It's been a while..

..since i've last blogged, since last time I have completed a placement here
Which was really really insightful, learnt a lot of a small time (well two months) I worked on various bits from swing tags, keyrings, wobblers, 6ft event banners, flyers etc..

I also figured that uni didn't really prepare me for the world of work too well, what was the point in giving us briefs that lasted two/three months? in the real world you have to get it all done within a couple of days at the most, I mean, don't get me wrong having to work to really tight deadlines does make you produce awesome work within a small period but I thought the point of going to university was to prepare you for the real world... how wrong I was.

Positive Posters Submission

This is my submission for the 2010 Positive posters brief.

The brief is as follows;
which you can find here

"I haven’t failed; I’ve had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work 
– Benjamin Franklin

We think Mr. Franklin had a nice way of looking at things. So the 2010 competition theme is ‘A Glass Half Full’.
 For those who don’t know, this saying refers to optimism. Some people see situations with optimism (Franklin – glass half full), and some see situations with pessimism (glass half empty).

We would like you to design a positive poster in response to this theme. Judges will be looking for original concepts, lateral thinking and inspired designs. The poster will be up in Melbourne streets, so keep in mind it should also standout against the city landscape"

I'm a fairly pessimistic person so I wanted to produce something that might make me take a second and re-think my situation (or problem/whatever that may be) therefore turning a 'new leaf'.
I took the negative saying 'the grass is always greener' and turned it into a positive meaning.
If you're having a shitty day and your feeling burnt out, take a second to think then turn over a new leaf to enjoy a more positive side of life. (deep, right?)

Just a quiet evening

Not quite sure what i'm gonna do with these as of yet.
But they look pretty interesting, when i get some time at the weekend i'm gonna have more of a play around.

I've been rather busy...

.. I've recently started interning at Musto and it's been full on 9 to 5 every day of the week. Not used to the early starts and being occupied all day but i'm really enjoying it.

I realised I didn't take ANY pictures of New Designers last week. Which is a bummer would of liked to get some photos of the boxes.
Whilst we're on the topic of New Designers. it was a blast!
Lots of free Bombay Sapphire cocktails which was awesome! Took full advantage with those bad boys.
'Networked' a little got talking to the nice guys from Macworld and a Graduate from last year who was telling me about how he found graduating/finding work and such.

Time for bed, up at 6am!
