The Archive & OK200





I have been in contact with OK200 since going to see them last summer, they have been nice enough to always get back to me and help me out where I need. As well as give feedback on some of the things I send out to studio. 


Filthy media Brighton




I have been in contact with one of my favourite studio's since starting this course and they are also busy helping me out with my Archive project. They said that they are fully booked till september but I will continue to stay in contact with them and hopefully sort something out towards the end of the year.

CV & work Samples



I had more success with this mail out, even if it was just a few reply's it was much better than what I got from the other mail out. I will continue sending this out untill the rest of my final major project is done and then I will redesign it to be more up to date. 

BCN : MCN Exhibition



Mid February I had a trip planned to Manchester to visit a friend, the BCN : MCN talks were on at the same time, sadly I tried to get tickets but they sold out within 20mins so i couldnt... I did however go to the exhibition which was good but would of preferred to see the talks

YCN submission




A finished project submitted to YCN. Loved collaborating with Dan Holroyd, he is definitely one of the good ones from DFGA at our university.

Studio mail out




A studio mail out I send to a few studio's but did not get much or any reply from this sadly. I decided to attached and create a CV based mail out after the failure of this one. 

Design Museum


The Design museum was great, especially the section which was 'Best of 2012'. I didnt take many photo's in there but i took notes of some of the best work I saw and I was pleasantly surprised to see the dutch winning a lot of prizes for their clean no nonsense typographic work.

Creative Review interview





I went to an interview with Paul Pensom during Easter. His a really nice guy and I appreciated the time he gave me to go over my portfolio as I could tell his a very busy man. The interview lasted for about 20 - 25 minutes and it was mainly me talking through my portfolio and him asking me a few questions but I think its a case of him seeing how I could hold my own. 

He e-mailed me back the next week and offered me a internship on the 3rd of June to work on the July issue of Creative Review but due to working at the digital print room I couldn't take time off and it would also take away my last month at uni and final year show something I could not miss. I believe that I will hopefully get an internship later in the year as I will keep him updated with some of my final major projects as I finish them up. 


Tumblr Accounts


The First tumblr account I own is for my work but also the stuff I do out of studio. like screenprints for friends, exhibitions I go to, bit from projects at uni, photography. Basically an overflow to my website but much more casual. 


The Archive is a place where I overflow anything none graphic design mainly art based and other inflaunces, this has been set up to record some things which will be put in my Archive publication.


Website



Pages from my website. This is my professional platform, its clean nothing casual, my work and details about it.
