Summative Evaluation

Overall i think PPP has gone quite well. Personally I don’t think that I took as much advantage over it as a should have done. However I do recognise the importance of it and how it’s shaping my career as I head to leave this course. I’m communicating with more companies and people now and I find myself less put of if people don’t answer back or reject em. It’s all about the grind at the end of the day. It’s about getting yourself out there’ putting in the work and developing, your brand to suit the section of clients your going for. I’ve learnt the impotence of separating your practice as a way to not let multiple ambitions clog up my practice and lead to no development in either work or contacts. 

Everything becomes priorities in importance now. i choose what I view as appropriate for My practice. whether it is the branding merchandise I create or the social media outlets I use to promote myself. I look for opportunities in all ventures I pick up. It’s Not just about getting work for now, it’s about having work later and seeing your practice as something you aim to maintain throughout your life. 

Honestly It felt like for the first 2 years PPP was irrelevant for me. However  don’t think this is the case, as I believe that it has given me the critical thinking skills need to be able to evaluate myself and my prate fairly and develop a sense if where my work fits into the grand creative scheme of things. 

I’ve enjoyed working out where my work first within the creative industry. It’s taken some time and i know that it’s going to evolve. However i feel more assured in myself and my practice once I leave this course. I know what I want and what I’m good at are not always the same thing however they can become similar and find common ground within your practice. 

I find valuing my work in the sense of a bigger picture difficult. Contacting museums that could help further my projects as well as other agencies, companies and professionals a bit awkward as I become self doubtful and don’t see my self as worthy of good opportunities. But by bitting the bullet and simply emailing people I’ve gained more confidence within my practice. The worst thing they can do is tell you to fuck off so, it’s really not as bad as you thing. 

I got into my own head a lot during this module which is why I only seemed to start to find myself when the stress of completing this module finally started to kick in. It’s through this last month that I’ve actually been able to see myself as a practitioner not just a student and slowly get opportunities come in that I otherwise would have just assumed I wouldn’t get. 

PPP is a module that everyone grows around differently. And even though I haven’t bloomed around it as fast as other people have. I do think I’ve gained a lot more from PPP on a personal and professional Level. 

PPP Literally Became my Personal Professions Practice.
