In order to reflect on what I've learnt this year I have considered the following questions and what they mean to me in relation to my own practice but also my life in general outside of university.

What I wanted to achieve?

What I wasn't expecting?
- The workload
- To move away from branding which I thought was a strength of mine
- Enjoying editorial design

Upon reflecting on these sections I've decided to include the most important from each section within my presentation in order to effectively reflect on the year and set out my intensions for next year and further. I feel the most important things I've taken from this year is to stay on top of work and start things as soon as they're set and that it takes time to adjust to a new city and thats alright. In order to create the presentation I will use imagery to represent each point so that I can discusses each image within the presentation to avoid the use of text in order to better engage my audience. I will structure the presentation my starting with what I wanted to achieve and then move onto what I've learnt and end will looking froward to next year and my ambitions.
