase my work I can upload final garments to Facebook and Instagram page dedicated to my freelancing work and inspiration advertising myself to draw in future clients.

P2. Evaluate My Own Qualities
Personal characteristics:
I am a driven, creative, and motivated to achieve my goals.
I would say I’m outgoing, and I have good communication skill, I can work well
independently as well, as working well in groups. I would describe myself as
organised and punctual, and I strive to put my best into everything that I do.
Skills
I am skillful in Adobe software such as Photoshop, Premiere
Pro, Illustrator, and After Effects. Skills I wish to develop and improve are
working with actors, learning more action verbs for directing, and
understanding the technical side of things better in cameras and editing
software.
Relevant achievements
I have achieved over the year, Producing a music video, self directed and cinematography and edit documentary and done a advertising campaign for Backstitch store in Cambridgeshire. Other work experience that i have gained is working at the race course in Newmarket catering and heath and beauty retail at savors all of these jobs have given me transferal skills: working well as a unit, independent responsibilities, great customer service, dealing with money and stock, and social skills. However I would like to get a job that more fashion orientated.

Experience and interests
2014, I traveled to South Africa on holiday, I managed to
use my time wisely and get work experience with my Aunt designing, making and
tailoring farewell gowns. I continue to develop my craft by working with a year
7 textiles class by demonstrating to them the importance of simple stitching
techniques and assisting them on their visual presentation.
My strengths are Fashion Textiles and Media. Having spent
most of my time with relatives that make their own clothes because their sizes aren't
available, I have become empathetic to oversized people. Also have secondary and further education
in textiles and media. I mostly enjoy going to Exhibitions to get new ideas.
I would like to develop my confidence more in expanding my
basic knowledge in the Adobe Suite, so that I can create high quality projects.
Also giving presentations to a group of people to persuade the audience.
As well as fashion design, my other interests include
styling, photography, and art this includes a wide range of mixed media to abstract
drawings and paintings. I also enjoy travelling and learning about new
cultures.
