Building on your continued familiarisation with the creative industries and prompted by the need for even more engagement with professional contacts, you are required to seek out an industry practitioner or practice who you will base a report on.
The completed report should utilise your skills as both a creative and a researcher and make use of material drawn from at least one personal interview with an appropriate spokesperson to then culminate in an insightful overview of a contemporary industry figure or organisation. Your interview can be carried out in person or via phone, Skype or email. Supporting sessions will offer guidance regarding the approaching and interviewing of subjects
You should aim to subsequently develop a report that is engaging in terms of both its style and content. The completed report should be submitted as a digital Issuu publication posted to your PPP blog and needs to communicate your interview subject's route into industry and identify where their creative practice is currently situated.
This project provides a crucial opportunity to reach out and make connections with creatives in the professional industry. There were many people that I could have chosen to interview from a range of Graphic Design studios, however I chose to interview an individual who I related to more personally.
Will Knight is a recent Graphic Design graduate from the University of Brighton. We grew up in the same town in the North of England and attended the same high school where we shared a studio. His current work explores similar topics to my own, including themes of the North and society. Myself and Will share many mutual friends and this brief gave me an opportunity to start a discussion and connect a peer and potential collaborator.
