Electronic Portfolio, Re-Send

After sending off my electronic portfolio I recieved a few e-mails back about my work,

Information on blogs below.

But during this time I felt I produced good work in Image and was over the moon with the work Myself & Marc produced,

so I quickly made another portfolio to send out and sent it to the replies I got and asked for more opinions on my work.

Electronic Portfolio

When we e-mailed out to agencies with examples of our own work,

here is the PDF I sent out to them.

Unfortually I couldn't get the PDF, so had to make do with screenshots.

Website Ideas

I have been working on design ideas for my website,

hoping to have this up and running either before I break up for summer,

or early third year.

Here are a few home page images I have been playing about with.

I prefer the second design,

but I don't think that will be the design I go with,

I will work with this design and expand on it, try work away where I can use photography with it.

Logo

I have had my logo designed for just under a year now,

not to sure why I have never got round to putting it on here,

but here it is now.

I narrowed it down to three,

but then finally chose which one I wanted to use.

Personal Business Card & Creative C.V

Past few weeks along with my Studio Work I have been working on my Business Card & Creative C.V.

Business Card should be done within' the next few weeks,

along with my Creative C.V, but I imagine this will take abit longer.

Hoping to have them done before we break up for summer holiday.

They will be posted up here soon as they are finished.

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
