Since finishing term and moving out of my flat I seem to have been all over the place - but in a good way. For the first couple of weeks I was busy working part-time, sleeping and sunning myself the rest. Last week I started the first of my two placements for this summer, at Exposure. Granted I was nervous for my first day, but it turned out to be pretty fun, and nowhere near as scary as I thought. As I settled into the swivel chair in front of a seductively shiny mac cinema display, I began to think 'yeh...I could do this for a living'. The first week was really busy; brainstorming for new brands, logo design, presentation preparation and general office banter really take it our of you! I'd been getting up at 7am and not arriving home til after 7pm - it was clear that sleep was going to be a top priority over the weekend (sadly, I didn't get much due to a trip to Leicester, a family gathering, and a irritatingly squashy hotel bed).
I am now nearing the end of my second week, and my time at The Gild. The people here have been amazingly nice, really accepting of me and my inexperienced designers brain, and very willing to help and give advice. I don't really think I can mention exactly what I have been doing - it's probably a breach of confidentiality; but I've really enjoyed working on different projects, and experiencing life in a real studio. I'm very excited to see what comes of work I have done; and the other projects that have been going around me.
Thank you to all the lovely people at The Gild!
