OUGD502 - PPP2 Session 1

Today we had our first PPP session with John. He was very insightful about getting placements and how to go about getting them. 
Here are some notes that I made:

  • Ask for a studio visit rather than a placement when you first talk to a  studio. When they ask you if you have any questions, then raise the point that you want a placement.
  • Make friends, make mentors, get close to them all for networking
  • Networking is meeting people and staying in touch with them
  • Ask studios about 3/4 questions and make one of them 'is there anyone else I should be talking to?'
  • Things studios look for in a graduate: sense of humour, point of view, ability and someone who will fit in
  • Facebook for professionals is Linkedin
He contacted Mike Salisbury asking him about his 'legendary branding' slogan, and they started talking. Mike has come up with:
  • Michael Jackson's white glove
  • Levis 501
  • Apocalypse Now branding
  • Halo game branding
Look at:
  • Snask
  • Minimallyminimal
