PPD Workshop

List 5 (or more) things you know now that you didn’t before the break:

  • Every studio differs; it is about finding my place within the industry
  • Researching and contextual referencing is essential & needs to be from a diverse range of sources
  • I'd ideally want to work within a small independent studio 
  • Invoice a client - potentially request half of the payment upfront & don't get ripped off
  • Detail (in terms of design) is key. 

List 5 (or more) things you would address differently than you did this Summer:

  • Be more pro-active and prioritise my time more effectively
  • To be more conceptual — I tend to stick with what I am most comfortable or familiar with
  • Be more engaged with networking (online and offline)
  • Ring design studios and devise a mailer as opposed to e-mailing studios
  • Be more confident & communicate more

List 5 (or more) specific things you will address this Semester, that should be useful:

  • Try and improve my pitching & presenting skills - to be confident about my ideas and in general
  • Blog all the time and be consistent
  • Not leave things (tasks) to the last minute - when given, do them straight away so its still fresh
  • Go outside - to galleries, events, talks etc
  • Take full advantage of everything that is available to me - utilise it!

List 5 (or more) things you feel we could address as a group?

  • Approaching a live project - legalities, things we need to look out for
  • Costing - what's fair? (To us and client)
  • Copyrighting work
