So… How is it going?
A transferable skill is ‘an ability or expertise which may be used in a variety of roles or occupations. Examples include communication, problem-solving and self-control’.
Within the process of making my music magazine, exploring mise-en-scene, developing meta narratives, I have developed many of my transferable skills.
- Communication: I can now communicate better with other students in the class. I can use many different forms of communication as well. For example I can communicate via speaking to people in person, over social media and over my blog.
- Problem-solving: When facing issues on Indesign and Photoshop, I have overcome them by asking my peers and my teachers for help. I also researched how to do certain tasks online. The internet has really helped me through this. When I couldn’d find anything I kept working until I sorted it.
- Self-control:I have given myself targets and let my peers and teacher give me feedback on my material and ideas.
- Team work:I have worked with the people in my class to be able to build a good relationship with them where we can give each other feedback and critic with good advice. We have taught each other how to do certain thing on Photoshop and Indesign. We have also written essays together with means we have shared ideas and taken different peoples opinions into account.
- Time management:I have managed to get in any essays or work in for set deadlines, and I have prioritised certain tasks that need to be completed before others.
In my opinion, I believe that I have used my time wisely which has helped me to take and edit good images from my photoshoots, detailed research about the R&B genre, artists like NE-YO and magazines like Billboard and carefully planned magazine pages. Even though I think positively of my work, there are improvements to be made. For example, I need to keep working on my images and I need to edit and experiment with my fonts, adding bold colours to them so that they fit in with the R&B genre.
