Enterprise Task 1

Client Groups:

  • Music
  • Sport
  • Education
  • Charity
  • Publishing
  • Retail
  • Technology
  • Finance
  • Property
  • Health
  • Hospitality

My interests and experiences have been varied so far but the Client group i am most interested in at the moment is the music industry, its a large part of my life and I attendent a lot of live gig's and music events. I feel that Branding and identity is most suited for my skills and ambitions. 

Branding and Promotion has always been an intrest of mine, in the past i have collected various band promotional stickers, logo's, album artwork and special edition album packaging. My current range of skills in concept development, print and type i believe that i would benefit a small design agency with a fresh outlook on branding and identity, i am also very ambitious to learn new design techniques to further my experience. The skill i am trying to develop the most is my concept development, this is key for a small studio to help with collaborations and to get a project done quickly.

My preferred place of work would be a small design agency where i can collaborate and focus on a few projects in detail where i can see my work from start to finish. I ideally want to work in a small studio where i can collaborate with designers on projects with a variety of skills. A smaller specialist design agency is far more appealing to me which can focus on print finishes and type. I want to work in a city which is where the majority of design agency's flourish and its also where the majority of the money within graphic design is. The idea of working at a creative fast paced design studio with a secure salary is my current goal.

I would also consider working abroad to broaden my experience of different cultures and how it influences design. Working in England is appealing to build up experience, but with my south african back ground and being bilingual i have always considered working outside the UK. Promoting myself and my skills is also a important factor to find work and producing work within my spare time and getting it out in the real world is another factor which will attract employers to me and set me apart from all the other designers.
