Job advertisement - http://www.reed.co.uk/job-details/Leeds/Junior-Web-Designer/?JobID=17013435&&set=5&jr=17013435&lit=2
The job advertisement that I have found is a Junior Web Designer in the media, digital and creative web design sector. The role of the job will be to work with clients to produce interactive online sites, bring new designs to the company and provide specialist advice and knowledge to the client. The skills required are Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash is essential with some knowledge of HTML and CSS.
The job advertisement is a job that I feel would best suit the skills that I have learnt on the course, as I have not had much experience in the graphic and web design industry. The best option would be for me to gain more experience by working as a junior web designer and then progressing on to a more experienced role. The location of the job is based in Leeds this is somewhere I would like to work as there are more opportunities for work in this area.
Being a junior web designer would mean that I would gain experience in different parts of working for a design company such as designing interactive media products and also working with the client. This is something that I think would help with progressing on to a
higher position within the Company.
The skills that are required for this job I will have learnt at college such as Photoshop and Illustrator skills. I would need to learn how to use Flash as this is an essential skill that is required for the job. I feel that this is something that I would like to learn about as it will make me more employable when applying for a job as most of the job advertisements are wanting to employ people who have learnt Flash. I will also have skills in HTML and CSS.

Aspirations for the second year of the course
Over the past year I have learnt and developed a greater knowledge of graphic and web design. I have decided to enrol on the second year of this course, hoping to gain more experience in design and different technologies, expanding on the knowledge I have already gained in the first year.
My hopes and aspirations for the course this year is to continue to develop my knowledge of graphic and web design and gain a greater understanding of the industry. I will also be looking forward to learning more about the technical side of things such as XHTML and CSS where I now only have basic knowledge, this will help me further my skills and apply these to other web sites I design. I very much hope that I will be able to achieve this to further my skills and give me more opportunities for employment.
I am also looking forward to the self managed learning plan, where I will be negotiating and designing a learning plan, where I will learn about new skills such as Flash, PHP and other software skills, to prepare me for the time I apply for employment so I will be able to demonstrate a greater understanding than I currently have and the ability to show this in my work.
After the completion of the second year of the course I will either be looking to go into employment or look to enrol on a top up degree course, this will enable me to have more chance I believe to gain a job in this industry should I decide to do so.
I believe that I am determined and focused to complete the second year more than ever to the best of my ability to achieve a greater understanding and able to show this in my work presented.
