Lines Are Human

6A2, 6B2, 6D2






I went to a talk in Manchester as part of D&AD President's Lectures. The guest speaker was Rob Lowe AKA Supermundane. He is known for his geometric drawings and his playful use of colour, line and optical effects.
During the talk, he spoke about his practice, how he began and how he progressed to the point he is at now. He touched on his childhood and his influences.

OUGD602 - Health Check

OUGD602 


Health Check

After talking to Alec I feel less worried about next year as I have a loose plan in place. 

Plan A was to get an internship at Apple. Although I didn't succeed at getting this internship I did learn a lot through the process and It did force me to write a cover letter and produce a professional CV. I will write a blog post reflecting on how it went. 

Plan B is to get a short internship for around 3 - 4 months after I finish uni. I will then go travelling. and hopefully, come back to an internship. I will start looking into this now. Preferably I would like to avoid moving back into my mum's house but afford to do this without touching my savings. I would like to stay in the north for now.

Plan C is to work in Tesco until I go travelling. This isn't ideal and I would really like to avoid this as I have already worked there for 5 years. However, I will fall back on this if I really really have to. 

I will now look at agencies in the north. Preferably Manchester, but I will also look at places in Leeds and Sheffield and Glasgow as I have family there. 

I will create a long list of agencies I would like to work at and send them a proposal which will include what I can bring to the team, what I want and when.
