The project
Following the Client brief the students on the module had 1 week to prepare and in pairs pitch their ideas to the Client.The Client gave immediate feedback.Students developed their proposed visual artefact over 2 weeks, gave a short presentation to the Client and once again received feedbackStudents were then invited to develop this work further and give a further presentation showing their artefact to a panel. The Client and panel gave feedback and then shortlisted 4 winning projectsThese 4 groups then polished their artefacts further and presented their final work.
'The importance of responsible use of social media
and the value of developing a professional online presence'
Sue Beckingham
All students attended a Client led seminar
Aim 1:
Highlight that some employers will carry out Google searches to uncover the digital footprint
of an individual...
Raise awareness that an unprofessional online presence could mark the end of a career before it has even started....
Aim 2:
Aim 3:
Help students consider the real impact of a social media faux pas
Aim 4:
Through engaging with the project, students would develop graduate skills
"The most important thing that I learnt throughout the client project was the how
crucial it was to have a detailed plan of what must be done and when. The key
was to have perfect time management."
"In this client project I have learnt how to
show my work, confidently to a
large audience."
"I've learnt a lot from this project including how to work well in a team and
organise what we do best, as well as create assets to a professional standard under
time constraints"
"Good communication with
the client is vital"
