My design purpose

One keyword for your design purpose: Money

This was the first word that came to mind; one of the main reasons for coming to university and doing the MA is to get a job at the end of it. I want a job that supports my family and me.

Money doesn't cover why I decided to do Design rather than any other university course.

The second word I chose was: Achievement

- Not in the same way as making money but a sense of giving someone else happiness and knowing I did that - whether it's packaging in shops or an advertising poster, a book cover, logo design or a bespoke piece of art such as a pet portrait.

- I didn't know what I wanted to do at 16 so just kept choosing the subjects that I enjoyed and was good at.

- Wasn't ready to go into the working world - now I am (sort of!)
