Industrial experience to me is working in a professional working atmosphere, meeting deadlines and producing work for live briefs. My opinion is based on previous work done outside university. There are different types of industry experience and It can involve working under someone, shadowing them and learning from them or it could involve working independently while producing live briefs that may or may not be used in a companies campaign.
The key thing that I have learnt from Industry experience is that the is no space for error and deadlines are a big factor in keeping things running smoothly. You also learn how to work in a professional atmosphere and gain a real understanding of the pressure's that are faced in a work place. Working in a team is usually very important and comes into practice when doing work placements.
I have previously worked in a printing and packaging factory and found it very interesting. I realised how design is filtered down from the studio to actual print production.
I am very interested in moving image and would love to gain some experience in a design suit that is focused on editing or even being behind the camera filming and shooting. I would also really enjoy being part of producing 'positive social change' adverts/campaigns. I feel this is were design is most effective and influential.
I am concerned about the fact that I am still unsure of the pathway that I eventually want to end up in. However I believe that gaining experience in any working environment is vital to finding out where I eventually want to end up...
