Day3
Teaching as an option for students in the creative field
Ursula Byrne

I have always thought teaching as a potential career. Like many people, I am still struggling with what to do in the long-term decision. I think it is important to keep my choice, rather than trying to pigeon hole, when it comes to my future.Although I can not stay the entire conversation (for personal reasons) What I did not hear, really useful. Ursula was the ITET manager processing in Bangor and Aberystwyth University Graduate Certificate in Education Management. She began a very valid point, most people have a teacher from their education, whether it is better to not remember. Most people can identify the teaching and practice.Video Ursula want to show us sadly did not work, but she explained some of the advantages of teaching as a career, and how young people can be refreshing, different, interesting, energetic, willing to give feedback adolescents even more so. Teaching is a creative activity, and there are many personal way to teach.Ursula went explains, teacher training in the United Kingdom, here in Wales If you want to teach elementary school children the local application, Bangor, Cardiff and Swansea University Middle School is a little different, a lot of , a lot of places, but if it is outdoor activities and the arts, of course, depending on what kind of theme you want, focus on Bangor is the only institution to provide courses.Sometimes, on-the-job training is a possibility, especially if a school has a certain teaching methods. Some of the graduate program. For teaching in high school, you need a degree in the subject of your choice, this is not always the situation in primary, but you must have at least grade C in GCSE mathematics, English and scientific level. These levels increased in 2014 to a B.Past experience, most courses require you in your research of teaching experience, this is not a secondary school, but usually, it is recommended that you try and observe the lesson is taking place, it will continue to help in the interview with reporters, it does not know what is in the curriculum injury. Employment sector can help run locally or obtain the necessary Placing in school / university, because they tend to connect with local schools, they also can help in some places may need to check (CRB).Although you are not able to speak Welsh (even if you work in some cases, schools in Wales), they are in very high demand, you can do the training courses to improve their language skills, apply for jobs.
Day4
 
 Beyond the creative to the business end of things
Gary Edwards

Gary talk about his company's digital issue, where he was Managing Director. He said he is not a creative person to do, but have come to discuss the operational aspects of running the creative company. His background is in engineering, the Navy began his career as a chef, he won as an auto mechanic qualifications and read books sales of spare time how to get rich.Finally, he moved to the sales commission only wages, working Everest double glazing. He is self-employed persons 22. Eventually, he moved back to the engineering work for British Gas. He has also worked for 12 years in the financial services and mortgage advice line.To establish their own reputation, and ultimately gave birth to digital distribution. Them deal with the to digitalising magazine and other publications. One of their greatest works with the 2012 London Olympics. Gary explained that many, many companies bidding for the Olympic Games, which is an expensive and long-winded process with no guarantee of success. They approached England badminton team, and be able to create an online magazine.Enables users to vote online magazine the badminton best of times, the site's Twitter feed, as well as links from the magazine on Twitter and Facebook to share things. It also hosted the video and video profiles of each player.Gary explained that one of the company's upcoming project is to create a digital magazine readers can click on the project in a fashion magazine, buy items. He stressed that create and protect your reputation as a business importance, and the importance of researching your market.The company itself is relatively small, there is no product just pixels, can be quickly generated, they have a minimum order of 150 pounds. As many others have done this and the earlier practice during Futures week, Ghali stressed that communication is the key. Be careful what you choose projects to undertake, remember to continue to target the mobile ladder, pick up your prices, and to prove it (Do not undersell yourself!), Do not wait for the phone to ring, to keep in touch with your customers know your competition is effective advice .

In my mind I think creative our own business not just depend on lucky also need more gut to do more thing some other couldn't think.

Gareth Lawn


Gareth is Glyndwr student before, he graduated in 2008. He worked at a company called RHOS-on-Sea, Conway View creative. He started as a junior designer, and has been promoted to digital creative lead. His areas of expertise is web design, CSS and HTML.
"We have left a deep impression on view to understand our brand and different products and target audience, they put forward new ideas and we found them friendly and response teams to work together, as well as competitiveThe company is proud of in underwear every stage of the design process, through research, moodboards, concept, design, final design and printing. As a creative lead, it is Gareth oversee all sites of the visual aspects of the role they created to identify them in the briefing and customer needs.So how do you find the ideal job?The first step is to close, and say hello. Typically, the agency will create a new role graduates.In the current environment, it is important to stand out, to do different things.Aim high, do some crazy stuff. Post your CV or off the e-mail is easy to overlook.Have a good attitude is also very important. Make sure that you are an organization would want to hire people.Learn how to marketing yourself and your work.The ability to make the site, code and applications is beneficial.Institutions are expected to the graduates know everything, but at least a basic knowledge is very important. If you have other places such as Illustrator skills, or photography to ensure that you let the agency know. Have a certain gap in the market, product photography. Gareth said, since the landing of his work, he learned a lot. Hold time and duration, he was very depressed, his first day, have you thrown in the deep end, dealing with people, and the importance of talking on the phone.Efforts, hard work, enthusiasm appreciation and respect, of course, I think he was lucky enough to find his own love to do, this situation is not everyone can have. He suggested own surrounded by good design and get a Pintrest account in one place to maintain good pieces of design inspiration.Should not be regarded as personal comments and criticisms, which is part of the job, do not be defensive. The deadline is more realistic in the workplace, exaggerating your time scale for multitasking juggling a large number of employment opportunities will occur once.Most Houjialeisi completed a number of issues worth pondering.What type of work do you want to do?You want an expert in a particular field?You want to go to work?Large / small institutions? Business or art films?Very valid question, related to the design, of course, a field, I can not see myself end Personally, I hope to continue working in film and photography, some of the scale inch. Gareth conversation is insightful, I think it is very interesting to hear former Glyndwr students who do very well for themselves.Creative futures again come to an end. In all honesty, I have not really learned all things, in addition to the - Jason Devitt conversation easily my best week. It would have been really useful to hear his first year, his conversation is very, very informative. The same lesson seems to crop, although it is gratifying graduates each year there are jobs out there, some talkative seems to be quite patronize our mature students. Nevertheless, Creative Futures is a very useful tool in my eyes, of course, one of the best part.

My game is about a waitress travel and service in different countries’ restaurants, if pass first level it mean she collect enough money to go to next countries, so if the game into different level it will have different backgrounds and different waitress outfit( it will be every countries’ traditional  outfit for the waitress) so it might be very interesting. For now I make the first level it will be Holland.
