Introduction

Today we started our Professional Studies assignment, which I have learned is a bit more in-depth then it was last year. Our lecturer, Catherine explained to us the objectives of the brief. This year it seems there is a lot more consideration and individual work that needs to be done. In our quest to become more professional designers, we must examine the ways of existing designers, to find out what they have experienced, uncover more about the design industry, and learn valuable lessons which will aid us in our own careers in it. Our main task in the brief is to make ourselves ready to realistically start working in the design industry. The best way to start is to get you known throughout the design world, whether it’s by freelancing, portfolios, or even by making blogs and entering online design competitions. I felt the best way to start was to create a blog of my experiences over the next few months working toward being in the design industry.
