So after I sent out a compact portfolio to my mailing list, I didnt get many replies for quite a few weeks, until they came flooding in recently. The first I heard back from was Home Creative in Blackpool who said that my portfolio had some interesting content, but if I was going to be applying for a placement, it helps if the work I am presenting is consistent and can be easily related to the work the agency does. This is the case, since I put a variety of work in, as I was hoping to demonstrate my ability to work across a wider breadth of media, which means that the best way to approach a placement would be to tailor a portfolio that is more focussed towards the work the agency/company/designer does.
They did however, offer me a visit sometime in August, since they said they are rather busy with some clients up until then.
Crim Collective got back to me, which I was really excited about since I didnt think they would get back to me [Jeffrey Bowman] emailed back and said they were only taking on graduates and those who had had some industry experience. They did, however, say that I was free to pop in and visit any time over summer.
On the other hand, Home Design, said that I can start a placement/visit on the 12th July which is one positive at least. I will be working in their advertising and promotions department.
After joining Flickr and adding the majority of my old and new illustrations up, I have started to gather quite a bit of interest, with the likes of Jack Teagle and Matthew Fieldhouse. Both Jack and Matthew were part of the Nobrow competition which Leigh and I participated in at the end of first year, they also are bespoke illustrators. Which I thought was something as a positive for my work in terms of contact and feedback on work both inside and outside of the course.
