ment of Purpose ment of Purpose I am finishing my first year in graphic design in Southampton University. My training in Southampton University has introduced to and equipped me with skills of using photography, words, and symbols to communicate ideas and these will benefit my study in this program as they have given me the basics of creative communication. I have a GPA of 2.5, an ITLES of 6.0, high school score of 82% and I scored a 6.5 in the pre-sessional course that I studied in Southampton before joining my foundation year.

This is proof of my academic ability and I am confident that I will excel in this program (Holzschlag 23). My passion for digital work is one of the factors that distinguishes me from other candidates who are applying for this program. I am intrigued when I interact with digital media in the internet, news media or billboards. My interest is drawn to the work and skills that goes into these forms of communication in order to make them effective in eliciting the reactions they elicit in the target audience.

My upbringing and education has exposed me to different cultures, imparting in me cultural diversity. This potential will help me study with ease in the culturally diverse population of your school. I am sociable and studying in your institution will give me an opportunity to make connections and network.

This will also help me get along well with the members of my study group as can be assigned by my professors. My self-drive will help me work on my academic projects and assignments with minimal guidance from my supervisors (Holzschlag 24). I have developed initiative potentials and problem solving skills from my experience. This rekindles my memory to one time, when in primary school, I lacked school fees, and this seemed insurmountable at first. I came up with an idea to start a small photography shop near my home and my father embraced the idea, bought a pinhole camera, and started the shop.

I helped run the shop after school and on weekends and this helped us raise funds for school fees and upkeep. Although the shop closed down after my father got another job and me and my siblings went to high school, I will be forever grateful for this encounter because it is here that I developed interest in photograph y and it has been growing ever since (Holzschlag 24). In conclusion, I believe that I have the academic capabilities necessary to excel in this program. My foundation year at Southampton University has introduced me to the knowledge of using stylistics and images in communicating ideas.

My passion for photography is another thing that adds onto my suitability for this program. Cultural diversity is one my cherished values and one that will help me get along well with colleagues in your school. I have initiative and problem solving skills. I look forward to studying in your esteemed institution. Reference ListHolzschlag, Molly. Color for websites. Switzerland: Rotovision, 2001. Print.
