Label: Interview
Due Date: Friday, September 18th by 8AM
1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
I learned that graphic designers can be very approachable and not to themselves. I figured out that when you become a graphic designer, you need to know how to communicate well and know how to process what a client wants. It can be a very difficult process from what my first interviewee had told me. If there was anything I would do different? I'm not to sure about that, so maybe giving them certain scenarios about what might happen and ask them how would then fix or achieve that goal.
2. Did I get additional resources and contacts? What is the most useful? Why?
My interviewee gave me an abundance of advice and resources to help me out on this project. He told me to always update your resources when you want inspiration for a piece you are working one; because art is always changing and growing. He recommended me to some other graphic designers that would love to get interviewed and would be another perfect fit for me to hang around with. "They are young and trendy" he said to me as I was interviewing him.
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
This interviewee is qualified to help me because he is actually a mentor for my hometown high school. He teaches computer arts and graphic design to kids that enjoy that area of work. So during the interview he was happy and very clear with his answers; like a teacher! He is also a full time graphic designer that has worked for big companies like Abercrombie, B&W, GUCCI, LACMA, and more!
