Digital Creator Skills

It is important to have a strong work group and peers around in order to get tasks to efficiently and to the best of the groups ability to produce the best results. most of our jobs involve interacting with others, The need for effective teamwork is critical for any business; motivating unity within a workplace. Throughout the duration of my university degree I have been able to successfully work within a team environment, to me team work means effective communication between yourself and others, hearing one and other out and taking their ideas on board to produce the best possible work as well as being able to learn and apply others skill and evenly distribute workloads to an individuals strongest skill set.

Working on your time management skills is vital if you want to advance your career in the long term.

University has taught me the core essence of time management. Due deadlines and handing in numerous amount of coursework within a limited time frame because of this I can develop clear, definable systems that will work to keep you on track and work to deadlines effectively and efficiently, as well as being able to simultaneously juggle workloads and multiple deadlines at once, all in which can be transferred and applied to any workplace or given piece of work.

Communication skills are critical to the job as Digital Creators and Designers communicate ideas through text and image. My Degree has taught me to communicate with businesses the be able to create the idea and message desired from me for them and even my team mates in terms of groups projects in order to covey the same message throughout our work and workflow. Designers have to articulate ideas to companies, clients, employers often presented in forms of public speaking skills for presentations and writing skills for proposals as well as being able yo work remotely online by communicating with clients and employers by phone, email, and sometimes through Skype in order to understand their wants and needs; all by which I have already experience and implemented into my work ethos; by working with external companies and course mates.

Networking allows creatives to prosper by approaching other designers to collab with or for individuals to find about your to creative services, opening you up to a multitude of freelance opportunities. Throughout my time at university I have had the opportunity to network with individuals within my class and even businesses and organisations in order to get my name and there and for them to see my skill set. Networking is important as it can follow you and benefit you in any industry, especially in the digital content creator by building a clientele.

Presentation skills are important to a Digital Creator, especially when having to present an idea or concept to a client or organisation. 

Designing the part of products that people interact with is increasingly in-demand among employers. Data has become central to many products, which has created a need for people with user interface design skills. Being a digital creator this is a great additional skill to hone as the digital flow of online sites are in demand. Luckily for me; being a Digital media student I have been given the chance to hone such a skill set by designing the layout and flow of websites and apps to the industry standard. I have displayed such skills be designing my final major project cooking application 'Spiced Up' and creating numerous sites as part of transmedia projects that are displayed throughout this portfolio.
