The final aspect of my industry involvement/experience came by means of an interview for a work placement and the possibility of a full time job at Golden Studios; a studio based in The Penthouse, Call Lane Leeds. This interview experience was actually very important for two major reasons.
The first of the reasons revolves around that fact that the interview also acted as a means of having my interviewing style, appearance as a designer and overall portfolio evaluated by some of the graphic designers from the Golden Studio team. This proved to provide me invaluable information including where to change my portfolio for future interview, an insight in to how I come across in studios and just generally advice of which will benefit my massively through my career as a designer. The second and most important piece of understanding/experience that the interview offered me with was the successful securing of a two week paid work placement at the studio with the possibility of being kept on for full time work depending on my performance during the placement. This placement will provide me with endless vital experience that can not be obtained through classical education alone, aspects of which can only be learnt in the real world graphic design industry.
Overall this experience has aided me massively off the back of the invaluable advice that I gained through the interview and even more crucial design experience that I will gain through the completing of the placement. The decision was made to partake in the design placement during the start of summer, June 12 - 26 specifically due to the fact that I believe that this design experience will prove most valuable once out of education. This decision was also made due to the fact that I want to leave my opportunities open to stay at Golden for longer than originally planned, if the work placement goes well enough.
