Why I would like to learn about Flash for the Self Managed Learning Plan

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.
