Studio Visit 2.. Stocks Taylor Benson - Leicester

06/08/2012

Yesterday I went to visit Jonathan at Stocks Taylor Benson, as always I was quite nervous but once I started talking through my portfolio I felt more comfortable. Jonathan gave me a lot of constructive criticism about my projects which was really useful, it was great to see where I could improve and better my design skills. I really enjoyed the session with Jonathan and I love the studio overall, got a great vibe from it!

I asked about the possibility of a work placement and Jonathan said they're booked for this summer but there might be some possibility for the future. He also asked for an invite to the end of year show, which was great. I'm hoping to stay in touch with Jonathan and look forward to seeing him in the future.

New Blood 2012

Myself, Sarah P and Beth all decided to head down to London for New Blood. It was great to see so much brand new talent from a range of universities and courses. I didn't manage to take many photographs this year but did a collect a few business cards as well as other promotional material. Attending New Blood makes me realise how much I could improve as a designer in the next year.. Although it's daunting knowing I'll be in the final year of my degree It's also quite exciting at the same time.
