LAUAN602 - Study Task 4

 For this study task I need to explain my exit strategy. I have explained this before in a previous study task, but I will be as detailed as I can in this one.#

Pre Graduation

• First things first I want to graduate from this course with the biggest possible portfolio I can. I have already finished my 603 major project, as well as the live briefs, and so I think I have enough to show. I directed and wrote this project myself, so I'm hoping some small studios or other freelance animators and artists will notice me. I have also made some networks with other students in my course, as well as a musician from another university.

• I will take part in as many live briefs as I can, and collaborate with people as much as I can. 

• I will hone my skills until I am good enough to work in the professional industry. Until then I will be taking commissions. I already have one commission that I need to work on, so I will go from there.

Post Graduation 

•  As of right now, since Covid is still very much a thing, I will be doing most of my artistic work from home and digitally. Because of this, I will be returning home for the time being, with my family and friends.

•  Over the summer, I will be building my social media presence, as well as connecting with as many people as I can. I will be taking character commissions from people in order to boost my presence online. I still need to improve greatly on my art, and I also need to increase my portfolio.

• I still have no idea what I want to work as in the end but it's looking clear to me that I'll be focusing more on illustration than animation. My best works have been illustrations.

• I will be working part time until I can finally find somewhere to work confidently. 

• I will take part in as many live briefs as I can, and collaborate with people as much as I can.
