Every single place we stopped today was an experience and I learned a lot from each one. The first was swayspace, a print and digital studio. I admire people that do printmaking and print media design, it takes a lot if patience and a certain type of person to be able to do something like that, but I'm not sure is something I would pursue.
Next up was red antler which was a favorite of mine so far. Their presentation and enthusiasm was impressive and I learned a lot about the design process and how they work trough solutions. Not to mention an awesome view of the Manhattan bridge.
After lunch was carrot creative which was a different experience than the others we've seen so far. Although I feel like it is a very successful and creative atmosphere, the HR lady in charge didnt seem interested in our excitement about becoming future designers... But they had a cute puppy.
Carrot creative was very different from our next stop at the JoeyCompany where they welcomed us with open arms. It was refreshing and encouraging to have someone so excited about a group like us who are interested in the future of graphic design. Joey Company does a lot with advertising which was interesting to experience because its along the lines of something I may be interested in getting into.
Overall, it was a great day seeing even more diverse sides of design and just how many things out there come from the world of design. Again, it's a great chance to learn and get a feel for different areas I could see myself pursuing. It's helpful, it's like getting a head start in thinking and planning the future.
This trip so far has only increased my love and interest in graphic design and motivates me to be better and better. I think it lit a fire under my ass to work hard because those are the ones who make it.
Plus! We walked over the Brooklyn bridge which I was very happy I did.
