Hungry Sandwich Club
I was invited to visit the Hungry Sandwich Club for a coffee which was fun. Andy and Martin are both ex students from my course at Leeds College of Art so I thought it would be useful to hear how they have progressed since venturing out into the real world. It was inspiring to hear their stories of third year and the steps they took to get where they are now, one of the main points I wanted to bring up was if you need studio experience to even think about freelancing. Their response was to get placements and work experience as its essential to know exactly what you want to do before getting trapped into a studio or somewhere which you may not want to work. As I haven't managed to get work experience anywhere as of yet I'm going to try my hardest to achieve this in third year as this has also been advised from tutors and other professionals.
It was great to see the success of previous students and how they are managing their business, it gave me hope that venturing into the real world after university may not be so daunting after all but rewards only come to hard work and effort to get yourself out there and exposed. Below are some examples of their work:
