As of September 2016 I have been elected to take over the position of Leeds College of Art Student's Union Editorial Officer. The job entails being coordinator and Editor-In-Chief of NEST Magazine, the college's student magazine. This involves many duties, including setting themes for each issue, taking submissions and selecting work to be included in the content, arranging the production and the printing of the magazine, organising launch parties and other associated events, and attending regular meetings with the Student's Union, the printers, venue owners and all of the students and staff within the college.
A role such as this comes with many challenges and will test my skills in all areas. However it will also provide me with a wealth of new skills, including increased people skills, effective organisational skills, the ability to designate, and the ability manage a budget - as well as further my ability to create effective editorial design and give me an increased ability to use Adobe software. These are vital skills in being able to successfully manage and run projects and will be transferable throughout all aspects of a creative career in graphic design.
