My animation skills are rapidly advancing, and this is one of the skills that I wanted to develop during my placement year, as I think motion skills are becoming increasingly important to any designers toolkit. Whilst my design skills are developing naturally through using Adobe software daily, a lot of the skills I feel I am advancing in are those vital to any working environment! These involve leadership, communication, time management skills and so much more.
In addition, I get to stimulate my academic as well as my creative side. As someone who did Maths and Geography at A-Level, I love having the opportunity to design things about something that is interesting. I have always had it in my nature to help people and it is important for me to use my creativity to do this wherever I can. I find it rewarding knowing that the communications we put out as a team on social media every day, help keep the public up-to-date with the latest weather forecast to ultimately keep people safe, especially in times of severe weather.
