OWT creative

3 members of the design collective OWT creative; Ben Kither, Jon Hannan and Sarah Stapleton - who I have blogged about previously - gave us a presentation of their work and advice on what to expect during our final year on the course. The group are previous students of Design and Art Direction at MMU, so it was valuable to hear about their own experiences of the course and what to expect in this final push towards graduation. They were very relaxed and helpful; and gave some good advice on how to cope with workloads, approach our briefs, contact designers and produce good portfolios. They are now embarking upon their studies in a masters. I was a little disappointed that they didn't give us much of an insight into the masters course, as this is something that I wanted to know more about, and I think it was the reason Hitch had asked them to speak to us, but despite this the presentation was helpful and interesting.
