5 statements around the things we have discussed. A mix of Want and need 

I want to.....

Because.....

This means I will be able to.....

i need to explore concept disciplines character development, costume, creature design because this is one of the areas i wish my work to exist. this mean i will be able to gain experience and the knowledge to take with me to interviews or internships.

i need to develop on my photoshop skills because they are not at the because i need them to be at a higher standard if i am t work in a industry that uses photoshop heavily. this means i will be able to develop a stronger portfolio and wont

i want to make contacts that exist in my industry of interest because this may higher my chances of getting involved with projects and being referred to clients or projects. this means i will be able to build up a reputation, a portfolio, experience and add more members to my network.

i want to visit the sumo digital studios (this is a studio for game design and creation in Sheffield). i want to visit this studio because i would get the chance to see the proses of concept art id learn a great deal of how things are run and what to expect first hand. this means i would gain experience and a better knowledge of the industry and how it works i can take this experience and apply it to my own practice

i want to make a live website, a website with current work on it. i want to build that with work that develops from my projects from my studio practice. because it has been advised from other practitioners to have a website as that will be my main source of being see! my main source of income and my tool to get known. having a live web site soon mean i will be able to approach studios such as sumo digitals and offer them a quick and easy way to see examples of my work.
