Reflection

I just came out of Joolz SSP lecture, and i realized i need to get more focused. In a sense off "career direction". We were asked to list what we are doing to develop ourselves as a practitioner. While listening to what others where saying, i came to realize there is a lot i am not doing and i SHOULD be doing at this stage. So im writting this to remind myself (for futures sake) or help on of you, if you didnt attend the lecture, i would appreciate some other forms of examples, so please leave a comment. Thanks!

What are u doing to develop yourself??
- Improve 3d skills by making small random animations, which will further develop ur practical skills
- Start thinking of your "style" ...what will make u stand out from the person next to u
- Draw draw ...DRAW! and take advantage of the life drawing classes
- Join some sort of multimedia community...to see other peoples works and "expand ur mind" (one example i got today was www.deviant.com)
- Begin to network with other practitoners
- Follow up on our indusrty so you are aware of e.g. qualifications needed, latest changes and why, techniques etc. ( this could then help you narrow down on what area you wana specialize in) Yes im doing multimedia, Virtual enviroments to be specific but what REALLY REALLY REALLY gives me that BUZZ????
- Collaborate with people in other courses a.k.a networking, and we all know the benefits of that.

So there is my reminder list that i will look into term two perhaps and see my progress
