PROGRESS- sending things out
1. present and review your mailout and any material that you have produced to send out to possible clients?
A simple PDF of my work, with briefs and concepts on each page, including a information CV area.
2. List 5 activities that you have undertaken to secure opportunities for studio visits, etc. Where is the evidence?

5. What problems have you experienced? What have you done to address them?
You have to really stand out for studios to reply to your emails. It's tough, but they can be picky, in the end if they do not like one thing, you wont hear from them.
I have double checked everything, twice.
6. List 5 things you are going to do next and what you aim to achieve from them.
I want to continue to contact other design studios, some closer to Bolton.
I want to work out html coding and make my www.sarahlroberts.co.uk.
I want to start using Twitter regularly.
I want to teach myself how to draw well using illustrator and gradients.
I want to brand myself better.
7. Results should be posted to your blog and discussed with JnJ.

Colors / Italy / T4
This makes me die a bit inside. Colors is my favourite magazine subject ever, each is different and they're always changing. Below is a job offer to work in the Colors studio in Italy for a year... the deadline was the 4th of April.
DEPRESSED.
I've send for a notebook.
I'm made a account.
Mission
Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research centre, was set up in 1994. The fruit of the Group’s cultural legacy, is based in Treviso, Italy in a complex restored and enlarged by Tadao Ando.
Fabrica is not a school, advertising agency or university. It is an applied creativity laboratory, a talent incubator, a studio of sorts in which young, modern artists come from all over the world to develop innovative projects and explore new directions in myriad avenues of communication, from design, music and film to photography, publishing and the Internet. These artist-experimenters are accompanied along their research path by leading figures in art and communication, blurring the boundaries of culture and language and transgressing the traditional borders between a diverse range of communication mediums.
Communication research at Fabrica services a wide variety of social causes and disciplines such as economics, social or environmental sciences. Fabrica’s aim is to grasp the future by giving innovative exposure to cultural or scientific projects which open a window onto tomorrow’s world.

tuesday / T4
OH NO, was my first thought.
Based on John and Jane's feedback from the group tutorials, I can formally announce that Tuesday 8th May is D-Day. You will need to be in studio 2 at 9.30 and and will not be permitted to leave until you have provided evidence of your contacts with professional designers, design studios and professional organisations/events in response to the PPD2 Module.
John and Jane will be available all day to discuss and support your initial contacts, advise you on how to follow up/chase up those who have/haven't responded ......and generally make significant progress on your own individual design strategy.
Bring along all work/information and evidence relating to this task and make sure your PPD blog is up to date.
You may wish to discuss the content of your presentation, your personal brandig etc. but you will only leave the studio when you have a plan and a list of contacts.
My second was better get busy.

placement / Andcreative / Manchester / T4
A 2 week placement at andcreative over Easter.
And group is a agency split 3 ways: Andcreative, Anddidgital and Andventures.
In the week I made 2 logos, a board for a shop window, a layout for a magazine spread and research into concepts they were working on at the time.
This experience has taught me so much more than I thought I would learn, about the industry, the software, where I want to be, what I should expect and what Graphic Design is.
