At the beginning of the year, I wanted to collaborate with musician and artists due to my desired field being in design for music. Although I knew a few people ,I wanted to extend my network and gain more relationships. I decided to do this through contacting Leeds College of Music which is a local university with artists and bands from all genres studying music.
Contact
I decided to contact the university highlighting that I would like to collaborate with some of their students in helping build a branded identity for them, that I could use for one of my Extended Practice briefs. Below are the emails I sent to the faculty at LCM.
The staff were really helpful in allowing me to contact the students and sent out my advertisement and information to the students of LCM on their online portal.
Interest
From my advertisement, I received and influx of messages from all years from aspiring DJ's, Brass Bands, Singers, and Musicians. With this big list of connections and interest I will filter throughout the people I think I could work with and developing these ideas into briefs.
Overview
In contacting this institution I now have a list of connections and artists at my disposal to work with, Initially I thought it would be quite hard to find and collaborate with artists but through networking and sending out this initial email it has enhanced my potential clientele. I am really pleased with the outcome this has produced and now I will look forward to building these relationships and creating some interesting briefs.
