OUGD502 - Sarah Heal Talk

Studied BA (Hons) Graphic Design at LCA between 2012 - 2015.
Currently works as a theme park designer at WrenHouse Design.

Theme park designer:
- logos and branding.
- illustration.
- concept art.
- stage designs.
- graphic props.

(For attractions and experiences within theme parks, water parks, hotels, exhibitions and museums).

1. Geekin' Out:
We are all passionate about something - incorporate this into your work/be inspired by it.

2. Making it Happen:
Experience and research.
Feedback - always worth asking.
Quarry Fold Studios, Sweden (theme park) - Sarah designed signage/logos, etc.


3. The Importance of Networking:
WrenHouse Design - worked freelance remotely first as a trial/ self-calibrated J-1Visa Program.

4. Love Yourself:
Take breaks from work - not good for yourself or creative process if you do not.
Remember you do not have to be good at everything/ compare only to your future and past self.
Not keeping things just on-screen is important in any design process.
Network - ask people about themselves/ their processes.
