Creative Choices and Ideas Tap : Future Progression & Industry Oppurtunities

I'm doing a college enrichment day, and I came across this website for people who want to widen their knowledge in the creative industries, and maybe get tips on particular areas of interest from existing practitioners.

Creative Choices has a search engine, allowing you to condense the articles into areas that you are interested in. For example, I typed in 'illustration' and articles about how to get a job in the field, and beginning to specialise came up. Background information of existing artists came up too, which I find interesting as it could help me strengthen my skills and help me progress to a good University course.

Also on this website, are job and competition opportunities which can strengthen your CV as it shows your interest in your chosen field.

Ideas Tap is a similar website with the same features of tips and insights into the creative industry. This website is more effective for getting your own work on the web and therefore gaining exposure into people who are involved, as there is an option to add a digital portfolio to your profile. This website is also good for live competitions, usually for 16-25 year olds, with several brief-style competitions for anyone to enter.

This is a useful feature as it can give a taste of real-life project deadlines and situations.
