Engagement with industry - Agency Forty

Agency Name: Agency Forty

Time spent at the agency: 10 Working Days

Level: Intern

My second studio agency experience which allowed me to work again to work on live briefs from the first day, completing an entire concept and design process for a web redesign for one of the U.K.'s largest insurance broker providers. Which was later refined with the team and presented to the client. Throughout the experience I received strong feedback on all of my actions, allowing me to improve myself in the way I approach a designer library for the client. I was allowed more time to myself to be able to process designs and research stages in order to provide myself with the capability to be able to do such a brief within industry.

The outcomes of which can be found on the USB as part of this submission rather than on blogs due to the nature of the briefs still being live.

Reference:

Callum O’Reilly attended Agency Forty for a two week period between 8^th – 19^th April 2019 during which time he worked alongside the team on ‘live’ briefs including web design and packaging projects.
 Callum worked well in an agency environment, interacting with the team offering good creative input which he was able to support with a considered rational.
 He was at all times punctual, professional, with a good work ethic and would be an asset to any creative agency.
