Blog Coding

Iv been thinking about how I am going to show evidence on my blog of all the things I am researching and which part of my personal development plan they belong to . I like to work chronological manner and I feel if I was to just upload my information my blog format would be a bit of a mess and hard to read . I am going to split my findings into three parts, A , B and C .

Part A will be ‘Photographers and theory’ 

Part B will be ‘My equipment’

Part C will be ‘preparation for my future both short and long term’

This is purely for my benefit so I know what’s what but will also benefit the reader too, just thought I’d let you know. Also a lot of my finding can be cross referenced into different developments i.e. If I read something that I may find particularly fits with my final major project or dissertation it will be part A +C.

Finalised Personal Development plan.

Here is my finalised Personal development plan. I feel it is relatively self-explanatory, I have gone into much more details about the specifics of what I wish to achieve and how I wish to achieve it . Just time to get cracking really .

 

Personal feedback and change of direction

As I have mentioned in my previous post one thing that struck me about our personal development plan presentations were that everybody was reaching for the same generic goals. The three main ones were Improve Photoshop skills, work with studio lighting more and reading more books. How boring for a set of level 6 students on a creative course to all be doing the same thing. Yawn fest! Also I have found with my development plan that the elements to it are almost everlasting. Everybody can always be developing there Photoshop skills because it’s a changing piece of software with new editions coming out almost annually. I have an opportunity in the remaining few weeks to concentrate my time on something I can really find useful for the upcoming months. I’ve got the rest of my photographic career to be developing on all the genetic things so I have decided to re write my personal development plan be more pacific to my needs at the moment . I think I also want to limit myself to maybe 2 or 3 development areas rather than 4 or 5 so that I can really engage with the development at hand . Instead of just writing the first weaknesses that come to mind this time I’m really going to think about what’s is going to help me both short term and long term. Watch this space…….
