Strengths and weaknesses

I think i have already done this but i have thought of some more things i can do to improve. I find that i love learning how to use many different types of software however i do tend to try and do everything at once and i spread myself thin and sometimes loose interest with what i am doing. I felt this happened half way through my design specialism brief, however it wasn't loss of interest i just felt i had trapped myself with a mediocre idea and there was no way out, so i rand out of steam so to speak.

This usually happens to me with every project but it wasn't to severe this time around. Another strength is that i always have to be doing work until i feel something is complete, however this can sometimes play against me because i sometimes panic and churn out mediocre ideas but feel it i do enough work to back it up it will make the idea good, which is often not the case.

I find that i am more geared more to pc as i have used a pc all my life and find it quite hard to use mac which sometimes becomes a problem when it comes to using certain programs, and also using certain keys on the keyboard, however i feel i am improving in this area as while at home i kept looking for the command key on my keyboard to left click on something soon realising i wasn't using a mac which is a good sign. There are also programs i have never used before such as indesign and illustrator which weren't particularly hard to use because i am used to photoshop, however i still don't know everything that can be achieved in either program, so i need to start using them in my spare time a lot more as i do with photoshop already.

I feel with using a computer all my life that using and creating documents to be quite easy but on the other hand sometimes i tend to think i know more than i actually do about computers i try and do things when i have no idea what i'm really doing which may waste time when i could just ask someone for not only saving time but would probably have a better understanding in the long run.

So my new 5 point plan is:

Improve my skills within the mac operating system,

Improve my understanding of indesign, illustrator and other adobe programs.

Ask someone to save time when i don't know what to do.

Stay focused/realise i can always start a new idea rather than sticking with a bad one.

Don't panic and come up with bad ideas, stay calm and collected and think through things.
