Evaluation
During this unit I have come across many different skills and have had to implement them into my work in different ways to make the best product I possibly could.
While I was creating my adverts in Photo Impact I had to use most of these skills. The first skill I used was the freehand selection tool which was used to cut out a certain area from a picture which enabled it to be inserted into another picture, I used this tool to cut out guitarists and insert them on a waterfall background. To insert the guitarists I also had to use another skill which involved copying and pasting between images, without this skill I wouldn't have been able to copy the freehand selected guitarist and paste it onto the background. As you can imagine, after taking something from one image and adding it to another, the guitarist and the background were out of proportion so I had to use another feature which was used to resize the guitarist, rotate it then finally move him to the correct position. The edges around the guitarist were not the same as the background it was on so I used an extremely useful tool called edge blending which slightly fades the edges of inserted image making it look as if it was meant to be there, not simply copied from another image. Throughout making the adverts I also used the blur and smudge tools, they are used to blur or smudge any part of an image to make something fit into an image easier or to create a sense of speed or heat. I used the blur tool on a family I inserted into a background of a wilderness I used the tool so they looked like they were already in the image but also so the background looked hot. I also used the warp tool which in general seems a pretty useless tool but can create very interesting effects as it stretches different parts of the background, warping it into different places. I used the warp tool to make the edge of a field on the horizon look slightly more mountainous and lumpy rather than bland and flat. The final tool I used was the clone tool. This clones a certain area over another, for example I used it to clone a certain area of sky over a set of bushes, the outcome of which made it look like there were simply no bushes and the sky didn't look out of place.
This work structure and physical design helped shape each team into one integrated and supportive unit.
I develop multiple skills and abilities from various experiences, especially leadership and communication skills. When I took the accounting information system class, I was the leader of the group project, which was to lead and assign group
My two strengths in the profession of arms are direction and recognition. I am strong in giving directions because I am very detailed and specific in giving orders (KAI-theory). Giving good directions in relation to deliberate leadership will help in providing subordinates a well thought out plan to further develop them into future leaders. My methodical approach discovered in the Team Dimension Profile will also be a great benefit when trying to develop a step by step plan. When I provide directions for a task or plan I try not to assume people already know things especially if it is something new or haven't been discussed in awhile. I also give my subordinates the opportunity to ask questions and ensure they fully understand the task before exiting the conversation. I also believe it is important to recognize your people. Recognizing your people in relation to deliberate leadership will help to motivate and encourage subordinates in their journey as the strive to reach their goals. I have worked hard this past year to put my people in for awards and programs. Recognizing your people shows that you acknowledge and appreciate their contributions to the organization.
This is the first point in my study that I have formally attempted to answer this question although it has guided my methodology. I consider that it is due to the early recall and examination of my educational experiences that I am beginning to understand my journey on a personal level prior to senior leadership. Through the periods where I have stepped aside to consider existing literature I have learned to understand a great deal about my experiences that I believe will help me to understand my practice.
OT professionals, I realized this is a field that encourages creativity, empowers individuals, and values of
In what ways did you increase the depth and breadth of your knowledge related to leadership?
In conclusion I believe that I have developed both skills working with others and improving your own learning and performance. But I need to work on these skills so I can use them in a more effective way; and I also recognise that I will not develop these in a short period of time. I will have to work on the strategies I have mentioned throughout the assignment in order to improve these skills.
Many do not consider where images they see daily come from. A person can see thousands of different designs in their daily lives; these designs vary on where they are placed. A design on a shirt, an image on a billboard, or even the cover of a magazine all share something in common with one another. These items all had once been on the computer screen or on a piece of paper, designed by an artist known as a graphic designer. Graphic design is a steadily growing occupation in this day as the media has a need for original and creative designs on things like packaging or the covers of magazines. This occupation has grown over the years but still shares the basic components it once started with. Despite these tremendous amounts of growth,

...ew it in different perspectives. The outcomes were surprisingly insightful and greatly enhance my contribution towards the development of our business plan. It allows me to look back on what has been done and learned from what did or did not work out. In other words, it helped me to see both the positivity as well as the negativity in our ideas and thus stimulate improvements. This assignment also cultivated a sense of team spirit through teamwork and boost creativity through the development of thinking outside the box. Therefore, this assignment has definitely aid my knowledge in developing skills such as writing up comprehensive critical reflection and evaluating the risks of certain business ideas. Aside from that, I have also managed to deal with people from different cultural background through teamwork and develop unique business ideas and market strategies.
In this report, I will reflect on my professional development throughout this module, from when I started in September, to now. According to Beausaert et al. (2011), ‘the art of self-evaluation is an integral element of reflection and involves critical insight into understanding one 's strengths and limitations’. Therefore, my aim is to identify my learning needs and to recognise my personal skills and capabilities, as well as identifying areas of my skill set that need to be refreshed or extended to stand out in the competitive job market. By doing this, I hope to demonstrate knowledge of the skills that I have gained during this module.

A reason that this country works well is that everyone has diverse abilities which can contribute to everyday life. Some people let those abilities shine at work, in their personal life or both. As people have their strengths, they also have their weaknesses. There is a problem to improve those weaknesses when the weakness is not identified. Once the weak point is identified it needs to be resolved. A plan of action for improvement helps in solving the situation. In this paper, I will identify abilities and skills that I possess that contribute positively in my work environment, in my personal life, and in my learning team. I will also identify personal areas that need improvement, and outline a plan of action for improvement.
