I have come to realise that my skills, design style, thoughts on design will constantly change depending where I work and what sort of briefs I do. I found this really exciting and I am looking forward to what is next. I have discovered the importance of attention to detail - I want to be a quality designer, I have learnt about organisation and time balancing - it is easy to take too long on the wrong thing - I want to be an efficient designer. I have learnt about the importance of the subject and a range of knowledge which can be put into practice for a number of subjects - I want to be an open minded designer. Most of all I have come to understand the importance of enjoying what you do - I want to love my job and be a designer who is passionate.Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-76196519414611901272012-05-29T02:59:00.000-07:002012-06-01T02:59:21.520-07:00Portfolio - need to add copy<div>

I am looking forward to how it will feel working for a charity - understanding that this isn't a full time thing at all but I really want to get a taste for being an in house designer.

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. </div>

<br />
These are the final files I sent to giles in our final meeting plus the invoice which went with them. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
I found this meeting really helpful in understanding the handing over of artwork and what copyright meant. <br />
<br />
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. </div>

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. <br />
<br />
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.Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-15538005903660389702012-01-23T05:41:00.000-08:002012-01-23T05:41:08.272-08:00Leftloft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They have designed this colourful image based recipe book yet, also have designed for magazines based on type and just black and white. This variation of subject and concept shows that they are driven by the subject and that they are flexible when working with a brief. <br />
I want to be like this!<br />

Leftloft are based in Milan(italy) and are actually looking for a junior designer. A little problem being the language as they expect you to speak italian and english. <br />
I can definitely be inspired by this to realise that there is an importance of flexibility in your work. <br />

I adore this variation of typography and pattern within an environment.<br />
With two main colours and a detailed focus on print the restaurant is made to be contemporary and classic. <br />
Another variation of flexibility within Leftlofts work.<br />

This publication was created by Leftloft. <br />
I have highlighted these, even though the subject is not exactly of interest to me, because I really like the way just black and white text have been used (simple, clean) with a full colour photo. <br />
I think the use of different typefaces for each section plus a different shape to go with it adds individualistic approach. <br />

They have set me some strict deadlines and Giles showed me what he is looking for. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Within my design practice I have already written a brief which consists of designing a range of posters to highlight the positive words from the bible in a way which makes sense to everyone. Rather than bombarding people with religious terminology I want to try to explain that christian values are as relevant and hopeful as ever. This brief works perfectly with Giles' expectations for the posters and so I will hopefully, if he likes them, be able to sell the 5 designs to him once they are finished in December. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I learnt from this meeting that often enough clients have already a detailed description of what they are looking for from a designer which leaves not much room for creativity in the design. What I wanted to try to do for Giles was also impart some of my knowledge of being a christian understanding that there is not much design I would put on my wall specifically about the christian faith and I felt I could do this because I am the target market. Giles seemed really open to my suggestions and I took notes on some of his as well though I explained that due to the short deadline and my 2 week holiday I would only be able to complete 5 designs with a focus on what I felt worked best which he was really happy with.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I left the meeting feeling really happy and very professional and full of ideas for the work knowing they could be bought! </div>Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-71267931847617967802011-10-12T14:47:00.000-07:002012-04-24T14:48:39.133-07:00Business OpportunityI have been in touch with a graphic designer who owns a studio called Leagus. He has been working with someone called Giles Beckley who is wanting to start up his own Christian art printing business. Cutting a long story short I was contacted to show him some ideas for art work which he could buy the copyrights to and reproduce and sell nationally. Charisma Art will be mainly web based but Giles spoke about having gallery stands at certain events. <br />
<br />
I have been asked to meet them both at Huddersfield media centre next tuesday which will be good on a professional level as this is how they will see me. The main aim of the meeting is to discover what it is Giles is looking for, the number of designs he is wanting and the deadlines I will therefore need to meet. <br />

But all in all it is progress!Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-49575154451609925402011-06-06T18:08:00.000-07:002011-06-06T18:08:12.779-07:00Where was I? Where am I now?At the start of this year I was attempting to feel comfortable within a Graphic design environment. I had started to develop new skills, a new understand of the term process and the importance of a concept. I felt like I couldn't really be placed in terms of a specific area of design or type of studio I would consider working in. This was simply because I had not yet explored it in enough detail to be aware of what and where I wanted to be. Similarly the work I had produced was always driven by a brief given by tutors and so the outcomes were limited to how I felt I could answer the brief. <br />
Since then I feel I have taken a huge step in realising the sort of aims I want as a graphic designer a more stream lined view of the work I want to produce and a better understanding of graphic design in general. <br />
In being able to chose briefs to suit my skills and passions and even to be able to write my own has really showed me that where I am able to put part of myself in a brief, whether it is through passion for the cause or excitement for the crafting, the resolution and even the process is more thorough and original than if it was something separate to where my passions lay. I guess really this goes without saying. Passion and excitement for the subject is vital in creating something visually exciting. It maybe that this year, or even simply towards the end of this year, I have become very comfortable in how I design but really I need to still keep my mind open to opportunities which may arise and where I never felt I was able to complete a brief. <br />
<br />
When I think now about publication layout I would probably shy away from the thought yet within charity based work this is an important part of the job and I will need to be in a place where I am comfortable completing all sorts of briefs in the most appropriate media. <br />
<br />
I feel i have been tested also this year in software skill with learning after effects and dreamweaver in detail and finalizing projects using them. Both of which will come in handy throughout the next few years of my life. Initially in both cases I was uncomfortable and not at ease with the software, I struggled to understand why certain things did what they did but that is what technology is about. I have noticed the importance of trial and error within this and simply testing things out is the best way to learn what they do. In both projects I feel I eventually finished with more confidence and awareness of the possibilities the software opens up within my practice. As well as this this I still understand the great importance of pen to paper and thumb-nailing, story-boarding, sketching out ideas before taking them straight to screen. This was probably more vital within the after effects brief. <br />
<br />
Surrounding and supporting my practice was critical studies which I feel played a large role in my progression this year. In considering the importance of Graphic design I was able to pin point just how important it is for me to produce work for a cause. Whether it be community, poverty, social relationships etc, I am exceedingly keen to make my work count when it comes down to it rather than simply creating something for designs sake. I don't think I would be well suited to work for a design magazine or any other design focussed position. This is not because I think it is a rubbish job, more because I am more engaged and passionate when it comes down to subjects that are outside of the design sector.Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-7636806907878944602011-06-06T16:10:00.001-07:002011-06-06T16:57:59.198-07:00second portfolio including screen work- to send to charities and other similar organisations..<div><object style="width:420px;height:148px"><param name="movie" value="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110606224549-540a30b4295047beb70ff000072704ff&docName=portfolio2&username=Jocatlow&loadingInfoText=Portfolio%202&et=1307401760376&er=99"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="menu" value="false"><embed src="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" style="width:420px;height:148px" flashvars="mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110606224549-540a30b4295047beb70ff000072704ff&docName=portfolio2&username=Jocatlow&loadingInfoText=Portfolio%202&et=1307401760376&er=99"></embed></object><div style="width:420px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://issuu.com/Jocatlow/docs/portfolio2?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true" target="_blank">Open publication</a> - Free <a href="http://issuu.com/" target="_blank">publishing</a> - <a href="http://issuu.com/search?q=portfolio" target="_blank">More portfolio</a></div></div>Jo catlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09430304105333451148noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020306088473516427.post-71022957068830929122011-06-06T14:43:00.000-07:002011-06-06T14:43:43.109-07:00Email and PDF sent to studio mikmi<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Who I would really love to work for within the design team. Although this is very different to the greetings cards and print design etc it is still something I want to pursue in an attempt to discover where I would be best placed. I was informed that the youth sect of the charity is currently undergoing a re-brand and so I am planning on emailing and asking if I can simply sit in on a meeting to see what they get up to and how they go about completely re-branding part of a charity. Of course there is a chance that this won't be possible due to confidentiality but even if I can visit their offices in London to see part of the process would really be a great opportunity. <br />
