This section of the site is for the Web Standards Representation course at the University of Greenwich, for students of the BA Graphic & Digital Design and the BA 3D Digital Design & Animation.

The workplace has become increasingly competitive, particularly when it comes to finding a job. Sometimes, simply being the best is not enough – you need to sell yourself. This course is all about promotion; promotion of yourself and promotion of your work. In a few months time, you will need to get a job and you will be presenting your work as part of an important degree show. Your success (or otherwise) in these two tasks may well have a profound influence on your future career. However, it is also important to see yourself in the context of the wider design world. It is important to know who you are and where you fit in the world of design. Studying the work of other designers and studying designed objects is a good way to create such a perspective.

This course’s focus is on how to best represent yourself and your work, using both digital and traditional media. You will learn how to communicate your ideas clearly and confidently using a range of presentation techniques, including a website. You must:

• become aware of your own personal style and learn how to develop it.
• develop personal branding and to apply that to your work.
• understand your strengths and weaknesses.
• become skilled in a range of advanced representation techniques.
• be able to contextualise yourself and your work within your own area of design and within design generally.
