SUMMATIVE EVALUATION

Throughout this module I have researched, understood, and put into practice what it means to be a professional creative. I have created an online presence that best showcases my work and who I am as a creative individual through a website, and the ongoing maintenance of social media platforms such as, Instagram, Pinterest and an online shop. I have also produced strong elements of self-branding which successfully captures my bold and figurative practice. This in turn has been applied to business cards, a creative CV, and other promotional items to take away from the end of year show and some print fairs. I feel these efforts have been successful in promoting myself as it has lead to a commissioned collaboration with a fashion brand and several sales of my prints/ products online.

Alongside my creative presence, I have also developed my practice as a professional in the real world by being involved in several exhibitions around Leeds, Print Stuff print fair in York, and networking with creative design houses in the area. These experiences have allowed me to showcase my work and myself to a larger audience of future clients, collaborators and customers. These experiences have also allowed me to gain confidence in talking about my work to audiences and in my practice in general. 

As part of this module I have been able to reflect on my successes and failures earnestly, allowing myself to plan a future career I am excited about when graduating. I now have a greater understanding of what I enjoy as a practitioner and what I am good at, which happens to be building a collection of illustrated products for retail and fairs.
