Class for January 28, 2011

Unfortunately last week I was unable to attend class and missed out on a great guest speaker, Steve Miller from OneMethod.

Helen, who was nice enough, updated me on some of the things he mentioned during his presentation. Steve graduated at Ryerson University with a degree of commerce. He mentioned that marketing is a very valuable asset to have in the web design industry. He says that it's very important to understand the demographic, brand, consumer behaviour and usability flow. When it comes to an interview, 50% of it is about your work and the rest is about yourself. He says that your portfolio should always be the most brilliant piece of work you have ever created. It should be something that sells yourself to the employer.

As for OneMethod, it is a company that bases around the idea of Digital + Design = One Method. It started with only 6 employees and has grown to 20. Some of their digital work includes, web, advertisement, mobile media, social media, digital content, and motion design. Their design work includes, branding, advertisement, print, interior design, strategy, and curriculum.
