Network: Network Map

Here's my network to gain work experience in my pathway, Interactive Media.

As I am currently unsure as to the area I want to focus my career, I've split up the network into various subsections.
For example, as I come from Derby and that's very close to Nottingham, I'm using both cities as my network as it's easy to commute between the two. Within each city, I've split it down further into two sections "Web Design Companies" and "Promotions and Branding Companies". By doing this, it gives me a clear view of different companies that are available within the two areas of the media I'm most interested in.

I've also included the names and a screenshot of the website for each individual company to show a mini preview and to create it more visually apealing.

On the other side, I've included various environmental factors that contribute to my network. These include my Employers, various Organisations, Peers, Friends & Family and Academics. Each catagory is split down further into more specific atributes. Various nodes on the map link together and create a more circular link as there as many over lapping factors to consider.

By creating this Network Map, I can now see where I feel I can progress to find out more about getting work experience placements. Each node at its most extreme (last in the chain) is a starting point for me to research a place for work experience.
