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).
