GOT A PLACEMENT!!!!!!!!!!
I attended the interview for Graham and Brown and found the head office building in Blackburn. The outside and inside was fascinating to look at as it was clean, modern and inviting. I waited for my interview and meet two ladies from the design department who asked me to set up my portfolio in the design room.
We then discussed how long that I would like a work placment for and they offered 3weeks over the summer but this wouldnt be possible due to me going to DISNEY. So they said they would discuss it after I had left and they said they would contact me that day to let me no if I had been successful. WHICH I WAS!!!
I was offered just one weeks placement but this wont be until September, week commencing 13th 2010 as they said they were fully booked until then.
I have accepted the placement and look forward to starting.
Once getting onto my work placement I hope to learn more about the design process of wallpaper prints, I hope to learn more about various job roles, understand what it takes to be part of the team, learn more print making skills and also get valuable experience within the design world that could help me get a job in the future.
Graham and Brown will be able to teach me good team working skills, practical skills and imaginative skills within there work place that will help me with my current work and surface pattern module.
I am really excited to start my placement!!!
PLUS ALL SET FOR DISNEY!!!
I showed my portfolio of work along with sketchbooks.
The feedback I recieved was that they liked my work and one lady said "Sketchbooks are very important as they show use your ideas and design process and she gave me a huge smile" giving me the impression mine was ok to view.
They loved my work particarly the CD work due to the surface pattern qualities.
