STUDIO BRIEF 2 - PART 4 - Linkedin

I have already joined Linkedin but I was not using it as actively as I should be so I found some people that I wanted to connect with

As I've mentioned previously on my blog that one of my dream jobs would be to work at google as a designer or 'doodler' as they are called, I decided to try connect with some of those and find out more about it.

I added a little note saying that I'd love to know more about being a doodler

I also looked at paperchase designers as I could speak to them about how to get into the card industry as I loved designing greetings cards in one of my previous modules. I am hoping to be able to message someone see if there are any placements going or advice on working for a card company. 

Then I don't know why but I thought i'd try my luck with some itv designers.. dream big and all that.. as I think that this is something away from illustration but still an area I am interested in. I would love to work for TV somehow and in advertising.

After this I got quite carried away and tried to connect with lots of designers from things that I like such as television, fashion, products. Areas that were quite commercial but I also knew a lot about. 

I did manage to get a few back straight away which is positive 

With my interests in mocking politics I decided to try connect with Russel Brand too

I then looked at the jobs available 

People to follow off the back of the seminar : 

Tim Wan

Adam Seal

Henry Moore

LCAAlumni

Guest lecturers we have had

Kevin O'Malley

Some jobs I would be capable of doing :

Digital Designer

I think my profiles looking pretty cool now too I used my illustrated image of myself from last years creative cv and uploaded a cover photo of a piece of work I done for threadless t shirt design so that whoever connects with me gets an idea of my 'style' of drawing 

I've only gone and found Neil Buchanan, I told him he's my hero 

I looked on the BBC page on Linkedin and they have this thing called the soap factory whereby online you can create your own scene using the illustrated characters given and I thought, I could design these characters. BBC obviously already have these, but I could do this for any other broadcasting company for their websites. 

I sent a nice message to Mr.Bingo too
