So my step-mother happens to have some contacts in the advertising industry who I have just talked to about possible industrial experience and just the phone call got me excited. 

Natalie is the creative services director at DLKW Lowe in London and she talked about the different things that I could get experience in, for the research week in February, for the Easter break and for the summer, doing all sorts of things in different agencies, working with different designers, who specialise in different things and work in different ways. 

She seemed to know so many interesting people, in all sorts of different areas of the design world and with just one conversation got me looking to the future and my career.
