This capstone project has been very helpful in defining what it takes to be a graphic designer in the future. At the first stage, I was able to establish the goal of pursuing a career in visual media – particularly, design. In the course of this semester I did the following basic preparations towards assuming this position.

I created a specific CV and a cover letter, emphasizing the design abilities, portfolios, and experience. I also managed to take online classes and obtain certificates in design tools including Adode Photoshop and Illustrator which has enriched on technical skills. However, I was also able to work on the development of my portfolio, which is an important aspect of the design process and mainly contained several personal projects and freelance assignments.

That is why networking was important as I used LinkedIn and went to events concerning designers. I also enhanced the social media presence mainly with Behance and Instagram to promote my work and myself.

I learnt what design companies are looking for through job interview preparation and spoke about my process and portfolio. I think this project has enhanced my confidence and preparedness to go into graphic designing as a vocation. In the future, I will add to my portfolio, submit applications for jobs and more often engage in training.

Why Effective Meetings Matter

The work meetings are to provide different groups an opportunity to communicate, report, discuss issues and make decisions. However, for such resources to valuable, they must be planned and executed with direction. If there is no structure, once in a while, the meeting drifts off its intended course, or some participants fail to understand why they are there in the first place.

Best practices for conducting a meeting

Have a Clear Agenda: What must be discussed should first be articulated through the creation of an agenda that defines what needs to be discussed. This makes every one.s Prepare in advance and does not allow deviation from the topic. People would adhere to the topics post the introduction of agenda and more often meetings were likely to end on time.

Keep It Concise: Business meetings should not waste time of all attendees. Having a time constraint really assists in ensuring that the meeting is on schedule and people do not drift off to other unrelated activities. Honestly, to my mind, short meetings where all members stay focused and do not deviate from the main topic are great.

Engage Everyone: When done right, a good meeting should incorporate inputs from most members; not just the ones who are most vocal. Encouraging questions or allowing those team members who may not speak often to contribute leads to better ideas or discussions. At some level in the organization I used to sit, we used to rotate the leadership of parts of the meeting so that everyone gets involved.

Assign Roles: There is always someone whose responsibility it is to keep the discussions on track, or to take notes. The facilitator provides structure while encouraging equal participation throughout the group and ensures no one memberAIL the notes while recording key points and follow up actions.

End with Action Steps: Probably the most effective way to ensure that meetings are effective include; When the issue being discussed is approved, a quick revision of who is charged with what should be done. This prevents anyone from being unsure of what to do or who is supposed to do something next and keeps all tied to the task.
