How do I get started in the design industry?
I would love some advice for how to get started in the design industry. I am an illustrator in my second year at university and taking a year out/sandwich year to gain some industry experience. I would love to hear your recommendations on where I can search for things such as: character design/ illustration internships, how to get work at studios and where to look for opportunities relevant to illustration and design. Thank you!
