Critical Reflection - Remuneration

The last presentation to be done is about Remuneration which was done by the Suprematist project by Josh and Anders.

Looking at the quality of their presentation overall, it was really engaging, on point and best of all, it related to us designers and gave me a huge insight into working in the industry. Remuneration is basically about the compensation you get from work. They outlined the different amounts of average incomes different types of industries get per year. This includes landscape architects, interior, CAD, and architecture. It was good to see the expected income you would get if you were to decide to follow that line of industry when you finish as a student. The other main thing they touched on was the type of work you want to go on. This includes being a sole trader, a freelancer or working under an organisation. The choice of what type of worker you want to be is dependent on your personality. I couldn't agree more about this because you would either get the feeling of wanting to work alone and not under anyone, having the freedom to make your own choices, or the feeling of working under someone and carrying out orders given by them. To emphasise on these points, they presented graphs and statistics of income and the amount you get paid from.

They also explained how to fill out in invoice to get paid for the design work you carried out. This is another valuable aspect of working that I found extremely useful and interesting to me, outlining the correct procedure to get paid from the work you do. The video that they presented was very engaging and they talked through along the duration of the video to explain what's going on which helped me greatly in understanding more about remuneration.
