I see myself as someone with a a good amount of confidence, which has improved incredibly since taking a trainee course at a BT centre where they helped expand my knowledge on how to work within an organisation and other skills. 

I have plenty of patience, enabling me to stay focused on work for long periods of time, all suitable for being part of a team or working independently, also if I was offered a position in work but had to travel for it, I would be willing to do so. 

When I have my mind set on a certain role and work I can become motivated, patient, creative, hardworking and adaptable while using multiple skills that I have been taught by others who are experienced or have learnt by myself independently. 

I always try to give my 110% if effort and concentration into my work and take as many opportunities that come across me as much as possible.  

I attended Retford Oaks Academy from 2008 to 2014, getting my main qualifications in science, math and english along with the ones from art, history, geography, R.E, media etc. While I was still at Retford Oaks Academy I attended the BT Centre who had a trainee course available in Doncaster, I started on the 23rd June and completed it on the 30th of July. I took re-sits in English and Math and successfully earned Level 2 in BTEC Work Skills, Level 2 in BTEC Customer Service, Level 2 in NVQ Business Administration, B in English and D in Math along with some work experience. 

Once finishing at Retford Oaks I applied for a position at North Nottinghamshire College on the Art, Design and Media Level 2 course which lasts for about a year. I successfully got accepted by the college and started on the 8th of September, 2014, going in 4 days a week, I'm still currently attending. 

On the 31st of May, 2015, I earned a job position I applied for at Tesco in the Dotcom department, working on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in the morning, I'm still currently working.

In my free time I enjoy a range of things which include:

Going online to either listen to music which genres include indie, metal, EDM, techno, house etc. Listening to podcasts, reading articles, horror, drama, adventure stories etc. 

Watching animations and gameplay etc. or television to watch comedy, horror, thriller or classic movies and TV series, documentaries etc. 

Writing down ideas, painting, sketching and making storyboards that I could possibly later develop into improved drawings or an animation.

Playing puzzle, open world, survival, fighting, shooting, fighting and story driven games on consoles.

Going out to meet friends, cinemas, parks, walking trials, woods, even traveling within the UK and around the world, taking tours in different countries etc.

Examples of my work:

I researched clothing brands and designs, evaluation what colours work best together, how big the design is, where a bouts on the clothing it is etc. I then developed ideas to make my own T-shirt design. I improved the way I think of and develop ideas, feeling a lot more confident with my ideas as I improve them.
Once I understood what automatic art was I made my own piece of work using the automatic art technique, letting my ideas change and develop by themselves.
To help make me think of how I want to my own DVD menu to look I researched ideas for the  interactive media DVD menu and explained what the menu included, that being the colours, sound effects, contrast, shadowing, special effects etc.
I wrote an automatic written story, where I would just write down the first things that came into my head, making it into a story of some sort.
Throughout making 3D Art I took pictures as evidence of my work, including before and afters of certain pieces and how I made them etc.
I thought of ideas of a character to use in a 3D art project, thinking of the environment the character would be in, what they would look like, a description of it, research etc. It mostly being paperwork for 3D art, including what resources I used for research and how I'll use it.
When I was working on a cyber bullying project I researched the facts, opinions, stats etc. Gathering information about the subject from others, as well as my own knowledge about bullying and what to do. So I designed an anti-cyber bullying card, it's purpose to encourage those being bullied to speak up and tell somebody.
For my 3D work I wrote my overall opinion of my work, describing how I did, how I could've improved and done better, why I didn't complete it before the deadline, overall how I felt about my work etc.
I took pictures of my 3D art mod rock as evidence. I included pictures when I was practicing with mod rock on bottles, an ice-cream tub, a wire structure of a tree I made, how I took it off them afterwards once the mod rock had dried and the health and safety when using the mod rock and other equipment that's included.
For my evaluation I described what I did, how I did it, what techniques were used, the visual language, health and safety, how well i worked and how I think I could've improved.
