Discovering Companies

We discussed as a group and also researched individually companies that we wanted to contact. We chose companies that we liked the work of and how they came across as these were the type of companies we would contact for a job in the future.
Researching into the companies showed extra effort and we had a step up going in to the meetings as we could share our opinion on their work and that extra bit of knowledge goes a long way.

Companies contacted through the search

Raw
Leith
Like a river
Glorious creative
Dinosaur
Design by day
Cahoona
Creative Spark

Building up questionnaire

Having good questions was the key to getting a reply we had to think
carefully about the main answers we wanted as the shorter and snappier the
questions were, the more likely we would get our answers.

(Put all questions in and explain why we chose them)

ADD LETTER/Thanks a latte.

Visiting companies.

After receiving a few email replies we were happy with the answers but we wanted the feel of actually being within the designing environment so we made
the move of phoning companies and asking if we could arrange a meeting.
We managed to get 4 meetings in total
Design by day
Glorious designs
Dinosaur
Creative spark
which we were very pleased about.
Most of them were with creative directors which as first was quite daunting
but they were chatty and friendly and gave us some great advice.

It also gave us an idea of what type of design agency we wanted to work for,
some were really laid back where as others had a real ‘business’ atmosphere
about them.

Evaluation

This module has really helped our knowledge on the design industry, we have come to realise that each design agency is completely different in they way they work and each have a different approach to handling briefs and clients.
Although they each had the same bit of advice – never give up. It’s a fierce competition out there but many said it doesn’t necessarily matter about your skills, its your drive and passion that will get you there.

It also learnt us that communication was a factor, we got more meetings and replies when we rang up companies rather than an email, we feel its more personal.

EVALUATION.

My Group (Palak, Lauren and Charlotte) and I started with the idea of sending coffee beans as our way to communicate. Our idea was theme was based around ‘thanks a latte’ a mean for them to invite us in for a chat and we would bring their choice of coffee. It was loosely based around brown, black and off white.

We started off with deciding to send the coffee beans by post, but then decided, this way we may not be interact with them personally if they decided to send us the paper questionnaire back. Also counting up the companies, we started making up calls, in my experience, I realize that calling in and asking for an ‘interview regarding their experience’ was not as successful then ask them ‘if we can come in for a friendly chat and we would bring treats with us?’ This friendly way worked very well and we managed to get 2 invites to the studio.

For myself promotional, I was inspired by my passion for fairy tales and Harry Potter’s every favour beans. I thought the style used to show the different favour beans was a brilliant way to chart my USP words that described me. Play along with packaging and the way to show my UPSs. I found 7 seven that in jelly beans that I would experiment around. I decided to get around 6-7 different colours jelly beans that would be my talents in the design world. Experimented with packaging got be slight disappointed, as I wanted to do something more exciting with myself promotional. Whilst research a little more according to my personal interests I found out that I particularly love books and though of completing changing my idea into my set of boxes that would be design like a book and will have sweets in them. The packaging design based around penguin classic book covers. I thought the story synopsis would be my strongest point to prove my UPS.

I’m very happy with my outcome of myself promotional and this project. I believe I did myself in it and if I had to change or improve anything, I would like to experiment more.
