Proposed Position Statements

10 statements about my distinctive positioning as a graphic designer.

1) Keeping up to date with new global and local technologies and knowledge so that i can inform my wide range of clients and know what is available to them, and showing that i understand what 'specialist technologies' are in which ares.

2) I want to experience more work within typography and editorial layout before i set up a business, so this is what i will be looking for when i graduate, working with a small business if i can that will help me develop.

3) Although i think of myself as quite diverse in my skilled ares i feel i would need to collaborate with illustrators, idea generators and printers to have a professional finish, depending on the clients needs for the project.

4) The aim in all this is to one day own my own business, i would like full control of my businesses values and procedures so that the identity of my company is one of ethical values and economically friendly.

5) I will experience working within a large corporate business and as a freelancer as i think its important to experience each side of business to make an informed decision on what i want by business to be like, and the skill will be invaluable.

6) I will work all over the world, i want to experience all cultures, i especially want to experience working in Canada as they seem to be very up to date with technologies and have acknowledged the problem of sustainability, which some stubborn countries are ignoring.

7) I would like a mixture of small local business to more global corporate business as my clientele, these both have their advantages to working with them.

8) At the moment most of my skills are based in hand crafted design and typography but i am also skilled in digital designs on programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. I am already learning new programs as After Effects and will keep up to date with these updated programs.

9) As a base of contact for my clients i will use email and the Internet (websites) as my main for of communication, however i think its important to have a personal touch and so will keep a face to face approach for clients as much as i can. This will be invaluable to them as a client and me as a designer.

10) Initial promotion for myself will be thought the Internet as this i most cost effective but i would like to have a face to face quality if i have time and money later in my career, also word of mouth is a very strong technique for promotions around businesses.
