Design Student Work Placement
Pixelwave Web Design currently has a design student from Bangor University on work placement. He is here for 7 weeks and so far has done a relatively short first week.
So far he seems fine, punctual, interested in what I do and with lots of relevant questions to ask which is always a good sign.
Unfortunately I don’t have much actual ‘design’ work on at the moment as I’ve been busy with web development and website maintenance work. I have therefore spent a bit of time devising some tasks for him to do, none of which are needed at the moment, but they may come in useful one day and they should give him something to get his teeth into and to add to his portfolio.
It’s also quite nice to have someone else in the office from time to time for a change and it forces me to take coffee breaks now and then as well! Hopefully he will gain some useful skills from the exercise. If nothing else, he will realise that a freelance website designer actual does very little website design on a day to day basis, but does do lots of admin!
