Group tutorial prep,

1. What is industrial experience?

- Preparing yourself for when you have to work in that type of environment, growing accustomed to industrial surroundings and methods of work. Professional situations.
- Producing work that can help you promote yourself and the type of work you are capable of designing
- A chance/place to learn  and gain from your mistakes 
- A temporary job that allows you to slip in and out of working areas, without having to destroy important matters of commitment
- A taster of how things work outside student life, exploring and growing in independence of dealing with real issues and matters of life




2. What can you learn from industrial experience?
- Becoming known in the world of work, you can widen your list of contacts and connections that can help you throughout your career
- Being able to explore in depth, different areas of an industry/company without having to be completely attached
 - Learning from mistakes/experiences in working environments that you may have originally liked, you then change your mind. Realising what you like and what you don't like
- The technology/skills and software that is available and keeping up with it, knowing what there is to work with
- What type of work suits you best, specific environments, freelance? collaborative? company work?

3. What form/format could industrial experience take?
- Developing a portfolio that I can take on with me to help promote myself and my work
- International/national work, work can lead onto bigger things and worldwide use, depending on the company?
- Help from freelancers, to improve my freelance work/skills and communication skills
- Working collaboratively, within a company, alongside expertise in specific areas of work to produce impressive design
- Working with briefs given to me, with little guidance but growing independence and knowledge

4. What areas of industry are you interested in?





I like photography, I think it's an effective way to communicate creatively with impact. I especially like this type of photography, rustic, vintage, rough snappy shots. I think this is just something I like, in today's art world it's probably quite hard to apply them to work/design. 



Couple of articles that have used photographs, they're not really that sketchy but, the simplicity of the design. I think photographs say so much, using them with little, if not any type, is something I want to develop. 

How I could use them?

Film posters



so excited

great film

great film
I love film. A good film poster can attract viewers to actually go and see it, it's the closest I can get to working in film other than acting (passion I've had since I was 8 ha). I love the idea of promoting a film through type and really good images. The images you can work can be so interesting. 


 Design contextual work, has shown me these,
Using portrait photography for other design work, nice print work as well, bit of spot varnish. 

I want to photograph famous people, I have kind of been interested in set photography on film sets. Seems pretty exciting. Not much design in that though I suppose.

NHS ad, using intense photography&type to inform/advise. Very effective.

I like the idea of working with the production of good advertisements, here are some I like:






An advertisement, if produced well, can be such an effective way to promote/inform a product/something. I like how they are also mini films, the art direction/production must be exciting and it seems that with the right equipment, anything is possible. 

FILM TRAILERS.







Although I love film/photography, I really like design work as well. I think this is my problem, I just don't know what I should do properly? I'm not sure where I should take my career, there are roads it could go down, it's finding the right one. 

Reminds me of the type of art I looked at during school/Btec. I like it, visually. 



vintage posters, simplicity, block colour. 



Art I like is all so different. 


Design context, majority of work I have seen and liked, and also work that has aided my development and designs.

  1. a commercial is a mini film if done well-consider the famous directors who started life in advertising as art directors/copywriters and went on to direct some iconic films of last century-Hugh Hudson/Alan Parker/David Puttnam. Cant imagine they planned to end up in Hollywood -just enjoyed what they were doing,worked hard and followed opportunities-you don't need to pigeon hole yourself yet.Do work exp with a portrait photographer/get a runners job on a film set/ go work for a film production company-do it all!
