Monday 10th April - Sunday 16th April

It is now the Easter holidays so planning and time keeping is very important. Im currently working and doing course work but I have made a timetable to help me keep on top of the work. Being on Easter holidays also means group communication is all done over social media. This can be rather annoying but, it is useful to be able to look back over the conversation for important information.

For this week, I focused on my research and development PDF for 114AAD. I started this a few weeks ago but stopped to produced all the needed deliverables at the time. Im now picking up where I left it. At the moment, I have designed my PDF as an A3 landscape presentation. I decided to look at the brief before I continued and, I realised the presentation needs to be A4 landscape. This meant I had to down size and rearrange the pages so my work would fit the brief. This was an easy issue to resolve.

Next weeks aim: Continue PDF and finish by Sunday 23rd April. I also need to start transfering my work onto a memory stick for submission.

D&AD Submission

I am very excited about this and I am hoping I win a pencil from this completion, as this will give an advantage over others when applying for jobs. To submit work, I had to write small explanation. Here is what I put: ‘Virgin Venture’ is for the adventurous. The app and website allow people to book holidays based on categories and destinations. The second feature, which differentiates this app is ‘Venture Luck’. This feature is for the risk takers. The interface of this section is inspired by the popular Tinder app, allowing people to skip, save or book pre-planned holidays. The only detail needed from the person is a date. There are also interactive posters that work identically, allowing someone to tap the screen. Each tap reveals a new destination, they can then use NFC to save the details. ...

Placement research

Over the last few weeks I have been researching job placements. It has been very hard to find 3 month placements, all of them seem to be a year long or I am not qualified for the opportunity. However, I kept on looking even with these minor set backs and I have now found some placements that I can apply for. 12 month placements DISNEY - Creative & Product Development https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/london/internships-creative-and-product-development-2018-19/391/5832619 UNIVERSAL - Graphic Design Intern http://jobs.jobvite.com/universalmusicgroup/job/ofZm6fwq Both of these 12 month placements are amazing opportunities but this is not what I am looking for. I want to either have a placement over the given time during semester 2 (March -May)or, have a summer placement. Due to this, I decided to research local design agencies in Coventry. Here are the three I liked the most. These three design agencies would help me develop professionally b...
