For the self managed learning plan I would like to study Flash with Action Script. As I feel from researching other job advertisements in a wide range of areas, this is a skill that is most likely required for jobs in the web and graphic design industry. This is one of the job adverts that I found when we were searching for jobs that would best suit are needs when leaving college. Flash is one thing that is essential to achieve a job like this one and would also make me more employable. http://www.reed.co.uk/job-details/Leeds/Junior-Web-Designer/?JobID=17013435&&set=5&jr=17013435&lit=2
As I don’t know any thing about Flash I feel that this would be a good opportunity to learn something new and develop my design skills. Flash is something that I have always wanted to learn about but haven’t yet got the chance too. I feel that to improve my design skills Flash would be the perfect opportunity to do this and also I would learn about design, animation and creating videos using Flash and action script. After researching different websites about Flash and action script, I feel that this is a skill that would benefit me as it would improve my graphic skills, this is a skill that I would like to improve. I feel that this would give me better knowledge of Flash but would also help me to learn more about graphic design.
This assignment will give me the opportunity to manage a learning plan my self and would give me the opportunity to improve at managing my time when studying assignments.

The second year so far
This year I knew that I would have to put a lot more effort in to college work then I had done last year, even though I did try my best I felt like I could have probably done alot better then I had.
I feel that I have already improved with my work so far, such as doing the presentation last week. My skills have already improved in this area, and I feel proud of what I produced that day, as I have realised that I can actually do it. I have started this year positive and hope that I can carry on doing this as this will be reflected in the work I produce.
Summer assignment
The summer assignment gave us the opportunity to still do college work so we wouldn’t get out of the habit of not doing any work. I thought that the work we had to do for each piece of the assignment was different which made the assignment more interesting. If I felt I wasn’t getting far on one particular essay I was able to move on to another.
Even though I tried to plan the assignment so that I would have enough time to complete this, I also allowed myself to have a rest from all of the college work. I felt that I could have managed it better as I always felt like there was work always left to do, if I was to do the assignment again this is something that I would do better.
CSS assignment
When I started this assignment I only had basic knowledge of XHTML and CSS from a previous assignment that I had done. I knew that this wasn’t going to be one of my strong points, so I knew I would have to learn more about this subject.
I found writing the essay quite interesting because I didn’t know that much about XHTML and CSS so this helped me to get better knowledge of this. Even though I didn’t pass the exam I still feel that I have learnt loads from even attempting it. My main problem with the exam is that I didn’t know much about XHTML but having the chance to do the exam again this will help me to understand it better.
Team assignment
I have really enjoyed the team assignment as it has given us the chance to work as part of the team. I have enjoyed my role as Project Assistant as I have experienced working with clients, the progression of the project and usability testing. The assignment has also given me a better understanding of what it is like to work in the design industry.
A12 assignment
With only just starting this assignment I don’t really know what to expect so far. But the work I have done already I have enjoyed as it has given me a chance to do different designs, instead of having to use the computer to design every thing.
