Self Prtomotion: Dont Send me To LDN.

Another idea I had was to make a series of self promotional mailers or posters that will be based around the sentence - Don't Send Me To LDN. I have thought about what i want to do after i leave and i want to target studio that aren't based in london but mostly within the north of England.

Using imagery of my home surroundings of the yorkshire country side and synthesis it with my design practice to create something like this.

100 words

Whilst looking through ItsNiceThat.com I found they have a paid interm programme happening throughout the year, to apply you have to send a email with no more than 100 words to explain why you should be considered.

This gave me a idea:

Create a cheap publication that can be produced quickly to send out to people i would like to work for. Almost like a cv or a covering letter in simple form of '100 words'.

These words should communicate me and what I have to give.

Hopefully by sending a product, rather than a electronic mail might show a little more thought has gone into the application and is also a gift that they can keep.

Agency's, Studio & Designer's

Ive decided to put together a list of people to contact with my portfolio for feedback and possible work placements that have a focus similar to my practice.

This will make me focus down my design strategy more resulting in making me get to where i want to be/what i want to do.

I also wanted to look at studios that are based within Leeds or within commuting distance ie Manchester, Sheffield, York etc as these are the areas where i would like to work.

So here's my big long list of people some near some far away that i want to contact.
