OUGD602 / PPP / Design Talk / OFFSET Dublin (need to complete)

Design TALKS

After attending Offset last year in Sheffield, I managed to gain a lot of useful information about different career paths and how to keep improving as a designer. It was only going to benefit me even more by going to Offset Dublin this year especially because you have so many speakers from across the globe who are willing to talk about their career paths and work all in one place.

I personally prefer going to design a conference with a wide range of people as it allows me to soak up as much design inspiration as possible in a small amount of time.

OUGD602 / PPP / Networking / Global Brand Manager - Adidas

As part of my feedback process I usually post my work on reddit, this allowed me to gain fundamental feedback on my extended practice project.The feedback became more crucial when the former Global Brand Manager of Addias gave me more information on how to improve on the campaign. 

As the information was really constructive, I wanted to keep in contact with him and by doing this I asked for his email in a sensible manner.

Hello,

Thank you for the constructive critique of my equality design work using the adidas brand as a global message and endorsement with this equality of right agenda and the global campaign for my final year.

I would be appreciative if I could retain your details as a future contact source in offering me critical feedback on my work as this has been invaluable on this occasion.

With Regards,

Harrison Wheatley

This is the aspect of networking which I thought wasn't even possible, using my work to gain a contact which can have an impact on my future career path has been a fundamental skill I have learnt this year.
