Industrial experience is experience in the real world of design, designing for real briefs and actual clients, also working with professionals in a studio.
What can you learn from industrial experience?
Industrial experience can give you confidence as a designer as you will become more familiar in a real working environment and learn things about communicating with clients and meetings also will gain experience with the costing side of design.
What form/format could industrial experience take?
Industrial experience could take the form of studio visits, placements, freelance work.
What areas of industry are you interested in?
I am interesting in packaging design and am constantly finding my interest in this gets greater and greater as I look at other designers work. Below are a few examples of the kind of packaging design I am interested in which I found on pinterest.
I am also currently becoming interested in web design as we start to learn more about it in studio workshops, as I like the idea of designing well designed, cleanly layed out, easily navigable web pages as I really dislike bad and hard to use websites.
I also am extremely interested in designing for festivals as they're something I'm passionate about, if there was a way I could experience something like this in real life for my placement that would be amazing. Designing things like wristbands, line up posters, websites, programmes and even artwork/installations in the festival field.
T-shirt design is something I am interested in and thinking about looking more into t-shirt designs and start designing again.
What are your concerns about industrial experience?
I am concerned about not being knowledgable enough to have a placement in a bigger scale design studio and generally anxious about venturing out into the real world of design for the first time.
