Over the summer I did a lot of different things at first I was
getting in as many hours as I could at my very stressful sandwich
job I decided I wanted to move on and find something I could
use in my future, So I quit my job and started asking around for
something to get me in the door of industry! Luckily my dad works
at Kolorcraft a commercial print ( I have previously done experience
in the design foundry at Kolorcraft) I asked if there was anything
available to keep me busy fortunately 2 mac operators in design had
recently quit and there was an opening for someone to do their job
although I had no experience in this whatsoever they were willing to
train me up to paginate and pdf artwork for print, Ive now been working
there since mid september I've learnt lots about setting up for print but also
how to not send work to the printers as I now see how annoying it
can be when things aren't done properly, in the next holidays I am
trying to organise some more work experience with the Design Foundry
so I can do the design work instead of set up work and hopefully if
I impress them I might be able to get a job doing design instead of
pagination this would be a great experience as they work with big clients
such as wait rose and john lewis!
I also did some freelance work for friends and family, I created a leaflet
for my boyfriends step mum's new business for Sirrocco Safety from doing
this I'm hoping I may be able to do even more than just leaflets if she
likes my designs. Possibly business cards etc. I have also been working
on a friends band logo they are currently finalists in Soundwave Competition.
Hopefully from these i will be able to get some exposure for more design
work.
