1. What is industrial experience?

Industrial experience is an opportunity to gain an sight into the working enviorment that you are interested in. It gives you the chance to learn from the professionals and their working practices. You can also apply your own skills and what you know, to working situations.


2. What can I learn from industrial experience?

Observing how to work with clients and how new briefs are tackled (whether for large or small businesses - and the differences between them), collaborating with others, communication skills, an insight to the amount of work and the pace expected of you, software skills, working in a professional environment and getting a feel for places.


3. What form/format could industrial experience take?

It could be a day visit, a work placement at a design agency that could last a week or a month or more, freelance work, collaborating with others on a live brief, networking and gaining industry contacts.


4.What areas of industry are you interested in?

Design for print, editorial, advertising, photography, design for screen, motion graphics.


5. What are your concerns about industrial experience?

Moving from the college environment to a professional working studio, being nervous and then not showing the standard of work that I am capable of doing, not making a lasting and good memorable impression, not being able to keep up with the working pace or not fully knowing how to use a certain piece of software.
