Learning Outcomes: 6A2 and 6D2

Within this session, we completed quick idea generation tasked based on our own individual concerns, and questions surrounding our own creative practice. 

Initially, we wrote anything that came to mind on post-it notes. This was helpful as it got me thinking about my own concerns and what I wanted to learn in order to progress into the industry and develop my own practice. we then went round and commented on useful things on everyone else's concerns in the group, we found we all had valid concerns. we then focused on one of our main concerns to see where we could take this further. 

We then researched different solutions to the problems at hand, this was a useful exercise as it gave us the confidence to go forward and gain some helpful tips from my peers.

Work Experience last summer

6A2 6B2

I did some work experience last May for a small start-up fashion company called Arc Minute. They were having a launch for their brand where I helped with the setup. One of the co-founders new I studied graphic design so was asking me about art direction.

For the launch, they hired an old school car to fit the aesthetic and have models in their clothes standing infront and around the car.

I was in charge of the placement of the car and the tape that I stuck to the floor to where each model was going to stand.

Looking back at it now it was my first real experience of art direction and I had the best day. We were working from 8am to 2 am and I enjoyed every second of it. Even though I was not playing a big role the thought process of where the audience was viewing the models in relation to the other aspects that were at the shoot was crucial to make a successful launch.

For further work experience, I think I want to look into a fast pace environment. However, it was such a small team which I was working alongside and as I am unsure about what I want to do after uni I think it would be wise to look into both a small studio environment alongside to gather my thoughts and see how I feel after that.
