- What am I expected to do during a Industriel Experience
- Does it have anything to do with printing?
- Experience isn't a long term thing, can an Industriel Experience be long term? For example a job?
- Is it complicated?

- How do you find s studio that will take you?
- Do you need a portfolio?
- Is there anywhere that will help me get a placement?
From these frist 10 questions, its quite obvious that at the time I had no idea what an Industriel Experience was. However I can happily say that it is in fact a work placement.
We then got into our groups and chose our top 8 :
- How do you present your portfolio?
- What mistakes to people make?
- Whats the best way to connect?
- How do you make the most of it?
- How much should you charge?
- Should I go to a big company or a small company?
- Whats expected from you?
In answer to these questions, as a whole group we answered them:
- How do you present your portfolio? : The best way? This will be something you come to learn as your second year goes on. John also goes through portfolio presentation with you.
- What mistakes to people make? : The best way to find out what mistakes people have made its probably a good idea to contact graduates of graphic design or even the studio you want to get a placement at.
- Whats the best way to connect? : By contacting the studio! Its up to you to do that .
- How do you make the most of it? : Again, its up to you!
- How much should you charge? : Don't expect to be paid, this will be something that willl happen over time.
- Should I go to a big company or a small company? : At a small company you will be more recognised so a small company might be the best idea.
- Whats expected from you? : To impress.
