Placement Planning

For this project, BA6, we need to complete a work placement which will give us an opportunity to see what working in the design industry is like. We have to create a 2,000 word report based on our time at our placement, what we have learnt and how we plan to incorporate into our work.

We need to contact placement opportunities ourselves to arrange at least a weeks worth of time alongside the company/designer in order to gain an insight into their work and commitment to design.

Below is a plan sheet, which we could complete in order to begin to write the report.....

I aim to complete what I can on this sheet, before the start of my placement, so I can be organised and not be bogged down with paperwork and writing, focusing on the more interesting design development work.
