On Friday we had the privilege of having a talk from Alex Ostrowiski. A young designer doing exactly what we all would love to be doing. He gave some crucial advice as someone who has been approaching people for work and making contacts in the design industry. He mentioned how it is important to build a rapport, a conversation rather than a request for a job or a placement. Other than his advice on getting work when we leave he showed us a collection of his work which has got him where he is now. A mix of fantastic ideas and well executed design solutions. The 'NOTE TO SELF' book was a great piece of work. It was designed to fulfill a competition brief which insisted it was to be A3 size and have only 16 pages. He created a book of reminders, beautifully illustrated little messages to inspire. He is currently working for YCN doing some great work which I hope to one day be doing.
Was a great time to have the talk from Alex and will definitely put us in a good frame of mind on the run-in to the end of our time at uni.
