Personal Profile
I am in my third year of university where I am studying for a BA (Hons) in Magazine Journalism and Feature Writing. I consider myself to be a punctual, determined and amiable person who enjoys and thrives off the media, celebrity culture and current affairs of today. I’m quick thinking and confident when undertaking a creative task and I work well under pressure, completing any task given before the deadline as precisely to the set brief as I can. I can write creatively for any genre or audience and use available market research appropriately. I enjoy working independently or as a team, and I apply myself in a professional and organized manner.
Personal Development
During my degree I have explored a wide range of journalistic skills and design ideas suitable for work within the media environment. I have a good working knowledge of both PCs and Macs and programmes such as Microsoft Word.
My coursework has covered a variety of magazine markets including; travel writing, food writing, men’s, women’s lifestyle, fashion and teen magazines and more. This shows that I can write consistently for an intended audience successfully, no matter how much or little I currently know about each subject. I am able to do this through research, interviewing, and a determination to complete a brief to a high standard.
I have learnt how to write for print and online journalism. After a unit of Magazine Design, I have some knowledge of design programs such as Quark, InDesign and Dreamweaver and as part of my coursework created and edited my own teen magazine. Photography has been another skill I have learnt and I now have the ability to use a digital SLR and Photoshop, and have experimented with studios, lighting and props.
