PPD Evaluation

This module has been in the peripheral of my for so long, that when it came time to sit down and do it, I was surprised by how much I needed this. I have had a terrible year in terms of time and project management, By far the worst in the last module. It’s made me depressed and angry with myself. This is the last chance ill get to achieve a degree. I think I forgot that and what it will mean if I fail.
Doing the PPD presentation and portfolio cheered me up and gave me new confidence in my work, I’m proud of the majority of the projects if not all of the project, then aspects within it. It’s been really helpful to look back on works I’d forgotten. I really feel I now know what I have to do over summer to get myself up the high standard I feel I can attain.
The search for work placement had to take a back seat to finding a real job over summer, but with that now sorted and the course work out of the way, I’ve got a few places in mind, but I’m restricted to a couple of city’s due to the cost of living there, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle. In Leeds I’ve been in contact with Numiko in Leeds after I met Richard Hilson after his talk at collage, they only do six mouth placements but liked me and said I could come in and have a look around for a week or so. Also in Leeds there is the X-ray brewery job, which is going to take up a lot of time over summer. In Newcastle I’m trying to find a placement with VIZ comic, I found all the right e-mails but I wanted to wait until I had my “Dalek dad project” back so I can send that off now and start badgering them for a job. I haven’t found much in Sheffield but I intend to keep on looking because I can live there for free back with my mother (relatively free I’m sure it would cost me my sanity).
