Careers Mind map:
My Chosen Career Pathway Sports Journalism -
Covering a range of sports:
(Formula1, Cricket, Football, Rugby (League and Union.)
My personal brand Identity- using Adobe Photoshop I birthed this logo using the stroke outline pen tool to create separation and a clear definition to the edge, also using tutorials to craft the cartoon effect I have looked to achieve over the face. I feel also I met the client brief using some time to get to grips with the Adobe software and then using the skills built over time to create a ' brand identity ' as per the requirements.
Strengths -
- As a Sports Journalist:
- I would utilise the resources available to meet assignment brief's.
- Work productively, managing my time & efficiently if working on a (sole) project.
- Work collaboratively if the criteria requires, a group contribution.
- Use my skill-set already gained to attribute new ideas and philosophies to the task.
Weaknesses -
- Breaking into the field may prove challenging, to overcome the initial daunting task, I could display determination for success.
- Becoming known within the industry? First impressions, count for everything, so appearing punctual, approachable when given an assignment.
- Time management must be a priority when submitting assignments with several components to allocate the right time to.
Opportunities - Industries specialising in my field are situated northerly, but more likely to be found in your bigger cities like Leeds, Newcastle or Manchester. Although chances to get a foot in the door are available in the college perimeter with the close proximity to the Middlesbrough FC ground, Riverside Stadium. The MFC Foundation, a charity running in unison with the club were able to grant us some access in the press room in 2022. This gave us a feel of exactly what a potential career in Sports Journalism, could be like and made me aspire to become a journalist more.
Threats - Market competitors would be a wary threat, combating this I must create a ' USP ' (Unique Selling Point) that distinguishes my work from the fellow market.
The tight budget constraint could also restrict my opportunity to create anything top-of-the-range. In the knowledge of this I am able to plan ahead and organise any expenditure, rather than spending aimlessly.
Job Roles - Within the creative industry, these could vary from the bottom of the ladder, holding a job as a runner or progressively going up the hierarchy, a sound engineer, camera operator or pick of the bunch an assistant director shadowing the director. Each of these serve a purpose with view to progression, once the next skill is taught.
Short-term: Going into next year, my application is accepted and I enrol into the further study on Sports Journalism.
Medium-term: 3-5 years is the duration, I would class as ' medium ' and for the best possible progression, my ambition is to of flourished through my university education, complimenting the learning I have received along the journey, to better my future self.
Long-term: 10+ years time; I would like to imagine, my University degree had given me the armoury to emerge into the bustling industry as a ' novice ' making a path of progression for myself, with a view to clambering the food-chain as it were.
The field of study I am looking to join offers a wide variety of choices;
- University Further Study
- Apprenticeships
- Cross-Transferrable Skills
- Work Placements During Academic Courses
My target audience is those interested in the topics of conversation, they're purposely chosen to conflict opinion and spark a two or several-person debate. Age specifically I would go with 14+, with any demographic anomaly groups apply.
My intentions to make it through a congested market, the key point is sell-ability being your own identity and not dragged along or heavily influenced by others. I believe my ideas can benefit from this by taking aboard feedback and listening then making the necessary changes to create the best version I possibly can. Personality plays an important role too which I believe I have in abundance, reading the room is how I would summarise and being adaptable to the potential of an ever-changing situation. Having that grit to tackle whatever challenges faced essentially.
A review of other material already available:
Currently user interfaces in my particular field for example the insert on the left, predominantly focus there brand identities around the colour composition (club colours) this gives them a uniqueness, specific to them rather than just being a ' Football Club '
the drop-down options give access to shortcuts, finding sections quicker than previously certainly an advance made in the modern age. The inclusion of hyperlink(s), means access to twin-material can be gained instantly. Therefore, the example I have chosen showcases my own ambition and inspiration to create in the future for my own portfolio.
Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.
Leeds Trinity -
18th in UK: 'The Times Good University Guide' for Student Satisfaction
91% course satisfaction within the scale surveyed.
1st in the Yorkshire & Humber region for student experience.
2nd in the same region based on teaching standards.
Firm Choice.
All aspects of LTU especially the locality to Leeds, made my mind up. The study provisions available, state-of-the-art equipment too. Coupled with the frequent success with degrees.
Uni of Gloucestershire (UoG) -
Course Satisfaction not applicable.
The prospectus does not meet the result I was looking for and the productivity.
=25th in the UK: 'The Times Good University Guide' for Student Satisfaction.
Course Satisfaction - Again below-par on exactly what I was looking for, not the correct fit for myself as that is the fine-thread and determining factor.
