Re-branding me

Design Strategies presentation

Mr Cover / NousVous

I found myself speaking to Jay Cover at the SPUR 
launch night in November.  We had an insightful
conversation on why we do what we do, and national 
progression led to a visit to his studio with Francesca.

Although our disciplines are far from similar, it was 
important to me to talk to him about where he is at
this point in his life and how he got to it.  

Our principles are similar and it was a positive experience
that I needed to remind me that the world is not the
studio.

Task 2

Five companies/ studios synergetic to me personally:

Graphic Thought Facility, London:

Graphic Though Facility are my idea of a perfect studio.  

Taking on a multidisciplinary practice that utilises different 

processes and mediums to inject originality and 

maintain an element of fun in their work.

I myself love to create strong visuals, utilising all kinds of 

materials and processes to come up with an original outcome.

One of my main philosophies within my practice it to maintain

interest in what i'm doing.  If i'm not interested how can I 

expect anyone else to be?

Graphic Thought Facility
23–24 Easton Street
London WC1X 0DS

Workroom, Korea (Seoul):

Perfect work.  Everything Workroom produce is 
considered alongside being visually engaging.
This multiculturalism within work is exactly what
I am looking for with regards to my dissertation.

Task 1

Re evaluating my aims:

Thinking once again about my aims for this year I
have come to realise that I have a much clearer
view of what I want to do within my practice.  

However, I have also come to realise that there is
so much I can do with my life past this course
(relating to G.D).  Scary stuff.

so, aims:

List five or more things that you know now, that you 
didn't before the Christmas break:
 - What I want to achieve this year.
 - Who I want to work with in collaborations.
 - How to speak to professionals.
 - Low level coding.
 - No matter how stressed I get, this is what I want 
    to do with my life.


Five specific things you would address differently 
than you did this summer:
 - Contact more studios.
 - Effective research into dissertation content.
 - Travel.
 - Not have a terrible, uninspriring job.
 - Understand more on type: go see some 
    debates, talks.


Five things that would be useful to address:
 - My terrible portfolio of contacts.
 - Grid systems!
 - Critical writing skills- more specifically
    dissertation writing.
 - Self branding congruency.
 - Sketch.  Visualise ideas.

Five things to address as a group:
 - Different methods of contact.
 - Different levels of contact in relation to
    the level of the person / company you
    are trying to contact.
 - Worries and thoughts with regards to 
    post uni life.
 - 

Five things you feel haven't been looked at
in PPD in reference to professionalism:.
 - When should you stop pestering someone,
    is it too far?
 - 
 - When to hand out a business card
