First Draft of Poster
During June 2013, I volunteered to help with set design for a local musical production. It was in an intense time period - a 6 foot painted poster had to be completed in 7 days. It was great experience and practise for my career ambitions, and all the money from the production went to a cancer care charity.
How did I increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth?
I realised I have a talent for painting and set design, but realised I needed more practise at it.
How did I undertake new challenges?
I had never tried to do any set design before, never mind a poster that had to be completed in 7 days!
How did I plan and initiate activities?
I initiated meetings with the set design manager to discuss the poster, as well as setting up a meeting to discuss what they thought about the activity, and what they wanted. I also met with the cast to see how they wanted to
How did I work collaboratively with others?
I had to work collaboratively with the set design manager and team to complete the poster in time, to the right dimensions, and colours.
How did I show perseverance and commitment on my activity?
It took me about 8 hours to get a first draft right, and then another 12 hours to paint up the full 6 foot poster and deliver it to the theatre.
How did I engage with issues of global importance?
No issues of global importance were engaged with in this activity on a personal level, however all the money that was raised by the production in the end was donated to a cancer charity, helping to improve cancer care world wide.
How did I consider the ethical implications of my actions?
No ethical issues or implications were apparent.
How did I develop new skills?
I improved my painting skills and communicational skills. I want to go into opera, and possibly set design of opera, so this really gave me some great experience.
