Meeting with Brass
I went to Brass today at 2 to meet with Ian. He was caught up in another meeting so I met with Andrew the other creative director instead. We went through my portfolio and spoke about sandwiches and shooting donkers.
I won :)
The exhibition happened yesterday (27th October 2011) and our work were disappointingly displayed as A3's . ( they just printed the submitted image of my hand made screen printed poster onto A3...so a photograph of a photograph of my work) and all mounted onto some mount board and popped up on the bartop at the venue.
anyways, despite that the lectures/ workshops were really good.
I met Darren from Character Creative who gave me some feedback on my postfolio which was really useful/ insightful. He also said that I could email him anytime for more feedback on any pieces of work or for any more links for studios etc.
Ian Rossin, creative director from Brass came and saw the exhibition. but I hadn't got there yet so he left a business card for me to call him to arrange a meeting. I won :)
Also, spoke to Logistiks and they mentioned possible internships as well, so I might email them soon but just to stay in touch etc.
Brass Agency
They're quite a big company and not really a graphic design studio. Brass does a lot of marketing and business research projects. etc
They tend to deal with problems by trying to understand the clients and how the audience react to things. They have strategists, researchers, channel planners , creative and account owners who all work together
"At Brass we find the ways to achieve this engagement, going beyond traditional media to embrace the entire digital and social media landscape. SEO, PPC, branded content, branded experiences, mobile, eCRM, PR - we use our breadth of experience, analytics and ROI modelling to shape a strategy which will achieve your objectives.
And exceed your expectations."
Create Inspire Leeds
So, I few weeks back Fred sent us an email about this competition to be in an exhibition at the Faversham
We were to submit our best work so far and people will vote for them. The top 6 pieces of work will get their work shown in the exhibition.
There was a little complications with the voting as apparently some people were subjected to 'mass voting '
this guy
had 675 votes from his work being up there for about 3 days
So the judges decided that the work would be chosen with merits, and the judges opinions taken into considerations
Ailsa, Polly and I were in the top 6!
The winner out of the top six will win an internship at Brass Agency and possibly an Imac

I wish blogger had an alarm
A few things I want to get done by the end of next week ( I would say this week but I think I will be overestimating myself)
- Brand myself
- business card- printed
- email at least 10 studios ( hopefully get a reply from one, if not then I will send them a real crying cat)
- come up with ideas of what to send people if they don't reply
- have blogged at least once a day on here. ( a lot of travelling photos to help me with that )
- learn something new
PPD tutorial
A catch up with John about what we did and didn't do this summer.
These are just a few things I picked up on
START PLANNING NOW
- brand yourself
- create your business card
remember that they don't have to be for life. your brand and your business card could be different the week after you've designed your first one.
Make one that says 'you' now and its always good to have your business card with you all the time.
CONTACT PEOPLE, AND IF YOU DON'T RESPOND, SEND THEM SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE THEM WANT TO.
- Any person you contact, it always helps to ask for one or two more contacts
- if you don't get an email back, think of a creative way to get them to reply? Anything that would be different- off the wall
