In this brief I have
explored the professional practise, researching into where I want to be in the
creative industry and documenting personal journey of this. This brief has
taught me a lot about myself and the direction I want to go in. Key aspects
that I have taken away from this brief are; the importance of people skills and
being friendly, getting your priorities right, using every contact you have and
using them well. Using you contacts
would be the best piece of advice I could give to any young designer. By using
friends of friends or family friends I managed to secure a placement, which
then lead onto another week’s placement and eventually a job offer. This was my
ideal situation leaving university, ad I feel the skills learnt from this
module getting me the placement and a professional attitude got me the
job. This trickle effect of who you
know can be a game changer and being open minded, approachable and friendly
allows these small opportunities to turn into something. I have learnt how to
deal with time, juggling lots of projects at the same time, this has prepared
me for in To conclude I have learnt to be more comfortable of who I am as a
designer. One key aspect I have taken away from this year is to trust you own
design and instinct. Too often I see people try to replicate a someone else
style. With some of my peers having success early on the course it would have
been an easy option to jump on there wave and style of design. I believe it
takes a strong confident designer to stick to their own guns knowing that with
hard work at persistence, opportunity will arise, like the job offer for me.
