Want to get into motion design? Apply for our next portfolio review
On Thursday 25 January, we’ll be hosting our first portfolio review of 2024 – and it’s all about getting into motion design! If you’re a UK-based creative who is studying, recently graduated, or are within the first year of your career, this is a great opportunity to meet experts and get feedback.
Applying for roles in motion design or considering it? Our next portfolio review is for you!
From animators all the way to creative leads, our reviewers have a wide scope of knowledge about the industry. They’ll look over your showreels and portfolios, offer expert feedback and help you in your journey into the world of motion design.
Whether you’re a student, a fresh grad, or are in the first year of your career, this is a chance to get some invaluable advice from industry professionals and connect with fellow emerging creatives. So if you’re curious about what it takes to bring a brand to life, our reviewers will be on hand to share their tips and wisdom.
How will it work?
The session will take place over Zoom on Thursday 25 January, from 17:00 to 20:00 GMT. There are only a limited number of places available, so make sure you sign up to register your interest.
The event itself is fast-paced: in breakout rooms of three emerging creatives and one reviewer, you will get the opportunity to show and discuss work, as well as get advice and feedback. This will then rotate, so you’ll get to meet several reviewers throughout the evening.
Please also note that the session is open to those looking to work in motion design, with no more than one year of experience. You will be required to have something to show (e.g. one to two projects or pieces of work that capture what you do) – but don’t worry if this isn’t a polished portfolio.
