Well what can I say its been a very very very long time since I last uploaded a blog on here and what do I have to show for it... I'm not going to lie its not much. From the word "summer holiday" I was back into full time work oh but not one job, I had two jobs because what I came to realise that uni isn't cheap. First your put into £6000+ of debt a year (ouch) and then on top of that you have to pay for living so whats sad is that you don't even see any of that huge debt that you make and yet you still need more money just to survive!! So the two jobs has helped me get back on track...well until the end of the year where it all starts again and so that is why I came to the decision to apply for internships.
Over the summer I have been mainly researching into different internships that pay you to work for them over a period of 3 months. The main ones in which I am particularly interested in are ea games and pixar. Though the chances are very bleak I am still going to apply for them. They are situated in London and Americam, America does sound daunting but if I could get the chance then I would be there. I plan to apply before christmas giving me time to create a good show reel and profile though I know I will be needing alot of help with this.
I was inspired to make this decision by my shadow day at 4T2 Designs. A company that I went to visit in June. After talking to all of the designers it showed me how much all students are not ready for the working world and how much of a shock it will be when they finish uni, so what better way of getting experience then a internship.
I will continue to keep you updated on my progress of this plan hopefully I will get some good results.
