Selected students from year 3 travelled to London on 22nd April to present to creative director of Bear, Roberto D’Andria. Based in a purpose built studio in the heart of Clerkenwell, Bear provide creative consultancy to clients such as Nike, Foxtons, Ticketmaster, 888, British Gymnastics amongst others – so this was a real opportunity for our students to experience the design industry at first hand. In simulated client presentations, Lizzie Adam, Jessie Webber, Luke Champion, Jong Seul Bae, Magdalan Lam, Katie Harfield, and Holly Russell presented a finished branding proposal in a specially built pod. After their presentations they then had the opportunity to talk more informally with designer Andy Goode and get some advice about how to approach the industry after graduation. At the end of the day, Roberto selected 3 students for a 6 week work placement later in the year.
