The 3 best pieces of advice i have been given this year...
I felt it only fitting to leave this blog post until last, advice can come at anytime throughout the year.
First of all, from Adam Graff, he had alot of great advice in his talk, none more so than,
"Draw what you love, you will be commisioned based on what is in your portfolio"
Second was from Jo Spicer in class,
"Become a mini expert"
Sounds simple and obvious I know but it really hit home and gave me alot of confidence in the work I both had been doing and about to do going forward.
And finally from my talk with Ben Jones on my final blog interview,
"dont be a dick to people"
Sure, in the wrong context this can sound quite silly, but how true and appropriate it is, we all work for one another with what we do, word it however you like, that is the underlying message always.
The final tuesday club of the year - Steven Swanborough
Tuesday 21st April 2015
Final tuesday club of level 5 and it comes from an ex student who has very successfully transitioned his education at Stockport college into a very successful Manchester based design company...
The Neighborhood
http://www.the-neighbourhood.com/
Its always a great learning curve for us to hear from an ex pupil who definitely speaks how it is in the real world and what employers are actually looking for. As an illustrator, I found alot of the work he and his company do really didnt have much impact on me and my direction, i wasnt sure how much input he himself had on the work he showed to us, it was a great sales pitch for the company as a whole but maybe not so much for Steve, who we were all there to see and hear.
But it was great to hear how fondly he spoke of Stockport college and how the tutors still do of him as a student success story.
Over all this was very much worthwhile, if just to hear an inside veiw on the hiring process we all hope to go through in the near future!
im giving this talk 5/10
