Design Advisory Notes Thursday April 6th, 2017 Atendees: Susan Rees - Image Factory, Glenn Hiramatsu – AHC Graphics Faculty and Freelancer, Anne Young – Voler, Doug Brigham– Spectrum Color, Vicki Dominguez– Old Town Shirt Factory, Ashley Evans – Five Star Graphics, Roberta Garner – Point of Action, James Jepson – Local Copies Topics: ! Internships are hard for business owners because of the time it takes away from the business and also new law that says you have to pay interns. The skill-set interns need to have takes time to learn. Some members have bachelor degrees, master’s degrees and years of work. ! Guest speakers, extern & internships, job shadowing, mentors were all discussed as ways to increase the relevance of in-class projects ! A mentorship or job shadow is a much more doable option. Shadowing would expose the student to the career. They might find an adjacent career this way. ! A tour of a local design studio and/or print shop would be good...get a bus and tour several of places in one day. ! Maybe get industry feedback through Skype ! In this business, 1/3 of time spent is figuring out the newest, latest, software and hardware. ! Certifications and degrees are not as important in this field as portfolios of work actual work that has been done by prospective candidates ! In-class hands-on project based activities are highly encouraged as these fields need people with crafting and manipulation of materials experience. ! Infusing entrepreneurial concepts into these classes will encourage students to think about paving their own path in this industry as many opportunities are part-time, temporary, or intermittent. Starting their own company, taking on work as an independent contractor, looking for project-based employment are the ways to be successful and trends they will encounter. ! Incorporating production-related concepts into classes such as math, English, and business were discussed. For instance, how is math used in design planning. ! Teach students to be curious and find out their own answers, the industry is changing too quickly to wait to be taught everything in school.
Skills Needed for ideal employee ! Employees need real world application and industry skills ! The soft skills are extremely important. ! You need to know what to do with a difficult client. ! The real world is that heads will roll if you don't meet deadline and how do you transfer that in the classroom? ! Employees need to have the ability to figure it out, they need to be resilient, able to do hard work, have ethics, show they are excited to be there. ! Learn how to turn off ego but keep confidence ! Time management skills a must ! Ability to take direction well ! Job interviewing skills needed ! Brainstorming skills needed ! Basic organization skills (Like where did my file go?) Naming conventions, following what particular business does. ! We do see that students coming in are good at working in a collective.
