First night we all got together and hung out in one of our hotel rooms. I feel like this broke the ice and really got us comfortable which was a really fun experience.
We're starting in Queens which is also an all new experience in itself. Although I'm sure it would save me a lot of time and sleep (but not money) to stay in the city, every experience has it's benefits and I've learned a lot.
I couldn't pin point a favorite experience so far, I think everything, even just exploring the city, is so interesting and relevant to design. I really enjoyed hearing alumni stories and how they stumbled upon their profession, it really made made me feel a little easier about the future. Sometimes it can be stressful thinking about what you want to do.
JWT was really interesting and a very professional yet creative atmosphere. I really enjoyed seeing the different work spaces and departments. Their 'brand' or 'identity' I guess, really revolves around worldwide experience and connections. They emphasized on their company not just being a small place in NY but a huge corporation spreading to many different places.
One experience that stood out to me was seeing a whiteboard in a conference room at JWT. I saw a list of keywords for the brand they were working on and other lists relevant to their project. It was interesting because I feel like professors really encourage that now and a lot of things I feel like I do now may not be relevant in the work place..... But from what I've heard from alumni they are. I guess teachers usually know what they're doing after all.
