Paying The Bills

This week's class started off and ended very well. I learned about planning my business model. The class was presented with a sheet where we would try to write our own business model, after we were taught how to of course. I found it very tricky to go about, I was unsure of what I was asked to write at times but I managed with some help. I found it very interesting how effective the business model was. As I was writing I was really forced to think and I gave it my best effort. I feel as though it was a great significance to the field I'm working towards, as well as many other fields. Next time when presented with an in class worksheet to have done by the end of class I'll be sure to ask my professor for more help rather than trying to go about the sheet alone and only asking my friends for assistance.

Another thing we were provided to do for this week was read a blog, Dena, C. (2015) Your Income & Your Art, Retrieved from https://medium.com/self-directed-practitioners/week-3-your-income-your-art-133fe7b09488. In summary it talks about the different jobs in the creative field and how income is. I understood it clearly and after reading it I felt much more "in the loop" in the sense that I had a better understanding of how the industry worked, to an extent. Like the previous blog we had to read, I really enjoyed reading this one and I found it to be very insightful. I'm looking forward to next week's blog read, and writing another blog. I feel like I'm getting to know more and more about the industry I'm studying to work in.
