This module was great for my confidence, at the beginning of the year I felt no confidence in approaching professionals but as we were pushed to do so and realise that most people are generally quite friendly. This made it easily the next time and then the next and the next. Emails would often take me weeks to write because of redrafting whereas now I can do quickly and efficiently
Personally, branding has been something I avoided because I felt it was not necessary until I went to D&AD and was asked multiple times for a business card which completely shifted my view. I really enjoyed branding myself I tried to keep the process fast and fun with my own personal traits informing the direction.
Placements were a big part of my learning this year and they were very helpful for gaining some professional confidence. I will continue to approach professionals and studios in the hope of creating links and finding opportunities. My next step is to go to Offf festival in Barcelona to do some more work while I'm there I will aim to visit some studios also.
My plans for summer are to first relax and regather my thoughts, I have a month internship sometime later this year and I would like to embark on my own research project also at some point. Hopefully allowing me to cycle around the UK and visit studios. And I will for sure brew my next beer!
Overall I have really enjoyed this module and within the three years it has become second nature for me to keep up to scratch with whats happening in all parts of the creative industry, I love going to talks and hearing about what the next big thing will be, this is something I will carry with me.
