OUPD201 - Study Task 2 - Response

What is Industrial experience? 

To gain insight into industry practice through working with clients outside of university
Studio placements can vary from a few days to a few months and could possibly lead to potential employment

What can you learn from industrial experience? 

  • Gain further knowledge in all aspects of design
  • Create contacts, meet new people and collaborate with others
  • Industry standard practices
  • How a studio works and how they approach the work they take on
  • Your own work ethic

What form/format could industrial experience take? 
  • Studio visits/placements
  • Freelance work
  • Visiting professionals
  • Feedback from those in industry
  • Working with live clients (freelance)

What areas of industry are you interested in? 

I would say i am most interested in the idea side of the design process. I love thinking up quirky ideas and innovative work arounds. However if i have to choose digital or print i think i would go with print as i love designing and then seeing a final printed 'i can hold it' outcome.

  • Logo design
  • Packaging
  • Infographic

What are your concerns about industrial experience?

Money is a big factor when i think about industrial experience. I would love to tai cup any offers i could get to work places however being unpaid and a student makes both saving money and using money quite difficult.


Stepping into the real world. Even though uni is a big step into the real world, if i mess up on some spelling i get a telling off and to reprint... i don't think i paying customer would be as forgiving.
