D&AD Second Day - Volunteering


Second Day 

This was my first day working, I had to man the doors of a stage for the day. I actually really enjoyed myself because I met a lot of interesting people also volunteering. The whole thing is really tiring though and at times just badly organised but I was happy to just go with it. I managed to speak to Ollie from superimposed studio about there Murrow culture project and about a possible day or two shadowing them to get an idea of how they work. I also met a film director and art space business owner who agreed to have a look at my portfolio for me and told me to get in contact with factory 15. I met a lady from Switzerland who was studying a masters in Ravensbourne it was nice to get her perspective on the industry and how she found herself back studying. I met some Lua students also I’ve learnt that I do actually need a business card. That I should not take myself to seriously as this really comes across not always in the best way. Networking can be fun. That life is not entirely about finding a job and to be easier on myself when not always approaching someone I felt like I should have. I do think that d&ad should pay for our travel expenses





Getting in contact will Ollie was something I aimed to achieve from the start of the year. 


A follow up email trying to find some more placements
