I was hoping they would be designed collaborations similar if not the same as fabrica but none of these have adverts for interns / paid work.

Most of them make really nice design!

Finding Design jobs abroad

Still wanting to apply to Fabrica... I emailed the creative director at Colors twice, still no reply... so I emailed Tim again. I wanted to know as much about how the application process worked for him so I could get a better understanding. It was nice for him to reply so quick. 

Such a good guy.

I spoke to John and he said he will email some similar schemes in different countries... fingers crossed one of them will want me. I really really dont want to be in England next year. Waiting on John's email atm.

What I want and Need ... October 2012

Updated my Website Again

I've updated my website again... 

I have put working progress on from the Séarlait and Hannah Branding and the Terrestrial Design Context book, as I have sent mail-outs and I want studios to see my most recent work. I feel I have improved dramatically over the last 6 months. I'm excited to finish of these 6 briefs.

Presentation

Going to Document.is

They have recently joined as Smith&Milton, they were previously known as Document.is.
I met three employees today and I love their work, location and most importantly they are so friendly. Hopefully a placement is lined up for summer / after and right now I feel that Bristol is the place for me.

Bought my domain name and I'm waiting to get it transfered.

Making a Mail out

Sending stuff to studios

I will finally design this!!!!!! Favourites will get something printed sent (because i have no money).

Updates my website again

After having my crit with Box-head* I wanted to make my website more concise. 

I will hopefully eventually transfer my cargo to sarahlroberts.co.uk

This will make me upgrade my Cargo account (I will have to pay), but then I can alter the CSS coding reating a better designed website that I like.

I'm actually happy with my website, for now anyways.
