York Launch
My professional practice for York St John
University is an example of external engagement with an institution – the
project was especially relevant to position statement.
York ISBN
The project required the need for
commercial attributes such as ISBN and the issuing of copyright.
Intern Kill Fee
An experience as a professional
practitioner, the relationship with
Intern Magazine was an example of a kill fee – a payment in order to cease and
credit work up to the point
Interviewing LAW, MUSHPIT
Interviewing style press mags LAW and
MUSHPIT exemplifies my external engagement with relevant businesses. Both
magazine reflect the work I intend to do post graduation.
Tank Magazine
A recent interview with TANK magazine
reflects my enthusiasm for style orientated printed publications. Responding to
a call for interns, I sent a PDF portfolio of recent work alongside a covering
letter, my enquiry was met with a response and an interview was organized.
Arriving on time (ofcourse) the interview was an informal discussion about my
own practice, my intent as a designer as well as TANK’s working environment and
the projects that partake in on a daily basis.
The interview itself was an opportunity to
network with my desired industry as well as posing the question of post
graduate study or work to the creative director to benefit my own decision
making – she believed a post graduate study would be of benefit if I was to be
a teacher or can afford the luxury. Reiterating several opinions I had
previously received, this advice concluded to more productive than the
interview.
Although I was offered the placement at
TANK Magazine, the offer of 6 weeks unpaid with expenses echoes a discussion I
made in the article for Intern Magazine, as a northern student I am a
disadvantage in regards to entering the creative industry’s capital and the
ability to intern within the city without it being incredibly expensive.
