My progression goals.

I am still unsure on what I am going to do when I finish this course. Ultimately I want to work in designing album artwork/ posters and sell my work. I know that I'm going to have to go to university to get the qualifications to be employable to graphic design companies to earn a descent wage and to build a bigger portfolio for myself. I am into illustration, photography and typography so I will try to find a university which specifies in these areas or a course that will be most beneficial for me. 

I would prefer to go to a university which is not too far away from home so that I can travel back regularly and my friends and family can visit me. I really like London which I know well and find inspiring and a good place for me to see different architecture, type and people which is the basis for my ideas.

To get into a university or employment I will have to focus in this final year and get the grades that puts me in a comfortable position to confidently apply for these. 

I've looked on the UCAS website and searched for illustration courses to see what universities could be an option for me.
