New look updated portfolio.

Open publication - Free publishing - More graphic design

I feel that my portfolio has developed and now shows i can come up with an idea and spread across a range rather than just doing one off design such as posters etc.

It is also less stylistic in the layout and showcases the work and ideas more which i what i set out to do.

Seeking Designer for
brand / print GSOH and VGTS’s.*

Us:
"There's something missing from our studio."
You:
"I need to find a new home for my neglected creativity"
Us:
"Here's an idea. If you're a really, really, really good middle weight designer who wants to work in one of London's most friendliest, funnest and challenging design studios... read on. The usual suspects... All rounder, great with software, knows what a Pantone book is and works well under pressure - blah blah blah. Down to business... likes tea, typographic genius, has 'visual wit', beautiful work and knows the difference between a brand and an identity. A good idea of how things translate to web would also help!

Looks not important.

Email us.
*Very good typographic skills.

Again somewhere I would love to work. Perhaps might be above my weight but might be worth going for just to see what feedback I get and create a contact.

hugo and marie

Just applied for a internship in new york @ hugo & marie. really like there work it uses experimental illustration techniques and typography from freelancers. I would imagine its maybe similar is structure to Ultimate holding company in manchester.

So we shall see if i get a reply or even what feedback they give me.

Webanywhere interview.

I gave interest in to a freelance design opportunity that came through via fred.

Me and will attend the interview where we were asked to go through are portfolio which the girl who ran the design department.

Then we were asked to grade our selves within the different areas of graphic design out of ten. I didn't really understand the question and in my head i was think about publication design, interactive design design for screen etc. But what the girl ment to say was 'please can you grade your selfs out of ten on how well you can use the adobe suit ie. photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. This had me worrying a little bit because surly the women in charge could of graded us on that after going through our portfolio.


After this we were then given the task of designing a splash page for a school website. That was the brief given. No specs of page size, no information about whether the school was a primary school or a secondary school, where the school was, what colour there uniform was etc. I then realised what i was doing.

Making a pick off the shelf design that could be used within one of there packages. It made me relies that this was not the kind of design i wanted to be producing there was no rational apart from 'we need it'.
It made me ask the question do these schools really need a website? who are the websites for the parents or the children or both. The people who were running the interview didn't seem to know when i asked the question and as far as i can see it was purely a business with a design/artwork department rather than a design led business.

Theres nothing wrong with these business's but it's not the kind of business where i want to work. I believe in design and think i understand design. I got the feeling this company didn't but defiantly knew how to make money.
