The tutors arranged a few visits for groups of people on our course whilst we were in London. The agency we visited was called Dew Gibbons which design lots of packaging and products for clients such as Boots and Vidal Sassoon. We walked up quite a few flights of stairs into the top floor of the agency which looked like a flat with a table, sofas and a balcony. This is where the library was kept and looks like a place to relax and research.
We were then shown a presentation on a laptop of past and new work. He showed us expected salaries and their client. We saw mainly packaging design and some 3D design. He also spoke about going on nights out and the design community getting together.
He had actually previously studied at Somerset College where our current tutor Guy Lawrence used to teach. We spoke about his experiences with Guy and we told him ours. We then asked a few questions about his experiences of the industry and the feedback was very good. He advised us to be positive and know what you want to do and you will be fine.
After the talk we had a tour of the studio and met all of the other workers who said they would be happy to take on placements etc which could be an option in the future.
