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.

Contacting Andy at Agripix

I need to get some work over the summer to pay for any move to Bristol so my first point of call is with Agripix, the company I did my my work experience with. When I finished working with them last summer they did offer me a job at the time but unfortunately 'things are a lot quieter' at the company recently- no doubt due to the economic climate.

Visit to Bristol

I recently took a trip down to Bristol to get a feel for the city and find out what the housing prices and areas are like. I visited a number of estate agents and they advised me that the cheapest area to look at is probably Bedminster but I might also want to look at Hotwells, Monpellier and Gloucester Road. I discovered that the majority of the Art scene in Bristol is based around the Clifton Area and I went to have a look around. It's certainly a nice area and not to far from the center. The only problem is the house prices around here are somewhat pricey.
