Contact Reports

I found contacting design agencies exciting but also disapointing as each time I checked my emails with the hope of hearing from an agency due to their busy schedules they do not always reply which was quite frustrating. I contacted 8 agencies and only recieved replys from 2 which has showed me how important it is to continuously keep in touch with the industry and to try and gain relationships with designers, asking questions and getting advice not just because of portfolio visits.

I have two visits lined up for the near future and can't wait to experience getting into an agency and gaining feedback on my Portfolio.

I am going to contact more agencies and send another follow up email to the previous agencies I have contacted in the hope that I can get some further visits over the summer. This is something I need to remain confident with and not be to disheartened when agencies do not reply as it is good experience for when I graduate and go out into the 'real' world of design.
