Project Placement - Coundon Court Girls Football Annual book (Group project)

Today is the day everyone who did not manage to organise a placement will be given one from our tutor Lisa. This is based on a form we filled out weeks prior to this day. I waited for my name to be called out and went to the front of the class to sit with Lisa and my team members. However, out of a team of 3, I was the only one that attended uni this day because they were both on holiday in a different country. The names of the other members are Ignas and Binaka. Straight away this made me feel nervous about the commitment of my group. I have not had the best of luck with groups before and I was hoping this one would be different. Maybe I was wishing for too much...

After no-one else came to the front, Lisa said I will be project manager (for the 4th time since I've started uni). Due to no-one else being there I felt uncertain and very concerned as to how much work would be produced. She then moved on to inform me that the project is to create a annual girls football book which is 'a big job'. The company it is for is Alvis and I will be working for the manager of the girls under 16s football team, Alvis Juniors. Lisa then moved on to say that my client (Eugene) will be coming in on Wednesday 7th March to meet the team. She then gave me her keys to the graphic design tutor staff room and told me to collect the book that was produced last year by the students that are now 3rd years. After I had looked through the book, Lisa decided to add another member to the team (Dovile) who was currently in the room. This made me feel a bit better about the group situation.

D&AD Submission

I decided to submit my work to the D&AD competition. Here I have attached the video presentation and support .jpegs that I sent. 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...

Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Muesum

Friday 30th September Today I went on a trip to Oxford to visit two museums. These museum's were Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers. Both of these museums had lots to offer but, I did prefer the Pitt Rivers museum beacuse it at things you could interactive with. Ashmolean is the University of Oxford's museum of art, founded in 1683. The collection is very large and has Egyption mummies to contemporary art. The museum displays all sorts of diversity throughout culture across time. During the time I was exploring the museum, I produced some observational drawings as well as taking photographs. My favourite part of the museum was the Egyptions beacuse, it was incredible to get close to these amazing historical pieces. Pitt Rivers displays archaeology and anthropology collections of the University of Oxford. The museum was founded in 1884 by 'Augustus Pitt Rivers'. He agreed to give his collection to the museum on the agreement that a lecture in anthropology was held on a regu...
