Evalutation

I have used what i have learnt about my own Skills, Characteristic, Achievements and Resources to create a personal and realistic plan suited to me and what I want to do. This includes my short term goal which is to finish Long Road Sixth Form which appropriate qualifications for me to be able to progress to higher level education. I have decided Plymouth University studying Graphic Design with Typography is my desired chose because some of my strongest skills are technical typography and design based. As well as this is think the course is suited to my personal learning style because it is coursework and client project based. My medium term plan is to complete the course at university whilst creating links contacts and business opportunities so I can start work as a graphic designer as soon as possible. The resources I have found and evaluated will hopefully set me up well for this. It is likely that I will search for opportunities in Plymouth during my studies. My long term goal is to hold a stable position in a large design agency. I have looked at places i would like to start a career and this includes places like '400' London and CAMSAT. It is likely that my long term plan will lead me to move out of Plymouth to London because of the job opportunities

Contingency Plan
Through assessment of my plan and the resources I have complied as well as personal help from contacts at University open days/interview days i have decided that a good and rewarding contingency plan for me to really capitalise on my skills and personal characteristics would be to pursue an academic study of graphic design. This mean I will continue to use and develop my skills throughout university whilst studying an undergraduate degree. I will then be able to progress to a Masters degree which would mean further development of my skills and also expanding my resources with connections and experience. After this I will be able to apply for  a teaching course and my long term contingency plan would to become a tutor or lecturer in graphic design. Ideally working for a University or higher education instutution
