All my
projects have taught me something. And I think that’s what I feel most
successful in with this module. Even those that failed taught me never to do
that again as it wasn’t who I as a practitioner worked. This module showed me
how Naomi Ronke (N.Ronke) The practitioner and Naomi Crompton the person
differ. I am a lot more professional and confident within my own practice and
abilities when I talk to clients. Because these projects have all had a similar
goal of having to be ‘worth’ to be put into my portfolio. I have increased the
standard of work I’ve produced by looking back on the last few years and
basically doing the opposite of that. Allowing myself to fail and learn
from those failures has been just as important as capitalizing on my strengths.
My practice is one that thrives of a reflective self.
The aims
of my project where to help me find which medium(s) I worked best in. Apply and
develop said medium(s). As I have acknowledged and developed my Lino work I
have been able to create work to both a quicker and higher standard than I
thought possible due to projects such as Spook-a-week helping me develop a
higher grade of Lino print and the Historical Editorials quickening the pace of
my cutting method.
This alongside
building up a portfolio of deliverable work to a client. Work that was going to
get me jobs. My stretch goal was having this work actually land me a job. Which
it has. Though I don’t measure the success of this project by that. I measure
it by the fact that I can see myself sustaining my practice as my career.
