MONDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2008
I have just sent an email to Violette Editions. They are an Art Publishers and they published Sophie Calle:Double Game by Paul Auster. Their website only has their contact details on, so I have emailed them asking whether they are able to send me any further information on the books they have published, and also asked whether they take work placement students. If so, this is something I would definately apply for!! I will wait to hear back!

Poppy Appeal 2008
TUESDAY 21ST OCTOBER 2008 - Neil emailed this link over to us: http://www.designweek.co.uk//Articles/140089/Article.html. It is relating to the new Poppy Appeal Campaign. We thought they would stick with the Poppy Man, especially after our meeting and work placement at The Gate.
It is a really effective and emotive campaign, but I do still feel that they need something more in order to reach out to younger generations.
I am going to keep an eye on this, as when we were at The Gate for our work placement, Paul mentioned that they would be releasing new television adverts based on The Poppy Man. I would be really interested to see these.

TRIAL_GOLDUST DESIGN
TUESDAY 7TH OCTOBER 2008 - AFTERNOON - I had my trial with Briony at Goldust Design this afternoon. I think it went really well. I re-formatted some photographs ready for her to put in InDesign and then I did some illustration work, kind of similar to my postcard project I did in year 1. Except I was creating the illustrations from scratch, I was dissecting existing ones. She is going to contact me about hours. I am very aware of how much spare time I have though. Baring in mind it is my second year, which is also likely to be my final year, and I work one day a week already. I am hoping that I can do 4 hours a week for her, or maybe some freelance work and then see what happens from there.
PAL Workshop Day 2 / Job Trial
TUESDAY 7TH OCTOBER 2008 - We had the last section of our PAL training this morning. I think the sessions were really good and I definitely feel more confident about taking the sessions. I am leading a PAL group with Luke and George. I think we worked really well together in the practice session; Kit said so too and suggested we work as a team. We planned our first PAL session today so we know what we are going to be doing. We have our first PAL session on Monday morning at 10am. So we need to be here for 9.30am to prepare. The group size will be 16 so that’s not too bad.
I've got my trial with Goldust Design in 45 minutes - I'm quite nervous. I'm sure I will be fine; I just worry that I won't know how to do what she asks me to do. But I must think positively and try my best. I really like the sound of the job description - its all the sorts of things I enjoy doing - the only thing I am slightly concerned about is Clipping Paths as I haven't really used them much, but I am sure she will show me how she likes it to be done and then I can go from there.
I am concerned that what with working 1 day a week at my current job, that I will run out of time. But it would be good to do the 4 hours a week which is the minimum, and then Lewis can job share with me and do the rest, or as much as he wants to. It will be really good experience for me and will challenge me too.

First day back ...
MONDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER 2008.
We spent the first day back going over the brief for PPRD. After my experience of doing this last year, I have decided that this year, a blog is the best way for me to record everything. I can update it daily or weekly and it will become a timeline of what I have learnt over the year. I have to admit that I was feeling a little nervous and un-sure about the second year, but after today I am excited and can't wait to get started. We are getting our first brief on Thursday!
Neil and Sally spoke to me about applying for a job vacancy at the Enterprise Pavilion. It sounds really interesting and would definitely be a great experience for me. Due to work commitments that I already have, if I get the job then I will have to come to an arrangement with them to maybe do a few hours a week, or some freelance work. I can’t afford to give up my current job as I have been there a long time and it is secure and well paid, which is important for me. So, fingers crossed I will get an interview and will be able to get some work experience./span>
