We have had a fair few Guest Lecturers in this part of the course which I have found really useful for our project, One recently being Adam Brandon, a young graphic designer, art director, motion designer, typographer, digital film maker, animator, 3d artist or 'Creative'.
He gave us a run through of some of the projects he's worked on since leaving University which I must say was quite outstanding. I'm not sure if its the norm, but it sounded like he's done really well for himself.
Some of the projects included working on The Oscars, with BT, PlayStation, Samsung, Footlocker and many more. I could tell that this type of job required long hours in front of a computer, a route I cant say I'm overly fussed about going down, however you could really see his passion.
Most of these projects came from working for a company called The Mill. This stood out to me as a really great way to start a career as they gave him so many opportunities to work with big name brands and companies.
He also pointed out that even if you have a great idea that you want to run with that someone's you have to do things you don't want to do or work within a brief and sometimes even create things that you hate that the client will love. It was nice have a lecture from someone younger that has done well for themselves who wasn't patronising or arrogant about their career.
