Progression: Networking: 'A Love Supreme'


Graphic Design Assignment: 

As part of my induction I was tasked with a mock brief, as to test my skills thus giving my employer somewhat of an understanding of my capabilities. 'A Love Supreme' is affiliated with 'Merch Bitch', a company which designs merchandise and clothing for 'A Love Supreme', as well as  I have been tasked with designing merchandise for the 'A Love Supreme'. 

                             Teenage Fan Club Merchandise Assignment:

I was initially tasked with designing concept pieces for the band, 'Teenage Fanclub'. I had no prior knowledge of this band prior to my assignment - so researched in to the band to better inform my creative process going forward. I figured that the best way to understand the band's current output would be to source an existing digital profile of the band. I looked them up on 'Discogs': 'Discogs' is a website and online database of music - including commercial releases, the site was originally created with a goal of becoming the largest online database of music. 'Discogs' is owned by 'Zink Media, Inc'. 'Discogs' includes archives of releases in all genres spanning many formats. 'Discogs' contains over 14.2 million releases, by over 7.6 million artists, across over 1.3 million labels. With this in mind I figured this would be a useful platform with reliable sources of information.

With this I had access to several platforms that Teenage Fan Club utilise. Sites such as BandCamp, Facebook, Wikipedia, Twitter, and Instagram. Social media platforms are useful in gauging the current output of the band. 

I visited the official Teenage Fan Club website.

Introduction: In this post I will research career opportunities and explain my findings. I hope to have found new, valuable information that I can use going forward to inform my career choices once I have completed my education.  Initial Mind Map: Prior to completing research I completed a mind map about my preformed ideas about employment. I feel like this will give me a good foundation going forward. Why is it beneficial to research potential career opportunities? As a student, it is beneficial to research career paths that are available in preparation for once one has completed their education. Researching careers that one is interested in helps formulate ideas in regards to higher education - as certain roles require specific qualifications.
