We were greeted by the team of Potion design in the studio and he stepped forward to take us into a much smaller room where we could show our work and discuss ideas. Potion Design are an interactive design group which means they design work to be displayed via projection methods whereby the audience can interact, like a touch screen mobile phone.
We first spoke about the companies work and asked a few relevant questions as to how the team works and how they collaborate. It was really insightful and one thing we learnt is that you have to be very patient with clients. Never assume that if you aren't happy with feedback as to what what areas of a job need scrapping and changing, that you can simply disagree and find another client. He said there have been many times that he's sent work to a client and has had to change things so much to an extent where the initial work was barely recognisable. So that really made me think about how to be able to drop ideas just like that. Even though you may love them and think they're the answer.
After had looked at both our portfolios, we both recieved similar reviews. One thing he was particularly interested in was the order in which our work was featured in our portfolios. He felt that we hadn't displayed some of our stronger work at the front and towards the back. He advised us to thoroughly check our layout before meeting with somebody in the future. But overall he was very impressed with our work. Said there were areas to improve but to continue getting stronger at what we're doing. We left with a small book each containing samples of Potion's work and were very happy with how the whole thing went. It was a very positive experience and one that I hope to have again.
