Self Evaluation

Since beginning these activities I have gained much more knowledge regarding opportunities during and after college, creating a brand identity, having a good digital profile (social media accounts and websites etc.) and constructing a good portfolio to show to future employers. Research into Future Options - At the start of the unit, my initial thoughts for after college were to try and find a job in a media company as I had no intentions of continuing on to University. Since I started by researching opportunities in media after finishing college and moving into either the world of work to continuing in education. I also spoke about one of my media inspirations, who is Quentin Tarantino. From my research into future options in either education or a career, I have learned about the number of roles available in a media career, and how far you are able to progress from starting as a runner in any media company. Also, the apprenticeships available for those finishing college with a wide ra...

Professional Website - Final Product

Image
https://kylenoble303.wixsite.com/kylenoblemedia These screenshots are of my final design for my website which has been published using Wix.  This is the final product of my HOME page. I still chose to use the same colour scheme as my rough edits, which keeps the website looking simple but effective. I also chose to have a boarder at the bottom of each page, just to add a little bit more colour and keep everything flush. Two photos which I am proud of, I decided to have in the home page of the website to break things up from being solely just videos. So, I have included two photos and 2 videos for people to view as they please, one being a short project and the other being my improved show reel. With having the coloured lines that span from one side of the website, I think it helps add more depth to the website while taking up blank space and making the website more vibrant. The text font I used, I wanted to be similar or matching to the text used for the navigation buttons. I made ...

Personal Development - Social Action Plan

 My idea is on mental health in young people and raising awareness for it. I want to try and do a survey across the college which anyone can fill out, or make some posters to try and help raise awareness while giving information who to talk to about it. https://www.youngminds.org.uk/about-us/media-centre/mental-health-statistics/ One in six children aged five to 16 were identified as having a probable mental health problem in July 2020, a huge increase from one in nine in 2017. That’s five children in every classroom. The number of A&E attendances by young people aged 18 or under with a recorded diagnosis of a psychiatric condition more than tripled between 2010 and 2018-19. 80% of young people with mental health needs agreed that the coronavirus pandemic had made their mental health worse. In 2018-19, 24% of 17-year-olds reported having self-harmed in the previous year, and seven per cent reported having self-harmed with suicidal intent at some point in their lives. 16% report...

Website Designs - Rough Edits

Image
I have worked on rough edits for how I would like my website to laid out. I want to have 4 pages being Home, Work, Contact and About. This is the rough design that I have for my Home page of the website. I have places my logo in the top left corner aside where the buttons will be to direct you to the other pages. When on any of the pages, I want the buttons to have an outline to show which page you are on. The colour scheme of the website, I have chose it to be the same as one of the business car designs I made with the colours being blue, green. white and black. Since I don't want the website to be bland, I have used the same sort of style that I used for my business cards with the coloured lines which span across the screen from one point. Personally I think that using the same type of design/layout as my business cards will help make the website stand out that little bit more while also having continuity with my other designs. I will change the text font when creating the websit...
