Communications with Well Made Studio

A speedy reply! I wasn't expecting it, but Gemma from Well Made replied about an hour after I emailed their studio which is amazing!

Emails to Studios

Hoping there are no blatant mistakes in my emails that I've missed, I proof read them about 50 times for fear that I would say something wrong or offensive.

LPW Work Experience Application

As I have a strong interest in print that I would like to develop further, I have decided to pursue some work experience in this area. As my brother lives in Leicester, has strong creative connections there and would be able to put me up for a while, I decided to ask for work experience at Leicester Print Workshop, which works across a number of traditional print processes, and has a strong creative reputation.

My brother put me into contact with Gemma Wright, who organises volunteers and placements. She sent an email listing what I should send to her.

To which I replied with this email.

I also included a simple CV, working off of my brother's example. I'm aware that it isn't remotely creative, but in this case I felt that it was a better option to use a simple format.  


  

PPPanic! To Do List

Thanks to dissertation madness, Christmas, design work (insert more excuses here) I have completely neglected this blog, and now that the dissertation has been officially handed in, I can now spend more time focussing on this module.

With 18 weeks left, I haven't got much time to develop myself and my design practice, and with that in mind, I've written a to do list to help me get started.

Create a CV to send to the Leicester Print Workshop + craft an email to accompany it.
Create a list of North West studios to contact for studio visits.
Create a list of creatives I would like to get in contact with about my future (simply asking questions about their processes, the industry etc.)
Start mind mapping ideas for personal branding
Create a linked in.
Create a mini portfolio for print and web
Update Behance with more projects.
Find more creative talks/events.
Plan my website.
