Tuesday morning.
After your degree : The first steps (Games) - James Boydell
The good thing about this week is we don't have to predominantly have to stay in our subject matter,
Which is why on Tuesday morning we went to see a former Glyndwr student, who graduated with a first in computer games design in either in 2010 or 2011 (he wasn't sure... although his old tutor seemed to know more.)
he now works down in London for a small games company Dreadnought Design working on games for smartphones and iOS.
The key to this talk was how he got where he did after graduating working a shitty job for a while he soon managed to get his foot in the industry.
Being a Twitter user myself I know the work that come through with this and with the internet age networking is easier than ever. This was a massive point in his talk and something we are currently looking at in the creative futures course (or Professional Development...same thing)
Knowing how to put yourself out there websites business cards a branding for yourself as when you leave the safety cushion of university life you are competing in a huge market. Give yourself the best start you can.
