Throughout my two week internship here at We Love I have experienced both the highs and lows of agency life. I have felt greatly welcomed into the fold and have experienced live projects, the work required to meet various deadlines and the requirements of the clients. I also helped in the preparation and delivery of a live pitch which was very exciting and unexpected as I secretly thought I might of been shoved into the corner and expected to make tea and coffee. In fact I believe I was offered tea and coffee more than anywhere else I have worked.
I have learnt a great deal about how a successful agency works from my two weeks at We Love. I learnt how it runs both behind the scenes and how they present themselves in the professional industry. I have also learnt that great design comes not just from fulfilling the brief but from a passion that drives you to stay late and do extra Saturdays and weekends to get the work, not just to the clients requirements, but that little bit further. To have passion to make the work to the greatest standars whether it costs more or not, and that’s what We Love have in the buckets loads – that passion for design to be the best it can be, which is one of the main lessons I am going to take from this experience, and that the ‘chicken or the egg’ argument will always be a hot topic in any office environment.

a brochure produced for my uni project, had fun producing this project and really happy with the final outcome with a couple printing problems but still fun.
well only two days till this godforsaken film project is over and i will be glad to see the back of it, i have never done a film project before so this was all a new experience, before this i had never film anything apart from a few old skate videos when i was younger so this subject was alien to say the least and the fact it was a three month project didnt help. so we got our brief and it was to be based on murder an ever upbeat subject, initially i looked at shaun of the dead and there humorous take on the horror theme but soon realised it would be way to much work to produce the film i really wanted, so i 'settle' for a stop motion animation idea using one of my characters as the main character.
it was still a lot of work to do but with the pressures of filming and finding locations,actors and a decent story removed i could get to work drawing, which took less time than i had anticipated, so it came together really nicely just adding the sound tomorrow and i will be done.
here is an old experiment shot edited in photoshop to give the neon light effect to the text might try some new ones of these
went up to london the other day with my good friend sniff sniff to do a little legal painting down leak street, i have never painted before so it was a new experience, cleary i need some practise but was pretty fun all the same.
