Designers.
I've a meeting this week with the director of a heritage-specific interpretative design agency after weeks of gentle bullying by email. I don't really have a design background-my undergrad was fine art, and (shite) postrgrad was in (supposedly) heritage-specific 3D visualisation. Not that I'm any good at it or learned very much but I did get a distinction for my research project which was a case study of an attraction this company helped design and the merits of tangible 3D exhibits over pure digital presentations. So, in the absence of a meaningful design portfolio or concrete design skills but a really good head for research, what would your advice be on how best to sell such a meagre package?
I'm pretty sure I can get up on any 2D design packages I'm not familiar with ok, but for obvious reasons I'm not particularly confident of my overall worth to them if only because I know just how shit my course was so I'm kind of bricking it. I just want some paid work experience working on projects that would let me build up skills and portfolio, and don't expect to walk into a permanent role or anything as there's clearly a lot of design-specific skills I'm currently missing.
