Test Your Fate: Life After Graduation

In order to develop ideas for test your fate, I've researched typical routes design graduates take after graduating, based on workshops and sessions run by Alec from Intern during PPP.

Typical Jobs:
  • Freelance 
  • Design Agency 
  • Set up studio 
  • Junior Designer 
  • Art Direction 
  • Motion Design 
  • Artworker 
  • Packaging Design 
  • Editor 
  • Content Strategist 
  • Creative Advertiser 
  • Set Design
  • Intern 
  • UX/UI design 
  • Event Production 
  • Producer 
  • Other Avenues:
    • Teaching 
    • Traveling 
    • Year out 
    • Setting up own business - clothing etc
Based on looking at typical jobs, I've used peers to gain an idea of what those graduating this year have planned. Although a few students had a strong idea of what they wanted to do after graduation a lot more where unsure due to the wide range of roles/jobs available to designers. Furthermore a lot of students wanted a complete break from education/design due to the intensity of the course and that many had been in education for so long.
