A few weeks ago I made a post with some questions regarding a project I have to do at uni. Well I had a good response, I hoped for a few more from people I don’t know or who are non-christian, but all the same it has been interesting reading your comments. I [...]
I just came across a student designer in a Magazine I read called Computer Arts. His name is Tom Judd and he has a project under go called “Once-A-Week”. Basically every week he produces a sketch book page and then publishes it on his website and makes it available to buy on ebay. [...]
I read this blog from Natalie Jost regularly. She is a web-designer and a Christian and I find her writings very interesting and often inspirational. Take a look at this recent post of hers.
Overall I throughly enjoyed my placement. It has confirmed to me that I am in the right industry and that I am going to be doing something that I enjoy. Particularly pleasing was that Dinesh seemed to genuinly appreciate the work I had done over the two weeks, and that one of my [...]
Well the last two days of placement were really quite enjoyable. Day 8 was spent adding text into Brochures already designed and generating some logo identities for a horse trainer. Now this doesn’t sound very interesting or enjoyable but working in InDesign was quite good, as I wasn’t really designing my own stuff [...]
Ok, so no post about placement today as I didn’t have a lot of time tonight. Instead you will get a double post tomorrow followed by a big review of placement on the friday.

The last day of the first week.
That was quite a satisfying sentence to write. Don’t get me wrong I’m not counting it down because I hate it, more because I can’t be doing this getting up early malarky and want a holiday. On the whole though I am enjoying it. Spent the [...]
So yesterday I didn’t do a post as I was busy in the evening. We went to the pub and watched the footy since Dave is an Arsenal fan and wanted to watch it. As a result today I will cover yesterday as well as today.
So yesterday was ok. A bit boring, [...]
So the second day of placement went well as well. I got set another project to run some ideas up for. Its for a Landscape Garden Design company, its a bit of a challenge particularly as they have not sent any information about the company. I have done a few ideas but [...]
So today was my first day of my two week placement at Montpellier Creative. It started with a rediculously early start, I mean 7.30am!?!? what’s that about?? We arrived on time and spent the morning waiting for us to be told what to do. Eventually we were set a brief, which we [...]
