After graduation I am planning on moving back to Manchester. It is an exciting and vibrant city and I feel very inspired being there. I feel like there is a lot of opportunity there and I would still be close to Leeds and other Northern cities if opportunities arose there. I am going to live at home for the first few months/until the new year to save money, and then move out to the city centre.
I am planning on looking for a job within the creative industries to finance my illustration. I am going to look at opportunities in the museums and galleries in the city, even if it is a hospitality job, it will be valuable to be in a creative environment and around like minded people. I would also like to look for jobs maybe within publishing or printing. On top of this, I will hopefully be completing editorial briefs and trying to professionally establish the reportage side of my work.
A studio to work in would be a nice thing to have, but I don't feel like I would be able to fund that soon after graduation. The likelihood will be working from home, and to find a balance between work and home life. I would also hopefully be working a lot on location, meaning my 'studio' would not be in one fixed place, allowing me to move around freely and likely just work with what I can carry in a backpack. This will not only save on cost but also give me the flexibility to work wherever the story/ subject might be.
This is just a vague plan, and I am open to various opportunities arising wherever they may.
