London ,July 2009
This is where design graduates get to show off their wares, hopefully people in the trade will offer work or purchase designs.
It was very inspiring to look round and the work on show was of a high standard.I do feel that the current financial climate has had an impact on the work market as none of the graduates i spoke to had secured any long term employment.
I was interested to discover that several of the graduates had not used computers in any of their work ,instead they had opted for all hand produced designers. One girl had sold her hand produced wallpaper for £800 per roll. How ever most graduates did feel that the use of cad was necessary to succeed in the industry
It was very useful to get ideas about how to and how not to display your work, some methods of display really let the work down and others were very successful.I look forward to next years show !
