PPD Summary. life. graphic design.

3 years ago, I started this course doing every bit of design on Photoshop. Don't judge me. 3 years later I can't even begin to explain how much my graphic design practice, and my life has changed. I don't think I've been through anything as intense as this course, but it really has made me realise how much I do love graphic design.

Throughout the past 3 years I've never really known where I wanted to be after I graduated and to be honest I still don't know. I think that I really need to focus on trying to get internships and placements as I don't know exactly where I fit in. I really like the idea of working in house but somewhere that is beauty/fashion related - and for this I need a few years experience first. I'm hoping that the internship at Made By Six and Vast works out - and then hoping to spend some more time at Work design over summer, at which point I'll be looking for permanent jobs. I don't have a master plan. I'll see how it goes. Cause that is how I roll.

EOYS Proposal

Studio Visit : Manifest

I had decided to get in touch with Martin at Manifest again, having already been to the studio once before, martin had told me to keep in touch. I knew they were moving to a new studio, and I couldn't wait to go and check it out.

Spent about an hour talking with Martin about my new work and my plans for uni, I got some really good feedback about the stuff I had been working on and he said it was great to see how I had developed since we last met. He said to keep in touch, and I mentioned that I might be in Leeds over summer so he said to let him know when I was free and he would see if I could pop in for a few days on placement. Looking forward to seeing what happens!

Studio Visit : Vast

I got the chance to meet Phil Morrison and design agency Vast, after Amber told me that they were looking for interns. Having followed the studio for a while I was really excited to go and see the type of work the produce. Phil talked through a lot of the projects they were currently working on and the kind of stuff that they generally do. He said he would be happy for me to come in over summer, he originally said July, but I'm hoping I might be able to do the last 2 weeks in June after EOYS. We shall see..

Job Applications

I just haven't been applying for jobs. I have however been networking with people and I think I would be happier trying to sort out some internships for summer to get some experience rather than going straight into a job. But who knows what might happen.
