Live Brief opportunity

I've been approached by a friend whos' seen some of the illustrations for my Anthology Booklet and really wants me to do one in the same style of her. She said she'd be willing to pay me for my trouble so that might be something of a time killer and a quick £20 to boot.

Bristol Agencies

I've been looking at potential agencies to apply for placements with in Bristol. Here's some of the best: 

Make Collective

I've decided to move down to Bristol with Ollie, Mitash, Joel and Johnny and as part of that we are going to set up a design collective by the name of MAKE.

Here's the Manifesto:

MAKE WHO WE ARE. 

Make is a forum for critical engagement and analysis of each others design practice's and projects.

We are a collective of designers and illustrators that exhange experties and contacts to further our own individual design practice's.

Personal and professional development is key to makes success, so through constant engagement with the design industry we hope to improve the expertees of its members.

Make will exploit all possibilities for collaboration with other professionals that operate in adjacent creative industries. And hopefully have a lot of fun along the way.

Make is the sum of all of its parts. 

Live Brief opportunity

I got approached by a gentleman by the name of Matt Grimwood, owner of Lazurus Films about producing the promotional material for his short film "Toshi" which was to be shown at the Palm Springs Film festival. Unfortunately, I just won't have the time during this FMP to do it, but he has expressed an interest in working together in the future on rebranding his company. A great opportunity.

Looking at potential agencies in Gloucester for summer work

Found some potential agencies in Gloucester that I will be contacting: Lush new Media, Edge, Square One and Air.

Live Brief opportunity

My girlfriends' step brother is after some business cards and letterheads done for his carpentry business. He said he's bit strapped for cash at the minute but sometime during the summer the brief should be a goer.

Crimes of Passion Exhibition

While I was in Bristol I wanted to try and get a feel for the illustration and art scene in the area so I took the opportunity to visit the 'Crimes of Passion Exhibition', To quote the website: "50 of Bristol's best known and most successful graffiti and street artists invade the citie's oldest and grandest gallery, The Royal West of England Academy".

I discovered that the city has a rich history in illustration and a flourishing art scene. Really inspiring stuff.
