Think Creative DAY1

Hey, after getting lost 3 times on the way to Irvine today, I finally arrived at the studio.

It was good I really enjoyed being there around other designers and I got a project for the North Ayrshire City Council to do which are the images posted its an A5 booklet to make underage drinkers aware of the consequences of drinking, so its aimed towards 13-17.

I wont be in again until next week its sort of a part time placement since i have my part time job too, but i'm hoping to get to go down as much as I can, and as far as I know they would be quite ok with that.

I also got to see some of Cameron's work who is the creative director of Think Creative the stuff is so good, looking forward to working more with him.

Think Creative

Hey not updated in a while thought i would keep ppl up to date who want to know, I have a placement :) in a design studio called Think Creative in Irvine so i'm quite excited and looking forward to working in the industry, as I'm a little poor right now it will only be 2 days a week but is ongoing for i'm not sure how long, it hasn't been discussed yet.

I start on Thursday and will be there on Friday, so i'll post how my first two days are after that!

I'm working on a re-design of the Brother's Grimm fairytales collectors edition of 200 stories, which will be split into 4 volumes 50 stories per book. I'm not sure whether they will be a set or separate yet although the look same style will be applied to each with small changes depending on volume.
