3 Professional Practice 

 Yo-yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble 

What I got from today’s professional practice lecture.Was to have an insight into the careers we choose to take.  Taking the skills we learn at university’s and putting in to practice into the workplace. The ways that this can happen is through internships to gain expensive. However, they can lead to exploitation of your skills. 

* From university to work. Internship, alternative, exploitation. 

Being able to create to your heart’s content by getting involved in the professional industry. Internships can lead to jobs but can also lead to not getting a job and but being trapped in a cycle of internships.  

Ultimately creating this connection with the creative industry is a factor in helping you make the next step to help become involved in the industry. Being able to relate to people on a professional level but also personally.  Be able to express who we are as designers through our work. This would enable us to see what we are as creatives enabling us to define our personal style. 

Being creative a designing for a purpose. Using the skills we have gathered over the course at university to see design differently and how it is possible to see a change in the purpose of design. Looking at the way we say things and the choice of words we use as well as what we say can impact, connect and define the purpose of what you are trying to design and how it is received.
