We started off this week with a simple task, it was on which attribute from a job would i be looking for whenever i am on placement. 5 of the notes i put on the board was, A good salary, Solid work experience, Good connections, Learning new skills and softwares and to be offered a graduate job.
I think that they are good points and they are all definitely something that i will be hoping come my way whenever i am on my placement, all in all this was quite an interesting and helpful task as i got to see what everyone else had there mind on also.
I was also asked to note down what i thought was three of the most key components to include in my portfolio, i put down these, Well put together case studies, Contact information and A personal statement. I think that in general these are all equally important but not the most important things to include, the better things to put down could have been Design process or Personality.
I am going to look into a website called UX trends, i am going to do this so that i find out all the important details bout UX that has happened in this calendar year,
The main trend in UX in 2024 is AI,
The point that this website is trying to get across is that AI is almost replacing the jobs of some designers, this is because of the ever growing AI systems and also the ones that are being created are looking into “streamlining their design processes and eliminating manual tasks from the designer’s plate.”
I enjoyed this class today because i got to find out some of the attributes that come with a placement job and also learned what the most important pieces of a portfolio are and in why i should be including them, which was really helpful because i am at the stage where i am already beginning my portfolio and now i know what i should i maybe shouldn’t include.
