Initial Briefs.

Below are my initial briefs for third year.  I have 
spent time researching and compiling to get a 
definitive list of exactly what I want to do.

Evaluation

Who am I? Self Promotion

We were asked to design a business card (of which i've 

already done hundreds of different variations- of course), 

along with a piece of promotional material that best 

describes us as designers.

My aim is to create something that is ultimately

going to shock everyone.  It needs to obviously 

communicate me as a designer, however, this can

be clarified visually rather than me spelling it 

out for the viewer.

So, the beginnings of:

 

My first job was to try and identify exactly what

should be on my business card and promotional 

item.  As above, I justified my name being most

important within the visual heirarchy of both 

because the design should say exactly what kind 

of designer I am and solutions I produce.

My name and website are close within the heirarchy.

Emails / / Correspondence / / Beginnings & Ends

One of the first emails, testing the water. 
Getting known names behind us.
An email to local zine publishers:  Musical Mathematics 
Outlining the aims and message behind the project,
measuring potential interest.

Printers & Publishing

Veenman:

"Veenman is self-willed, a tad cheeky sometimes, but always full of passion, dedication, craftsmanship and… devotion to the customer. Our customers make us who we are. That is what makes our work so enjoyable! One moment we receive a visit from the director of a multinational company donning a three-piece grey suit; next an artist in stained jeans walks in the door. Or the other way round… It doesn’t matter. We welcome everyone and are happy to help, because our customers are who make Veenman tick."

My main aim for the future is to enjoy what i'm doing, 
which means i've got to work with people who enjoy what 
they're doing.  I think this is such an important aspect of an 
effective practice.  The way Veeman talk about their company 
speaks volumes about the way it is run and the kind of 
employees that work there.

L.E.E / / Initial Research

Initial Research to be completed before any design work 
is considered.  To be delegated between the two of us 
with discussions on who is more relevant for what role.

So today I got an email...

... a good one.  Which is always nice.

But (yet again) i've been mistaken as a parter within 'Inpress'.
I should get some kind of reward for this bigtime schmoozin'.

So,
after rectifying the problem and establishing myself as an 
independent, extremely hardworking designer - forwarding
my site and such, communication was clear.

And so it goes:
