E-Mail Feedback

After e-mailing the companies, 8 in all,
I got 3 responses,
from Smiling Wolf, Liquid Studios and Stuart Baker from Teabag Studios.

All the agencies more or less said the same thing;
They said they where impressed with the portfolio work I sent out to them,
mentions they like the layout, style and simplicity of my work.

Currently I still e-mail Stuart Baker,
and have kept in touch about design and about my work etc,
so hoping something could come out of this.

Liquid Studios,
Have offered me a placement for this upcoming summer,
not clarified date and how long for,
that will be given to me as soon as they know.

Smiling Wolf,
I have also be offered a placement at Smiling Wolf, in Liverpool.
They offered me a day there during the easter holidays but I wasn't able to attend,
so instead they said they will see me in the summer, and will let me know dates as soon as possible.

So it is all looking good so far,
but I will be e-mailing more companies after the major project to get feedback and anything else possible.


E-Mailing Agencies

We where given a deadline to get a written e-mail prepared to send of to agencies with a brief description of what we wanted and a electronic portfolio which we had to put together.

I e-mailed to:

- Smiling Wolf, Liverpool
- Liquid Studios, Liverpool
- Teabag Design, Leeds
& a few free lance designers.
I will be continuing to e-mail through out the summer, with more work to show them.

The e-mail I sent out goes as follows;

Hey [Name of Company],

I am a Graphic Design student from Liverpool, currently in my second year of a (BA Hons) Graphic Design course attending Leeds College of Art,

I enjoy browsing through the work you and your companies work produce,
its the type of work that catches my eye, and I get inspiration from it.

We have been advised to get ourselves out there, and send our favorite design companies examples of our work.

Attached is a PDF of a electronic portfolio I have put together.
If you could spare a few minutes of your time to have a look at my work, and give me any possible feedback,
I would be very grateful.

Thank You

Andrew Makin
