During this session, we had a look at one another’s blog pages and gave each other some feedback on how to improve their blogs and tell them what looks good and what they’re missing. I had a look at Hannah, Aris and Tiffany’s blogs and it’s really interesting to see how different everyone’s creative aesthetic is. The feedback they gave me about my blog was encouraging and helpful. After seeing everyone’s blogs I need to upload some more of my development work such as my experimentations and test shots as I don’t have that much on my page. Getting peer feedback was very useful as this whole project has been very independent, which I like but getting an outsider’s perspective and feedback is important.
For the second half of the session, I was very grateful that Fiona allowed me to speak to the Journalism course leader because I have been so indecisive about my BA choice. The talk I had with Jo was very useful as she explained exactly what the course will entail and everything, we would be studying throughout the three years and as much as a journalism course interests me, I don’t think I would enjoy writing and research for three years straight. I didn’t get to speak to the PR course leader but I had a chat with Carlyn and Suzanne and now I think creative direction is the correct pathway for me. It allows me to be creative, create content, work with people and learn management. My goal for my career is to work for a fashion magazine and I feel like a degree like this gives me the perfect opportunity to do that.
