December 2021

FEELINGS

- Continued feelings of motivation and interest for my Stage 1.

- Also feelings of stress however. Trying to manage a retail job at christmas, with a social life, university work and actually having a break was difficult.

- Comfortable and happy with the university access available on the break, including to the resources we were given on the christmas break.

- Happy I am organised and have arranged the primary research for the stage 1 project.

EXPERIENCE

- Continuing to work on Stage 1 assignment.

- Continued research into literature review - completed annotated bibliography which really helped.

- Broke up for christmas however also worked within the city over the christmas break.

- Planned a schedule for univeristy work and having a break - life balance is very important.

- Organised and started primary research linking to the findings from the research gap.

- Continued to work on Brand Me research and visuals, trying to come up with images which link and inspire me.

WHAT I AM TAKING AWAY

- Being organised really does help my own confidence and is the way i work best. I credit myself for being on top of things as well as having a good plan in place.

- Its always important to have a break.

- When the holidays are over i want tto continue “on the grind” and spend time in the library and continue to use the resources available to me.

- Continue to think about brand me and hope to come back after the holidays and reach out to people about jobs. Also apply to more graduate roles and placements.

STARTING TO THINK ABOUT BRAND ME...

When thinking about Brand Me, I really want my personality to shine through. I would represent myself with warm tones and bright colours. I believe my personality is friendly, approachable, kind and easy to talk to. I want my Brand Me to reflect this and hope that through the colour palette I use still stays somewhat professional but does reflect who I am as a person.
