Creative Strategy - Goal Setting

Who are you now? Has your view of your practice changed?

- More concerned with research and the sharing of knowledge than commercialisation

- Experienced a turning point at beginning of second year that I did't want to be a freelance illustrator; why make work for someone else needs and aesthetics when I can make it for my own? But use my creative skills and knowledge to help enlighten others through workshops/ teaching.

- My illustration practice functions more as visual thinking and processing of a theory based practice

What are your plans for the structure of your future practice? Collaboration: Individual: Full-time employment?

- Intend to maintain an individual craft/ print-based practice as a research process and for my own personal development

- May need to acquire volunteering/ part-time experience in relevant arts & culture outlets to enhance my CV

- End goal to attain full-time employment in heritage/ arts sector or in lecturing

Research Goals: What? Where Who? Why? How?

- Identify appropriate post-grad progression routes e.g. masters / PhD/ internship; Who do I want to learn from? Where do I want to spend the next part of my life/ creative journey? Would a new city open up new opportunities?

- Need to 'get my foot in the door' in an arts and heritage establishment, or in the field generally

- Don't be put off by large organisations, but local can be more intimate and rewarding

What does your professional practice need to grow?

EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE

- My professional development will rely on a consistent written output; maintain a thorough, critical, and up to date blog

- I've got the interest and academic grounding but now I need hands on experience and field specific knowledge

BLOG/ PAPERS/ SUBMISSIONS/ ARTICLES
