Overall this unit as a whole has been very beneficial to me as it gave me a chance to interact with some creative practitioners that I aspire to be like and that work in exactly the same field of design that I dream to work in, I usually never have this interaction and it has helped me massively to solidify which way I want to go with my career after university asa without this I still think I would be clueless and would have no idea with where I would like to go with my education.
I think it will transpire in to the final year of my education as from this unit I have come to realise that I need to concentrate on editorial in the third year through practical projects and cop theoretical work as this is truly what I want to do in the future.
Speaking to these creative practitioners has helped me as I learnt a lot of about what people go through in their journey to becoming an editorial designers and what I may face a long the way. It has also given me an insight in to how different people tackle different problems in their own different ways and truly overall that to be the best designers I can be I need to find myself and what I really believe in as this personality and attitude will not only transfer in to the graphic design work that I create but also in to how I can over come and problems I may face a long the way and the process I will go through when completing a brief.
It has also opened my eyes to a few new possibilities that I will have within my role as a designer in the editorial industry as through the message of various different practitioners I have gained an insight in to what the graphic design industry can be like not only in the UK, or Europe but even further afield in places such as the United Arab Emirates and this has opened my eyes up to the possibilities of where I could possibly find work in the future.
The final aspect that it hasn't yet decided but has only just got me thinking about is the possibilities of where I can work, not geographically but actually situation based. This is due to the fact that after conversing with designers of which work as solo independent and free lance designers, designers who work as part of a small local and large international studio and furthermore designers who work as a head at an in house design studio within a large corporation and this has opened my eyes to the many possibilities of places that I could work in the future.
Overall this has been very beneficial to me as I believe through it I have taken a massive leap in how I see myself as a professional and not just a student and hope i will be able to further this next year.
