3 weeks on...

Well... I was at Jules B for 3 weeks and I feel like I have learned quite a lot!
On my departure I was told that the work I had done was "more than satisfactory" which I think is a good point... I did get asked if I would want to come back over the summer so they mustn't of hated me too much :/ haha!
Feel kind of like I'm ready to go off into the world of graphic design!? I might need to work on my acceptance of criticism after hours of working on something... it is stress inducing to be told to change something that may seem like a tiny thing to them, but when you've sat and created it, you know how long it will take to amend.
Anyway... I did lots and lots of work! Not sure what's allowed to go up on here because some of it hasn't been sent out or used yet... this is part of the Easter emailer I did... it will be sent out soon so here's my favourite part:

I had to develop this idea and make some ideas for the shop window too. It had to simplified a lot because Jules didn't think it was suitable as he said it looked like a fairground poster.

I'll post some more once I am sure I am allowed!!!

Just been browsing through some fashion related websites etc. for inspiration and came across these cool bags! They are from the same website as the hair hats (which are also amazing... really detailed animal shaped hair!!!)
Quite a clever design I reckon:

...so many logos!!!

There's this animation on vimeo called Logorama 
"This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short."
Hahahahah! Just finished watching it and it's brilliant! I always knew Ronald McDonald was an evil criminal... and it's hilarious to see the little Haribo guy swearing and mooning at the lion.
It's a really cleverly thought out animation EVERYTHING is a logo!!! It is strange to think that there are so many recognisable logos that we all know and we do actually see them just as frequently as in this animation. I guess that's the power of a well designed logo!

Jules B week 2

Really enjoying making the emailers :) I've been doing some pretty creative stuff that I will be putting on here the minute I get them saved and transfered!
Designing the Easter window stickers for the Jules B shop fronts!

First Week at Jules B!

Well one week down 2 to go!
I've done quite a lot this week, been in Photoshop all of the time doing lots of emailers with some expensive clothes on!!! Did the category banners today for the Jules B new look website :D
Learning new bits and bobs as I go. I'm sure I'll be a whizz in most things Photoshop by the end of work experience... and know lots of fashion labels!
