THE POETIC PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION.

I am honoured to have been asked to be featured in a permanent online exhibition called THE POETIC PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTION. My photograph 'Airplane' was selected to be included.

There's an amazing group of other photographers included so it's definitely worth a look!

Internship.

I went for an interview last week for a Graphic Design and Illustration internship, which would be working with two companies. One of these sells nail art products, and the other is like Amazon for London market sellers. It went really well, and if I can negotiate working part time at work I would love to be able to do it two days a week. To see how I work and how we get on discussing ideas, I was set a couple of tasks.

One of these was to design a nail art plate. This was the example they gave me:

I was designing for a 'Frenchie' themed nail art plate, so basically designing french manicure tips. This is what I came up with:

The final outcome

Took me forever to turn these from initial sketches to drawing them on Illustrator - I'm still quite new to the programme and I've pretty much taught myself how to use it. But I'm very happy with what I came up with.

Task 2 was to go to a London market and take a few photos with the intention of creating a postcard to advertise the website where the market sellers show their work. I went to Portobello road, on a Monday, which was perhaps not the best idea because there wasn't much there but I still have a few ideas. I've sent the first photo off:

I'm back!

It feels like forever since I last blogged! It really has been far too long, but I've had a bit of a wake up call. I've been working out of design for far too long, I've let myself get comfortable with a 9-5 office job and regular salary, which I said I'd never do. But I have and it's time to change.

So I've been working on my website a bit and even applied for some Graphic Design jobs. I really need to do some work on my portfolio so it's interview ready, just in case, so that's my project for this week.

All I've added is some photos of my baking. Not really design I know, but I like to show myself as a creative, versatile designer. Plus it may work in my favour...as a bribe ;)
