Finding Work Experience
Over the past few weeks, I have been focusing on getting in touch with professionals within the creative industry. I asked around amongst friends, family and peers to source inspiring people that I could possibly talk to and hopefully find work experience through. Currently, I haven't made any decisions on what area of design I want to work in and so I am using this to my advantage by reaching out to anyone I can in order to get a wide scope on things.
In a conversation I had with a friend about my situation, he suggested that I emailed Ray from Wieden and Kennedy. He gave me her personal email and I went ahead and contacted her. She was extremely friendly from the get-go and we began to talk about my situation and how she could help me out.
Wieden + Kennedy
"Wieden + Kennedy exists to create strong and provocative relationships between good companies and their customers"
They recently worked on the well-known Nike campaign 'Nothing beats a Londoner'
String of Emails
Ray and I have been emailing back and forth for a while now, discussing what I am up to and who else I should contact etc. When having this discussing, she suggested I contact a friend of hers who works at Wired Magazine.
As I have a keen interest in editorial design and have previous experience at a magazine publishers, I jumped at the chance to get in touch with him.
Wired
Wired is a well established magazine publishers as well as an online website and blog. I have contacted Andrew about possible work experience and he has confirmed that they can have me in for a couple of weeks once I am finished up in Leeds.
