Critical Reflection

This ‘Critical Reflection Portfolio’ will evidently direct the reader through my personal challenging learning journey, problem-solving the things that have aided me to establish my professional inquiry questions, ethical considerations evaluations.

As a candidate because I had to work to gain this experience I felt it was compulsory to consider my title within my chosen profession.  After a few experience with in the hospitality industry and working as a previous event supervisor manager I felt uncertain as to my exact role and job description.  

Within my Professional Practice Blog are my thoughts and findings along with my concluding job title which will also be my awards Award Title title ‘ BA Hons  Professional Practice Graphic design”

After I had personally recognized my awards title and the area into which I was to inquire I immediately joined a like minded ex co workers hidden ‘Special Interest Group’ (SIG) S'I'G special interest group- St Pancras Renaissance I started to set quesitons trying to gain their interest and thoughts as well as proposing my own ideas to the group on the Hotel and Kings Cross St pancras.

I found my SIG group challenging  because they simply had no interest and I think because it was a hotel people were literally busy so by the time they want to reply they cannot be asked  that’s so that’s definaltey challenging.

I started writing down my lines of inquiry. Due to the fact that I used to work in a hotel I started my inquiry there thinking a lot of people will know about it I became passionate about the building itself as it was historical and unique and there was just that emphasis on luxury style to it. 

I began to a set some questions Professional Inquiry 4a which were to become the starting point of discovering what my inquiries question would be and the area it would cover 4c developing inquired questions within my professional community and bloggers.  

As well as using techniques and tools to develop my line of inquiry, I began to look at other areas surrounding my professional practice, such as professional ethics and codes of professional practice within my chosen work place. This Codes and Regulations of hotel clearly states and explains the importance of each point of the code of conduct and reglations and I found it extremely helpful when writing my own version of code of conduct

This too seemed just as important for me to consider as an employer of a number of freelance  work and ex worker in a professional environment.  I was compelled to write my own code of practice for my employees as I felt it would clearly state what is expected from them and as well from me  and clarify their role and mine within the company 5B Going back to the points given at 5A (code of practice/ regulations).

Eventually I went unto having  an 5c.Ethical professional enquiry learnt  this stated that as a candidate you came across all different types of professional ethics in all sort of working field and most of the time they turn out to be a code of conduct whereby the rules given are to be complied with and majority of the time failure to do so would lead to a disciplinary action or dismissal.

Then I went unto changing my thoughts of inquiry by looking directly at st pancras station which lead me in developing a survey for the station Survey Survey Survey (Improved) Fill it in please with a short clip

Including having a clip to support my survey in other for people to answer the survey.

There were a few and other task and changes including critical thoughts I had and took place in which was to help my professional field  alsothough some were linked and some weren’t to directly  and help me in my practice line of inquiry, which I though still made very interesting. At the end I noted out sites which helped me communicate, helped me and work to deliver what I needed which was filled in my 6D- Delicious account.

On the whole this module has  been and is challenging for me as an individual. The module itself I think has been crucial in my personal development as a professional practitioner and is still giving me the tools, knowledge and understanding to move forward on to my Achievement.

6D- Delicious

Creating a Delicious account was quick and easy to do prior to watching the quick video given to have a broad knowledge on how ot publish, use and create it.
I also noticed that its a  good tool for discovering sites  not just site but other site that may be at times wouldn't really shoot up via Google chrome and your able to share them with others.
I personally manipulate my delicious site and kept on going over and over it.


I was able to see others link not necessarily Bapp students but i managed to tag a fellow student  (Natalie) in whom i saw her stack and site.

6B. Reflections on the four piloting tools- evaluating both merit and their limits

After completing all four types of pilot tools, am able to evaluate the merits and limitations of each one of them and break them down.  

After conducting the pilots I came across to know which of the tools may be right for my inquiry. Now am able to evaluate how effective each tool has helped me answered my questions.

I created my pilot survey using SurveyMonkey and I tried to make the questions focus on participants who travel and used visual information to get to where they need to get to.

It focused on how they were to use colour, signs and designs to make their destinations from point A to point F. And tried to find out their thoughts on Kings cross since its having a drastic change.

Merits:

·      I basically found out how to use an online Survey known as SurveyMonkey. It was simple to use and design, very legible and easy to create.

·      Because it was created online it was an easy access to others to take part and they are able to fill in the survey. I posted the link on my blog and to my facebook page for my S’I’G GROUP in whom I thought my ex fellow workers would participate.

·      The survey was good as it showed a variety questions such as; multiple choice, comment boxes and many more. This meant that my outcome would be quantative and as well as qualitative if I kept it on for longer.

Limitations:

·      People skipped some questions which means that results may not be fair.

·      People didn’t understand some of my questions given

·      Despite the option box to comment, people do not tend to leave long answers. A limitation for me if I was to look into a qualitative data.

INTERVIEW:

For my pilot interview I interviewed a close friend of mine who is into graphic design and currently runs his own freelance company doing all sorts of design such as vinyl, sign boards and many more. And because where he lives is quite a distance to meet his clients he faces somewhat difficulties getting to his destination but still ends up there regardless.

Merits:

·      It was different talking to someone who you know and whose closer to you because your both open to each other and your able to enjoy yourself rather than the survey.

·      The approach I had meant that I was natural with my questions I could bring up something out of interest and we could both have fun which was relevant to explore but it still gave construction which meant I could reflect and go back to my questions at any given time.

·      I recorded the interview using an iphone, which decreased the time in me writing. This allowed me to focus on him face to face and listen to the responses given.

·      I found the tool good as I interviewee did not feel intimidated as there was no one else in the park as there was fresh air and we were able to express freely as the environment played a part in it. I was also able to give him my full attention without

·      It was also easy to organise the interview we meet on terms and made sure we were both comfortable.

Limitations:

·      I personally found it challenging to be professional. Due to the fact that I was interviewing a close friend of mine and it was easy to have a catch up chat.

·      I found it a bit challenging to maintain neutrality when talking in person as often he may see my opinions through my saying and react or may not react.

·      My mate and I had to arrange the meeting time and place days before hand due to out private schedules. The process took a bit more time than the survey despite the short questions as I had to analyse his answers and I only had one person’s answers at the end compared to a large number of responses after the survey. The answers were much more intuitive.

OBSERVATION:

As for my pilot observation I observed fellow customers and public during a travel via kings cross station. I focused on their behaviors which affected their decisions making their journey or travels.

Merits:

·      The pilot observation tool was effective as you can see things from a different perspective.

·      This tool didn’t rely on people’s opinions neither their thoughts, but on the other hand it allows you to watch, analyze, observe and indicate peoples behavior. I found this very interesting because as humans we tend to do the things in which we ain’t aware of.

·      I have to use a clear observation in the station which meant that I informed the participants such as the police, stewards and securities beforehand that I would be observing them and the customers for my academic purposes and let them know what am doing but shouldn’t take any notice of me at all. I got the consent to carry on and this didn’t seem to affect their behavior but their thoughts on terrorism filming as I was filming or recording incidents taking place. I felt to take in ethical considerations on this occasion.

Limitations:

·      I noticed that there could be a big risk when using a clear observation that it will affect the behavior of the publics

·      I as a candidate participating in this pilot I found it hard to do my observations as I was trying to focus on not making sure it affected my tasked, which I had to complete.

·      I had to record my observations during times I passed the station or when I had a friend of mine visiting, as that’s the station I tend to pick him from.

FOCUS GROUP:

This pilot tool was intense as I had to personally think which of my friends or family members travel to kings cross.

 I personally had to arrange my family friends on this group. Majority of them tend to go via kings cross station to get to their variety of desitination. Some of them were happy with the information given such as labels and signs but some of them weren’t happy that due to colour blindness they were unable to see some information which was designed so they would have to reach out for support.

Merits:

·      Due to the amount of the people I had I was able to gather a variety of thoughts and opinions.

·      folks were then able to share their views to a enthusiastic debate.

Limitations:

·      Firstly Time was consumed getting everyone together.

·      The conversation went in circles none stop rather than having conclusions and decision-makings

·      

Despite it was recorded you couldn’t tell whose speaking and it sounded like everyone was pretty much speaking all at once.

Constructive critism and reflection

After a struggle over my pilot survey regaridng the hotel i realised that i didn't have enough potential to deliver what am truelly looking for from the audience.

Few of the students struggled some people found the survey challenging due to the fact that they didnt know the hotels history and where it came from. some poeple found it irrelevant and were unsure what i was trying to put across.

I thought to myself am i deliverying what was necessary and yet again i was not narrowing down what i wanted i was pretty much every where.

Having a look at peoples survey, getting advise from Alan  and then going back to the root of the hotel i decided to narrow down my survey which will be based on the station known as Kings Cross rather than the hotel whereby know one knows a clue about it or do not have enough knowlegde.

So in a few days am going to re-recreate a survey based on Kings cross station and narrow it down simply for people to share and have accurate thoughts and opinions towards the station as it's known.

I realised that am likely to get a straight forward genuine answer as pupils and customers know a lot about the station rather than the hotel. this also saves time for them researching the hotel then aswering the questions unlike Kings cross station they are able to answer it straight away as they once passed by it.

Whats your thoughts on Survey Monkey

Sometimes if feels like you know it all but technically you don't.
I have hit this brick wall whereby i thought i knew how easy survey monkey is.
i found it funny because i thought to my self as a design student am able to use survey monkey quite easily and its a piece of cake. i was wrong i struggled and stumbbled on where to go and how to do make my template or have my questions written out.

Despite being shown how to use it and design your own theme questions and manay more i still found it unsatisfying for not deliveriing what i truelly want. But i know i would reflect back on my mistake and what i could do better and change.
please kindly tell me how you found survey monkey where there ups and downs and struggles or a piece of cake.

Diminishing change of inquiry (pilot survey)

over the couple of weeks i have been struggling in getting people to make comments upon comments regarding my inquiry and interest i have over the victorian gothic buidling called St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.
I decided to have my own SIG group in my own personal facebook make comments but unfortunatley i though it would have been a success but not really.
i reckon it was due to the changes they have at the hotel and how everyone is really busy doing task and assignments given they are unable to make feed back.

Finally i managed to get someone who is able to answer my questions regarding this amazing architecture in the middle of an urban city. I still decided that i would still put foward my pilot survey forward regardless as i know certain people would answer it this is due to the fact that i have thinned out my questions.

As soon as i get my results am able to go further and progress on to know my next step. i then had a plan B just incase the pilot survey doesnt go to well within the hendon library campus which i go to i would give a written out questionnaire for random people to fill in and get there feed back in order to complete my task.

5c.Ethical professional enquiry learnt

Professional ethics have evolved from the ways of how organization process and conduct things. professions such as the schools, design industry, hotel and many more they have their own ethical standards that related to individual field.

As a candidate I came across all different types of professional ethics in all sort of working field and most of the time they turn out to be a code of conduct whereby they are rules you got to comply with and majority of the time failure to do so would lead to a disciplinary action or dismissal

As a candidate coming across the professional ethics of a private butler but having the eye as a designer in the Victorian Gothic piece of art work created by Sir Gilbert Scott St Pancras renaissance hotel my code of conducts which were set out in contract on a variety of paper whereby I had to fill and sign. This action showed that the hotel had a reputation, which all staff had to comply with within the company as we as individuals portray the company as guest or clients walk into this hotel.

 I would say I tend to use work personal ethics in a professional and non professional situation or better yet environment and acting suitably in the professional environment which has made me play a great part of the hotel and showed that am as well valued as the hotel and as a candidate I represent what the hotels says.

In my written code of conduct I stated that ‘Appearance is necessary not to casual but smart with a top five star finishing touch that represents the hotel in a whole. Its just prohibited to wear in appropriate clothing prior to the hotel standards as we are trying to be the best we can and apply the five star concept which we have to adhere to regardless. As first impression counts when interacting with customers and clients.

Working as a private butler in the eccentric glorious hotel I came across professional ethic here. These have mainly made me focus on trustworthiness, smooth running of an event or executive lounge and made me professional by they way I deliver.

Working for St Pancras International hotel I have applied certain rules to my self as an individual, certain posture, language, confidentiality between I and client and delivery of service has made me as a person implied luxury to lifestyle.

Up 4 Hire live ( BBC 3 SHOW) Youth Unemployement

Dear Candidates or Candidates of the year i just had to share something new which i learnt over this week and this was due to an email i got having an invitation from BBC 3 via Middlesex University.

I was part of the audience when i got this magnificent invitation. Sometimes as students we got to keep on track whats going on in the outside world and we have to learn and know whats new out there.
Tonight i can actually say that i have learnt something new on the 17th of this month 2011.
I basically found another way or an interesting way of getting myself known to an employer since its very
competitive out there to get a job or work experience or internship. by watching these series as a student you will gain knowledge of how to up things up and set your game right and keep fighting until something comes up.

there were questions like are young people lazy to work?

or do they just want to feed from their parents only?

or are they bothered with the job because its not what they are looking for?

Kindly have a look at the link given and share your thoughts what you think about todays employment and young people even employers who might think we don't fit in or qualify or overly qualify for a job.

Comments Comments Comments

liam found a very good site which enables ( http://tmcofliam.blogspot.com/ ) you to track down comments on certain comments made in which individuals has done on their blogs i reckon it was good but on the other hand i thought to myself wouldn't it make me lazy in not following up on my BAPP blog? and also i wouldn't be able to reflect on certain issues i have come across. so in this case or issue am beginning to think if this site is good enough for me as a student to keep or not ( http://co.mments.com/ )

5B Going back to the points given at 5A (code of practice/ regulations)

As candidates we ought to make code of ethics meaningful and effective.  
Vital for codes of ethics to have widespread staff involvement and for staff to be assigned to mange the operation, updating and disciplinary processes.  


Some Code of ethics is widely regarded as being effective, so the question here is what do we need to do thoroughly to let it take place. 
Code of ethics are primilarly designed to convince the customers that the company is a trust worthy organization and the company is trying its up most best to deliver its best as possible especially in delivering a five star service.   


Secondly codes are seen by staff as top management service to comply with and follow the rules given. Its also design to stop theft or misuse of the companies resources and stop and misbehavior. 


 A code can be a statement of values or it can be statement of ethical issues that staffs are likely to encounter, and the expected behavior of staff when faced with their issues or it can be a combination of both in which is the model that we advocate. 
Statement of values as statements like be ethical act with integrity or being honest with customers.  


Despite providing specific guidelines on many of the ethical issues with in the industry the code sets out a multitude of exhortations. 


I also think the code provides a guideline or at best offers a very general guideline on some of the difficult contentious issues in which we encounter   The code that identifies ethical issues sometimes termed code of conduct is more useful than the values statement. it sets out to identify the issues that an employee might encounter and defines what the organization or profession considers acceptable conduct.  


For instance as an employee if you don’t clock in and out you wouldn’t get paid the full amount you have worked for and if you don’t comply with the rules and regulations of grooming you would be dismissed.  


On the other hand as guest come into the hotel and they see a certain staff well groomed they are able to tell that they have standards and they are well polished in the chosen field they are in and are able to deliver a five star service Code of ethics that steer up framework in my work place.

Codes and Regulations of hotel

·      Information held on the database of staff will remain private exempt for medical reasons.

·      Equal opportunities to all staff and employee’s.

·      Abusive behavior of any kind is not tolerated.

·      Inappropriate language from any employee is not acceptable.

·      Clocking in and out of the building is essential due to payment and any fire drill taking place.

·      Appearance is necessary not to casual but smart with a top five star finishing touch that represents the hotel in a whole.

·      Health and safety.

·      Fire escape routes/what to do in an emergency. This procedure is very important to all staff to be aware.

·      Day and night manager On site as well as a first aider for emergencies.

·      Respecting peoples opinions for others views and feelings no matter my personal say and maintaining a professional attitude.

·      An eye of detail to adhere to the policies of equipment used

·      Solicit the employees of an active Global client

·      Recruit any employee we have previously placed

·      Knowingly withhold pertinent information about either a client or a candidate that might influence the other's decision.

5a considering ethics in my place of work

In regards to the statement being made connecting luxury to lifestyle

St Pancras has brought forth a good deal of effort by using the iconic historical gothic building into fashion trend or using parts of the building as patterns to create certain luxurious design in other to grasp people attention and make them buy a certain product.

For instant due to the history of the building and the values of the gothic building despite all of the odds given and negativity,  designers and architects transformed all the negative design into positive by using parts of the building to create nice design for pamphlets, gift bags etc

After its great opening ST PANCRAS Station is set to become an airport-style shopping destination, with brands including Mulberry, Cartier, Smythson and Prada already being linked with the development. Cath Kidston was the first retailer to open her station-based branch yesterday, the Evening Standard reports

The development follows the opening of the five-star chosen flagship Marriott Renaissance Hotel and Searcys Champagne bar in the station - as well as an offering of serviced apartments in the station. I remembered this part during the massive recession there were thousands of champagnes being served and variety of performers were invited and displayed a great deal of show.

Lily cole was used to represent the gothic iconic building despite the odds it was said the building couldn’t deliver and it failed its purposed to serve.

At the end of the result due to its immense beauty a buyer bought this Victorian piece and it was transformed to an awesome beauty.

A designer should not only make things that look good but also be able to help explain the value of what they design in a larger context

Award title proposed

I recently wrote the reason why i chose my award title but i think i havnt given a clear description why i chose it.
looking back at st pancras its self the hotel a short descriptive article said "After years of devoted restoration, the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is being hailed as London’s most romantic building. Its glorious Gothic Revival metalwork, gold leaf ceilings, hand-stencilled wall designs and a jaw-dropping grand staircase are as dazzling as the day Queen Victoria opened the hotel in 1873. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott to receive travellers through St Pancras Station, the former Midland Grand Hotel offered its guests a world of grandeur, luxury and fantasy behind its fairytale red façade. Innovations such as ‘ascending rooms’ (elevators) and revolving doors heightened the sense of awe. "  


looking back at that statement giving i realised that in the graphic design field we have something called print and print comes in all sorts of forms and shapes and can be delivered in various forms. Scott  designed some nice stencilled piece of work he created this this fantasy and fairytale and with the slogan they use in this day an age i certainly think graphic design played a part in it by bringing luxury into lifestyle


http://akinunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2011/10/award-title.html

Award Title

I think I have always known what my award title would be from the beginning of this module and due to the change of careers I have had and I have known what area I wish to develop my current knowledge in which is in a five star customer service field.

The award title I seek is BA HONS WORK BASED LEARNING PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE in Design.

The cause for my rationale award title is because my background has always been in design but not only in a design field but a field that involved focusing on the customers needs at all time and making them have a warm welcoming experience.

As a person or a candidate I know am able to contribute to the society by demonstrating proficiency in all core design including presentation, internal external communication with people, meeting schedule and task preparation and exceeding target.

This all came due to the experience of various field I have worked in and grew such as being an event supervisor manager and freelancing as a designer and working as a private butler at a top end hotel (St Pancras Renaissance). I have executed events, worked in executive lounges and delivered a tremendous face-to-face service.

With in the high end various field I have been whereby I gained valued experience, I noticed that the fields have something spectacular about them be it design in terms of service, appearance, communication I have noticed that I played a part in it not just by looking or by starring but getting involved in task aiding creating an experience whereby the guest are filled with so much wonder.

Whatever task am given I tend to find my own style related issue to resolve my questions although in the design world their ain’t no right or wrong answer as long as your able to deliver what’s needed and make the customer happy they will be relieved and good to go and certainly come back again to gain another valuable experience because of the relationship and the experience you created for them to take away at first.

I also chose my award title because I decided working in a graphic design firm won’t be enough for me I needed something more I wanted to engage take part of a role make a qualitative experience on a customers life which I did when I worked in St Pancras Renaissance hotel (known as Marriott hotel) I created and made an experience for the executive lounge guest.

Ever since I worked in St Pancras hotel I was taught a few history. Looking at Scotts work I remembered when google celebrated his 200^th. It was an overwhelming feeling for me to see St Pancras published on the google image and I felt that I took part in it.  Scott had taken a great interest in medieval gothic architecture design since his childhood; the revival of the Church of England enabled him to apply this to the design of new churches.

Perfect practice makes perfect and this occurred to me that Scott delivered a phenomenal design which in this decade grabs the attention of many people both outsiders and insiders. And today it’s being used for business to satisfy customers.

And I as a person took part in it by creating the experience to guest five star flagship standards I had to make sure I was ahead of the guest needs and urges. Scott had accelerated his achievement of goals in ways and I could apply that to myself due to the competitions, experience I have attended and gained I had also learned and reached goals, which I never thought, would be useful till today for my own use.

Be it retail in a fashion store, design store, event venue or five star hotel there are different types of design that creates the atmosphere of the stores, shops or venue and in that field which people work in they create an experience for outsiders or the public. I can testify say that am part of those who take part in creating experiences in my chosen field.

Considering all of the above I believe that the award title I seek has solemnly justified by my past experiences, my present and research and for my future aspiration goals.

Below is a link to his full story

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/2011/07/13/sir-george-gilbert-scott-at-200-10-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-victorian-architect-115875-23267939/

4c developing inquired questions within my professional community and bloggers

After reading an article again regarding the building its self and Sir Gilbert Scott

I began to wonder if the architect him self was trying to create similar iconic trend in United Kingdom. In which I think he did successfully but each day when passing by this building I wondered why this gothic AROMA in a modern age.

A new set of series question arose when I was thinking and reading the article but I do certainly think it played a part but in this case am wondering what peoples views are on this

• Did it represent industrial wealth in medieval form?
•  Why should the iconic building have the right not to exist?
•  Did it’s purposes failed to serve and deliver?
•  What are proofs that the building itself faded into fashion?

As human or candidates we hear certain words and we tend not to ponder about it may because we think its just a name given to it or it was classified as that we never think what’s behind the name or anything.

My interest arose more in depth whereby I decided to find out who st pancras was and its meaning or what the history was about it.

I then realized it was a roman orphan who was brought up by his uncle and was executed because he refused to betray his Christian faith. A successor to this shrine was built in the medieval times and still stands in the old churchyard on pancras road behind the station. Although in 1860s it had to be cleared in other to build the new station and the hotel and that’s where the name came into place.

Over the years when the hotel was threatened for demolishment, it was said that the Midland Grand Hotel was “too beautiful and too romantic to survive”. Well accusation was wrong because it has survived for numerous reasons it was believed that due to is beauty the public both upper class, business class and lower class

Would pay for the flats and hotel rooms and its immense views and have inspirations from the huge Victorian iconic gothic building.

The public would have a tale to tell once they have that experience of living in a chosen flagship.

As a candidate I believed this building faded into fashion due to its gothic revival especially the colour of the stone used. Scott was influenced by the use of brick which he had witness first hand on his European travels and which by all means England was being widely transported and produced to all parts of the country by rail so by no means it wasn’t a surprise that the stone and brick work came from the Midlands.

The purposes of the hotel delivered in many occasions firstly gave women power to smoke publicly, it had the first driven water lifts and many more.

I felt that Scott created this enormous staircase whereby a multitude of movies have showcase it in today’s times.

What intrigued me was that the hotel was luxurious and it lavished in everyway, high ceilings, the use of gold leafs used.

There is so much more to it than meets the eye only.

The question i posseses to us as bloggers is that would we have love to know if  this building played a common part to our society and community? 

S'I'G special interest group- St Pancras Renaissance

In regards in developing my own “special interest group”. I have currently decided to use my ex co workers St pancras group via my facebook to support my programme  and share the same similar interest .

As my ex co workers most of them have and are still working in the same building professionally and hopefully have a great deal of interest into what I do.

The main thing that bugs me is that why would Sir Gilbert Scott build an extravagant iconic building in the center of London?

 What actually possessed him in doing this particular building?

 why was it the most successful building of all of his work ?

I was browsing through the net to even have a deeper understanding of the building and I came through a short article that stated the building should not exist.

So this questions comes in place too

Why should the iconic building have the right not to exist ?

And did it’s purposes failed to serve and deliver?
