1. Gathering information on companies i would like to work for
2. Building contacts
3. Developing an understanding of how i will fit into the industry
4. Seeing how design works out in industry
What can i learn from Industrial Experience?
1. To look at real briefs and what projects you would be given in industry
2. How a company works, how you as a designer work with them.
3. How to talk to clients
4. How to talk to printers
5. Costings, how much i would charge.
What form/ format can it take?
1. Doing work placement for 1 week plus, which allows you to get stuck into some real design projects
2. Small visits to design studio to grasp a feel of what work they do and how the agency works.
3. Home research on companies via the web, phone or books.
4. Speaking to 'people in the know' that can point you in the right direction of agencies you may be interested in.
5. A part time job, working for a company for so many hours a week, having your own projects.
6. Live briefs, competitions, that get you working to others specifications and deadlines.
What areas of industry are you interested in?
360 degree agencies, those that are multi-disciplinary, that will allow me to cover a broad range of design.
I'm really interested in packaging, editorial layouts, branding and books!
I would like to get back on track with my photography
What are your concerns about industrial experience?
1. That I will not be up to a high enough standard/ know enough to participate in work within the industry yet.
2. I am worried about contacting industries as i don't feel confident enough in my abilities as a designer.
3. That I will be given pointless tasks that won't teach me anything.
4. Taking on a work placement that i don't enjoy.
5. That i feel like a hassle to them :/
