gonna talk about breaking into the industry, free work etc

LCF

• do research beyond ounterest, eg don't look at design for design inspiration to get an outcome that hasn't been done before. also ind out if your specific idea has been done before
• invest time and if you can money into your uni projects, it's really an investment into your own career
• be nice to people
• team up with people that will elevate your work, had 4 porjects to put in her portfolio coming out of uni
• planning is important, if you just go in on the day you may or may not get good results but if you plan you increase the likelihood
• do a lot of shitty work while you're at uni
• Repeat ideas you've worked on in the past, do them better to get development. Eventually you can take inspiration from your own work develop a style
• delegate things - can't compete witha full time retoucher

portfolio stuff

• select our best most releant work
• focus on the type of work you want to be doing - it#s like a stpre window people will comission you for smilar work (perhaps diff for graphic design)

lcf pigeons and peacocks magazine working on clean, hyper controlled style spent months sourcing furntiure painting it etc

after uni stuff

hashtag personal branding

• design everything around you eg your website, instagram , emails, invoices, proposals
• send work to media folk - they need stuff to publish, you need eyeballs
• be nice to people (again), keep working with people who show up on time and do the work
