Work Experience Evaluation

6B2

Evaluation on work experience

I received an internship for an emerging fashion company. They offered me the role of head of creative. I worked with the company for one month. I designed website banners which I have attached in the PDF. This experience was not as beneficial as they would ask me to do stuff which was not graphic design related, for instance write description of clothing and alter the pricing. They also gave me photography which had copyright issues. Ethically I did not feel comfortable working for a company which used secondary images and did not state the source. I have attached these designs in the work experience PDF folder. The company were not punctual and would attend meetings one hour late. I would travel from Leeds to Birmingham and would make the meeting on time. Overall, I learnt from this experience, that for my own business I will make sure ethically things are correct and images will be my own images. I will also make sure I am punctual. 

This experience has encouraged me to aim higher, at more well-known brands such as Boohoo and ISAWITFIRST. I will work hard this year in creating my CV and Portfolio. I have also made a fashion look-book to send off to agencies. 

I have also had a placement at INFINTRA360. This company is an engineering company who I worked with in my second year. They asked me to rebrand their logo. I felt this work experience was more beneficial as the company was ethically right. There was no copyright issues and the company were well organised.
