I have emailed Eleven to see if I can pop over and visit the studio although I am currently waiting for a response.

Ultimate Holding Company
I decided to call the Ultimate Holding Company to ask about visiting their studio and hopefully to open doors of working there in the future. I happened to speak to Jimmy Edmondeson who graduated from LCA 2 years ago so it was nice to speak to someone who had been in the same position. I followed the phone call with an email after he said it would be great if I wanted to visit and for me to email with and questions I had.
Footprints Collaboration
Laura and I had our first meeting to discuss the plans and timetable for the footprints community centre.
We decided to organise the brief into phases so that we can charge for each one and so they are kept manageable.
Phase 1: Initial Concept (signage map) / sketches
Phase 2: Visual ideas (X2)
Phase 3: Amendments / Final Versions
Timeline:
Hi ......,
Following our meeting this week I have determined a plan for the signage. This includes me working with another designer who I know will benefit the project (which won’t alter the cost), I hope this is ok. I also have a few more questions before I continue with the designs.
Do you have a specific budget for signage/website/leaflet?
If so what? This will help us determine what outcomes we can afford to be looking at.
Could you please send over the list of all activities/rooms as we discussed along with any required information to be included on the signage? Then I can get to work and hopefully meet the deadlines that are proposed.
Do you have any specific guidelines for us to follow such as colours to use/ avoid. I know that you are using purple for the staff uniforms as with the current signs. Would you like this to remain?
This is the proposed timeline for this project which is broken into 3 phases.
Phase 1: Initial Concept (signage map) / sketches - 20/02/12
Phase 2: Visual ideas (X2) - 05/03/12
Phase 3: Amendments / Final Versions - 02/04/12
Please let me know if this sounds workable with your expectations, and I’m aware that during this period I can start work on the website.
I hope that’s all ok, and look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks
Laura

Final images sent
These are the final files I sent to giles in our final meeting plus the invoice which went with them.
As well as handing over the files I signed a contract for each individual poster (except variations of colour ways) which Giles went through in detail so that I understood what I was signing.
I found this meeting really helpful in understanding the handing over of artwork and what copyright meant.
Although I no longer own the images I will continue to earn from them as Giles reproduces and sells them to wholesalers etc I will receive 10% of his incomings from them.
Collaboration
Initially this project was going to be used for my design practice but I have decided to instead show it as a platform of enterprise as my friend and I consider collaborating together on a number of projects after the course has finished.
Although, in an ideal world, we would love to initiate a studio straight away it is important to still focus on getting a placement and hopefully a job within another studio for experience and financial support before embarking on such an adventure. In the mean time we have already a number of contacts ( due to Laura's current experience and my other job) which will provide us with small brief which we can do along side other jobs. This is start the basis of what could be our studio and will also be a gradual way of telling us both if we work well together.
The brief we received was from a community centre in Bradford who are wanting a re-design of their navigational signage, website and information leaflets surrounding what the community centre provides. This can be quite a substantial brief but will require a great deal of organisation in making sure deadlines are met.
