FrontBack Providing designs for Salseros Unite as well as lens-based content has made me evaluate which of the two disciplines is my strongest. The Instagram graphics along with the flyer design are sufficient, but don’t stand-out. They fulfil the client’s brief of being minimal and communicating the cause of Red Nose Day, and the information…… Continue reading Salseros Unite Final Designs | Reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses

Writing an Invoice
Some voluntary work for Human Aquarium led to being commissioned making a film about the exhibition to be used for a funding application. In previous employment, I had emailed my ‘invoice’ within the email text. However, I was given the advice that this was a very insecure way of sharing my personal data. The Human…… Continue reading Writing an Invoice
Communication & Professionalism
Something I am becoming aware of is the challenge of keeping my personal and professional life separate. Although I would like to use my university email address as my ‘work’ email address, it will not be available to me after graduating, so I could risk losing contacts by using it as my primary email now.…… Continue reading Communication & Professionalism

Reflecting on Formative Feedback
It’s encouraging to have received such a positive response to my work so far. However, I can also see where I have sacrificed development in some areas to give time to others. For example – I have been very pro-active with networking in the local environmental/social sector – doing lots of voluntary work to gain…… Continue reading Reflecting on Formative Feedback
Priorities & Time Management | Reflecting on tutorial
At today’s tutorial I presented the following concerns: I am working on numerous projects – all of which I am enjoying and interested in. However, the number of projects I am involved in means I am not able to dedicate much time to each. All of the projects are live briefs, which are helping me…… Continue reading Priorities & Time Management | Reflecting on tutorial
BTS Videography | Reviewing Final Outcomes
https://youtu.be/G5CA7U3Qfck https://youtu.be/LHDcWTa795A Main points of learning: I felt the pressure of a fast turnaround – these edits had the purpose of promoting an exhibition launching in less than a week from the shoot day. Of the five of us, I was the only group member that produced a finished outcome suitable for using as promotion…… Continue reading BTS Videography | Reviewing Final Outcomes
Videography for Yorkshire Life Aquatic | Networking & preparing filming paperwork
Last module I attended Hubbub’s networking event ‘Living with Less Plastic’, where I met Lucy Meredith from Yorkshire Life Aquatic. We discussed my project Green Guide Leeds, and how it may have a place in the upcoming exhibition she was organising The Human Aquarium. I followed up our conversation with an email, which meant that…… Continue reading Videography for Yorkshire Life Aquatic | Networking & preparing filming paperwork
