Through my various courses I have decided that Graphics Design is were my interest lies. This
interest has grown during the completion of several projects that has contained the use of
computer graphics. This is why I have decided to apply for this course, as it would give me
the opportunity to further develop my skills in this area. I believe completing a University
Degree course in Graphics Design would give me the perfect platform to build a career from. It
would give me the knowledge, confidence and experience necessary when pursuing a career in
this area. As I have already completed the first two years of a Creative Digital Communication
Degree, I already have the background knowledge that will prove useful when completing the
last year. I believe that whilst studying at Harrogate College I also gained sufficient
knowledge in key areas of information technology and communication skills that will be a vital
tool when studying Graphics Design.
I am a hard working and motivated individual that is willing to face any challenges that I
come across. My main interests are photography, social media and I am also a keen sportsman. I
believe photography is an important skill when studying Graphics Design, which is something I
found out when completing a six-week course in Digital Photography at Bar Lane Studio’s. I am
also hoping to enhance my knowledge in this area when completing a placement with a local
photographer. I have started compiling a portfolio of photographic images that I have been
building up over time. This includes a series of photos taken when touring Europe in my gap
year, which gave me an opportunity to capture a vast variety of images.
I am also interested in sports, playing football on a weekly basis. I believe this gives me
the skills to work as a team player and have regularly put myself forward as a team leader.
These are skills I believe translate well when working and gives me the confidence to come
forward with my ideas.
I’m still adding to my portfolio and thinking on how i can improve it.
