Ex-VET IDM student and now full time Interactive Media Developer, Luke Deylen took students thru a journey of his career since finishing year 12. His messages were clear and not that different from what we tell our students (but I’m sure they listen more when someone “real” tells them) – importance of the design brief, understand your client and the target audience, research, communicate and evaluate…(and travel as soon as you can!)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It’s well worth visiting Top Designs, if you haven’t already done so – a good excursion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There are some pics on the Top Designs Facebook page and info at <a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum/discoverycentre/top-designs/">http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum/discoverycentre/top-designs/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Claire Bloom<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
