Overview of Placement

I have really enjoyed my work placement at Big Wave Media it has been a really insight to how the industry works, and I have learnt a lot. Dan Tofield, Head of Creative Services has invited me back whenever I want. I received positive feedback from Account Managers (who review my work) said I was no problem as my main concern originally, was being a burden to the team but it turned out I was an asset to the team which made me feel rather proud. The team of designers/web developers were a really nice bunch too. 

Stuff I have learnt: 

• Being a tidy designer! 
• Working to protocol
• Working within Brand Guidelines and working on other designers work took a couple days getting used to. 
• Working with Clients and understanding the clients needs and exactly what they have specified 
• Working as a team of designers 
• Working within a time frame
• Simply working 8.30-17.30 infront of an iMac on the Adobe Software was a learning curve
• Working on up to 20 Design Amendments a day
• New Shortcuts 
• Improved Adobe Software skills 

Overall, I have a much more positive outlook, and now placement is out the way I can really focus on Extended Practice.
