I haven't really posted anything for a while due to being seriously stressy D:
Trying to finish my negotiated project and after I finish one thing, I remember something else that needs to be done... and thinking about completing work for my portfolio... and my website and stationary... and my CV... and the interview that is slowly looming :(
Haven't really had much time to think about anything...
Still need to do the post about 3 companies that I would like to work for... it should be done as soon as possible...but I need to think...

Polyvore :D
Since I love fashion and I love mood boards this is the most brilliant thing!
It is ever so distracting though...
Check out some of my mood boards so far... had a tiny bit of spare time so I made a few!!!

Portfolio Tips :)
For PPD today we were looking at advice on how to make sure your portfolio is fab!
We were told to choose 5 tips that we thought to be the most important/relevant... so here's mine:
1. Think about everything - colour, size, layout etc. of the work inside and even think about how your actual case reflects you.
2. When choosing the work to go in your portfolio be selective! You don't need a bulky portfolio if the work in there is good enough.
3. Also, view your work as if you were someone else, and imagine it in the context in which it is meant to be seen.
4. If the company you are interviewing for specialise in a certain area of graphic design, make sure you have relevant work to show.
5. When it comes to the interview you should know your portfolio inside out, so that when you talk about it it sounds natural!
So there we have it! Now all I need to do is use these points while I am developing my own portfolio!!!

Interview Times!
Had an interview for a 3 week placement at Jules B!
It was meant to be at 10am but over estimated how long it would take to get there...and arrived at half 9! :s
Anyway... sat and talked through my portfolio and discussed what processes I had used to create some of my work. It was pretty relaxed and the feedback I received was all positive! Got told the times I would be working if I got the placement... and I did get it :) In fact they have taken on 3 of us! So I'm going to get all prepared for starting on March 28th!
And in between time preparation for the BA interview needs to be done as well as a tonne of work!!!
Wish me luck! :D

Feeling all experienced!!!!
Even though I was only there for one week I feel a new motivation for graphics and I feel like I could quite happily fit into a small studio like Klaklak! I need to get experience in a larger graphic design agency so I can say that I have an informed choice when it comes to a future career. Even though I feel like I would be better suited to a smaller studio/office where everyone knows each other and they are always there to give advice/guidance on the ideas for the current project!
Sadly I can't show the work I created for Klaklak quite yet... due to disclosure etc. But I did work really hard and achieved quite a bit within the short week which flew by!
Also... news! Got an interview date for the BA Creative Practice course! So I have a LOT of work to be done before that day... need to keep calm and carry on...hah!
