Students from my school have started up many different clubs such as design club, literature club, debate club, school newspaper, and much more. Most of them needed a graphic designer to make their posters and logos. So I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to work for clients. I started as of September and made logos for several clubs like debate, design club, and art club and signed up to be a graphic designer for the school newspaper.

L02 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills

in the process

This was the first experience where I had to use my communication skills as I was not working as an individual. I had to ask people what they wanted and convert that into a product and work on feedback and criticism and more. It was hard for me to take in criticism and learn from my mistakes but I think I learned to accept criticism.

L04 – Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

I had to go out of my comfort zone and communicate with everyone in the clubs to keep asking them questions and asking for what they wanted. I had to commit to every club and especially the newspaper club to keep in touch with members to make the posters and social media posts. So I had to engage in the experience actively 

LO5 – Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

As I was a part of a team and I had to work for and with people rather than working individually I had to demonstrate and learn skills to work together as a team by getting comments and feedback on my work and asking people what they wanted in their logo or work. Communication skills made a heavy impact here 

This CAS experience was very beneficial for me as a person as it taught me the importance of communication skills and working collaboratively, this will be a useful learning experience as I plan to go into the design field, and communication with the client is very vital
