Self promotion Session

How to use a university project to launch your career


max 2-3 competition briefs on portfolio 
how to use a university project to launch your career 
An unpaid internship in London costs £1019 a month
high outlay - high risk 
what you get from an internship - experience, contacts and mentorship - make your own experience 
if you're not getting something valuable out of it - leave 

promoting yourself as in your work is 1000% worth it 
turn heroes into collaborators - helps with a clear proposal


cool bus
a mobile graphic design studio 
day 1 - taken good pictures telling their story 
saving from summer jobs to set you up 

consider alternatives to unpaid internships e.g. travelling
personal interests into professional ambition - the more interesting you seem the more potential you have for higher jobs 
make enemies gain fans - book 
when you make something no one hates no one loves it 
go viral 
To stand out can you engage with employees through another format - video
platforms such as linkedIn and social media to enhance connections 

Hyper Island (Stockholm agency - if from Sweden then free internship)

The pop up agency 
15 briefs, 15 cities 
a project can be the basis of a sustainable business  
take 40 grand for a job 
would you rather get a £50 or £900 phone - comparison
if you're going to take risks make sure its worth It 

International design conference 
fail quickly fail often 
dream big - experiment - push limits



don't do a brief for the sake of it - do it to get yourself out there and the vision etc
ambitious for a job something - make it work


brief concept - to launch our career - how to promote ourselves - job after uni

like the Spotify woman - listing songs on Spotify and got job




good idea well communicated - simple but engaging
Michael William's - character building
blog everything - if you've tried and didn't work or if did
something to put in real world - the application of it
the archive of strategy
try things and blog - like sent emails - got bad response or changed something etc
interest could be travelling
