So... I managed to get a placement!! YEY!! It is at a design studio based in london called M.

They deal a lot with graphics for events, which really interested me!

First week of placement has been really good!
I have never been so nervous to do something in my life.

I got sent this in an email and it is so true of this experience for me..

I started of being very nervous to go to London of all places, to head into the working environment I want to go into, but now I am just curious of how they function and do things, and I am learning all the time.

I firstly had to grasp the trains and tubes, but now after 5 days I think Iv got a routine.

This week I have created poster adverts for the RAF, and also a small booklet. I have also been given a brief to design an animation that will be on a 63m x 4m LED backlit wall at a Xerox event. And finally for this week I have been asked to create a new template design for M's presentation boards of which they pitch to clients with.

I feel like I am learning A LOT about the way in which things work, working as a part of a team more, and also focussing on designing to pitch to clients also with your ideas.

So overall a pretty good week.. and apparently pub lunch on a friday!
