Study Task 1: Live Brief Possiblities

After the briefing for the OUIL503 Responsive module, I have to admit I am a little nervous about the thought of entering my work into public competitions and also collaborating with other students. This is down to the lack in confidence I have in my own ability, however I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that this is the real world and I will have to put myself out there at some point. This module is a great opportunity for me to overcome all that I fear about this industry and  a major positive of this module is how we have the freedom to choose our own briefs, which is great as I can go for what really interests me.

Having a look at the website list of opportunities given to us, I am aware that some competitions have not yet been announced. Below are a few of the live briefs I have come across so far that I think would be great. 

After doing a bit of research, I have come across other live competitions (from websites that do not appear on the list given) that may be an option also.
