Searching, searching, searching...
Even though I have an internship guaranteed until the beginning of January, I really need to get job searching NOW! I have registered with a few job websites and recruiting agencies. Interestingly, I got a phone call from one of the recruiting agencies who were wanting to meet me in person so they can recommend me to agencies or businesses who are recruiting. I went to the recruiting agency yesterday and showed one of the consultants my portfolio so she could really get an idea about the way I work and what I'm all about. I feel like I've taken a good, firm step forward by doing that and it sounded promising by the way she spoke about future job advertising.

Stuart: a life backwards
I am currently reading a book called "Stuart: a life backwards". It's very absorbing, I do recommend! Picking out certain key points in the book, I created two minimalist book covers. Three particular interests combined; designing book covers, reading books and producing them in a creative, minimal and direct way (no frills attached).
(If you knew me at uni, I wrote my dissertation on minimalism and minimalist design).
Magazine Design; Nature
I sat down one afternoon and decided to lust after one of my main passions in design; magazine/article layout designing. The text is about newspapers and how they are dying and how people read the news online. I wrote the text last year as part of a university project. I thought, why don't I turn this piece of text into a designed article? So, I began to go down the nature route, trees and such, as this is where (news)paper originates from. Using my own photographs also, I created this piece of work which I am pretty pleased with. I very much enjoyed putting this together, whilst listening to Fleetwood Mac and drinking a cup of camomile, honey and vanilla tea.
