Enterprise Task 5: Proposed position statement

1. I would like to work within a small specialist print design studio that produces work that is outstanding and pushes the boundaries of what is possible to achieve.
2. My main interests are within type and layout when it comes to my own skills, so I want to continue pushing these skills to ensure that I can produce work the best that I can using them.
3. I want to know 'all there is to know' about the print industry. After the print module this year I learnt a lot of stuff about it that I didn't already know, and I want to further my learning of this to ensure that I fully understand it as I think this is something that would be highly beneficial in the future once I start working in the real world.
4. I really want to have studio visits/portfolio reviews with a whole variety of professionals all over the country.
5. I wouldn't mind visiting/doing a placement (although probably unlikely to) at some sort of design magazine such as Creative Review or Computer Arts to see what it is actually like behind the scenes and how they run things on a daily basis. 
6. Although I am not the best person at collaborating, I want to push myself into doing these more in order for me to feel more comfortable with doing them. I always see the benefits of doing them, it is just a confidence issue that I have when first going into them. I want to become more confident with them and ultimately be able to approach people and ask them for collaborations.
7. Whilst I do want to work within a small design studio, I also want to get a brief insight into what it would be like to work in a large design studio with hundreds of people working there to see how/if I would actually fit in.
8. I want to develop my networking skills, and get myself into a position where I don't forget to breathe even just at the thought of approaching someone to discuss my work or their work. I want to feel confident enough to think that I am not beneath anyone and hold my head up high.
9. I wouldn't mind doing some sort of placement or studio visit(s) abroad somewhere. The dream would be to be in a place like New York, but even just Ireland would be an amazing experience to me. I think it would benefit me a lot to see how (if at all) different it is as opposed to in the UK.
10. I want to continue any side projects that I have going on as well as Uni at the moment and push these to become bigger and better. I want to invest more time in them over the summer and really utilise them to their full potential.
