London Visit

I have just returned from a trip to London, we traveled down on the 1st March and stayed there until the 3rd. The reason for the trip was for us to experience Graphic Design in London. Whilst there we were encouraged to visit a design agency so we could show them our portfolio and experience the differences.

As I have done all of my third year projects with a student at college we decided to go on the visits together. We organised two visits. One at Crescent lodge and one at picture, we organised a designer from give up art to sit in with us at the visit at picture as we contacted him also and he worked next door to picture. Our tutors also organised a visit for us at a large design company - Future Brand.

I found the London visit very influential as it opened my eyes to different options. It made me realise that London is a great place to work and has a lot of different opportunities. London has always been an option, we were advised that Manchester is very up and coming in the design world, which is good but I will not rule out London as an option.
