work with Frogdesign?

Your adventures could well start here, check out the link, get a placement, live happily ever after.

Seriously though - check this out. As we have been stressing, if you start to be proactive things will  always happen:

Ride the Flux?

Following on from what I talked about last week re: thinking outside of the box and making  your own opportunities, a thought provoking little piece...

Document your Process

I would like to introduce you to Richard Walters.
You may well know Richard, he graduated last year and is currently working on a live Point of Purchase project on a freelance basis.

I have had the pleasure of offering some input into the project, which is currently being mocked up in foam, in the workshop.

A point that we have discussed, and most relevant to this blog, is the documentation of live projects.

Evidence, that is what we are talking about.

More specifically evidence of process; the decisions you have made, working with potential end-users, building full sized ergonomic mock ups etc. etc. Employers are interested in process. Document it.

This will add a human dimension to your portfolio and provide a starting point for conversations at interview.

Please speak to Richard if you see him around; he is a most approachable chap and generally all-round good egg!

Hello: this is me

Enjoy. Be Inspired. Work Hard. Have Fun. Design.

Infinity and Beyond...

A very warm welcome to this blog which we hope will build into an inspirational resource providing you young designers with valuable insight into the varied and exciting array of opportunities that await you beyond the perimeter fence of UWE (and how to make the most of your time at university in terms of preparation for a design-related career).

As an overview, myself and David Henshall, working with the second years have constructed an onion. An onion-shaped graphic that is which symbolises your journey outwards from UWE, perhaps via a work placement and into your first job.
