Where
are my potential clients/employers located?
My clients are manly based in built up areas
like cities and towns. These are the places that house businesses big and small,
which need an identity, branding, advertising and products, made for them. I can
imagine to compensate for the huge amount of businesses the Graphic Design
companies will be based there also. Cities such as New York, London, Amsterdam
are known for there design culture and a lot of designers wish to end up there
but all cities will house a number of design firms within them also. I know of
successful designers working in quite villages but the way they succeed is not
having close competition.
What media do my
potential Clients/employers use:
Clients will use
different media compared to the employers. Clients will very rarely have the
design software which we use so sending work in that form will not work. Using
formats such as jpgs and pdfs will be how clients very the work we have
produced for them. It depends what profession in design what media you use as
there are a lot of different medias and software to go with it. Such as web
based design or design for print (to name a few) work on different media one
for screen one is paper based.
What do you need to
communicate and how does it match what your employer/client needs?
For clients I need to
communicate that I have been successful in pervious works as they often what to
see what you have already produced. You want them to have confidence in your
design ability. To employers I want to show off my skills also but more in the
thinking process and in the way I produce work. They need to know that I will
fit in with the way their business functions.

I plan to work in a
city where the cliental and employers are found. Working an in a couple of
small established companies to experiment with different working styles/design
methods and production which will be able to focus what sort of designer I am. I
feel rather than the location of a company I feel the media on which companies use
will have a greater impact on my design technique. Even in education have experienced
a great amounts of media and I will enjoy undergoing professional practices.
