A few notes made for Enterprise

Companies

What areas would I like to use these skills in? (Some subject that I enjoy)

-Music Industry
Form, London - All areas of design including music goods.

Also Studio Output, which produces work in all areas of deisgn including music, for this company it would be something like the promotional side or art direction I would like to gain industrial experience with. Also based in Nottingham as well as London.

-Would I need to work for a design company or be part of a design team within a company?

-Clothing (UK)

Bench, should be able to get a placement here. I would like to work with the promotional team and general design team other than the fashion products, shirts ect.

-Magazine - young audience

-Also a few days at a television production team

Evaluating placements

Over the last few weeks I have been looking at design companies I'd like to do a placement with. After the weekend I have thought what kind of job I would like to/ enjoy working as for when I finish university. I think the the area of design I work in is so important to me so I enjoy the place and have fun with what I'm producing. Below are a few different areas I think I would enjoy and have fun producing work for;

-Some company/design studio which basis it's design on promotional goods / concepts.
-I also enjoy having fun with branding, just general design for companies
-I would also like to work with art directors for the experience of learning how they produce a concept and how the idea is then produced by other designers in the team. Concepts are something I enjoy thinking about, creating something original. If I had the chance to send off some work to apply for a placement I have the Warp brief and other conceptual designs that may be shown as a PDF

So the main areas for me are promotional, branding and conceptual idea generations.

What areas would I like to use these skills in? (Some subject that I enjoy)
-Music Industry
-Would I need to work for a design company or be part of a design team within a company?
-Clothing

-Also a few days at a television production team

I can now look for design aspect within these areas.
