Book Fair
These are some images of the work that I produced for the Manchester Book fair last week.....
A good day
Yesterday I got a call from Inspire Create to say that I won half of the prize for the competition - a brand new mac and mentor from Logistik in Leeds. I am so happy as I have been saving for a new computer as mine is very old and tired! Also having a mentor from Logistik will be so valuable and an opportunity that not every student will have so I feel very lucky!!!
Jenny also mentioned that she is trying to arrange a certificate to be awarded at Digital Leeds just to get me some recognition which would obviously be fantastic.
I e-mailed the lady from Logistik straight away to thank them and she said that they would be in touch tomorrow to arrange when I should come in....
(I also e-mailed Adam from Logistik who I met at the event)
I just received this e-mail arranging my meeting with them....
Freelance work for the Hyde Park Social Club
At the start of this term I got a bar job at the Hyde Park Social Club, but off the back of this the manager Chris asked me if I would also do some design work for him. This has culminated in about one piece per week which is fantastic for both my portfolio and for my recognition as a graphic designer. The most valuable thing about this experience so far for me has been working with a client constantly and the quick turn around of each design. It has helped me get back into designing after a Summer of distractions. It's a real learning curve having a client who specifies copy and often layout and even occasionally watches me work and gives me direct feedback (as sometimes I bring my laptop in and work on the designs when it's quieter).
A7 flyer invitations to encourage the residents of Ash Grove to come to the Social Club - posted through the letterboxes of the residents

Placement success!
I just got off the phone with Georgie from Jelly and have been booked in for a two week placement over the February studio visits week and the week following. I know that it is probably risky to take a week of uni for this, but I feel like if I manage my time effectively between now and then, then I can factor it in as feel like this placement will be extremely important for my development as a designer.
