Procon PDP Overview of PC3
1. Placements
- Transmission Creative – July 2014 – 2 weeks (unpaid work experience).
- Transmission Creative – September 2014 – Present (paid internship).
After meeting Transmission during Self-Promotion, I decided I liked his ethos and want for ideas, so emailed him for a placement. He had been impressed with our unconventional photo reel of bad design questions and obliged. He also asked that I suggest a friend and get them to send a CV and portfolio (I suggested Liam).
During these two weeks, we helped on a self-promotion branding for themselves, web design, mailer design, and motion storyboarding. We worked at a fast pace whilst regularly being stopped to receive feedback. We also helped with the copywriting, which was interesting to see them print 80+ versions of the same paragraph, worded slightly different, putting emphasis on the importance of tone of voice, something I’m personally interested in, and helped with a lot.
After a meeting with Dave, Transmission’s Printer, we were taken out for a meal and drinks, to network alongside Grant, our creative director, Dave. This enabled us to witness the relationship first-hand and ask questions specific to print.
After my placement finished, I was delighted when Grant, the creative director at Transmission Creative, got in touch with paid work. I started back in September working one day a week, getting paid, helping with research for a major on-going project and helping with other branding. I am still currently working there refining Transmissions self-promotion, soon to go live with a new website and mailer. Whilst at Transmission I have re-designed a logo for a company called ‘Boots and Beats’ that was chosen by the client. I have been told that there will be work for me when graduate.
As well as getting a feel for a professional working environment, I have had great experience working to deadlines, learning new skills in adobe and general research skills. As well as this, I feel I have built up a great relationship with Transmission both professionally and personally, I feel comfortable in studio with the whole studio, and have been out for social drinks/networking events on numerous occasions.
