OUGD602: External Engagement Report

From my external engagement this year I have not only gained a sense of what I'm doing next but I have actively set up the path I need to start following. From my work placements I have continued placements into the summer. From my portfolio reviews I have plenty of work to develop, things to make and briefs to extend. From my external briefs such as Triptych and Hyperloop I have an idea of how industry works and a plan for a future business. And from my networking events I have a list of new connections to contact about future possibilities. Because of the work in PPP I now have a clear direction; not of where I'm going to be in 5 years but what I'm going to start doing straight after our final hand in.


I have been able to develop the specialisms I love and I now have the avenues and experience to start pursuing them, and a versatile brand I can adapt to each subject as I see fit. Although I don't have a fully developed brand it has the potential to grow with me. PPP has given me the chance to start exploring what I want to do after university, and because of this I am no longer terrified to graduate. Thanks to all of the engagement I certainly feel a lot more confident and experienced in tackling new challenges, from hanging an exhibition to entering a new studio environment.
