Hello folks, and apologies for my absence. The blog has been a barren wilderness for over a month now, as what I anticipated to be a relaxing start to summer rapidly became a busy introduction to working life.
So what’s been happening Dave? I hear literally two of you (hi Mum and Dad) cry out in delirious excitement. Well when I last wrote I was whining about the anti-climax of university life and the absence of new challenges on the horizon. As it turns out, I was holding the binoculars the wrong way around, and the new challenge I sought was soon staring me in the face.
And that challenge is New Designers2009! Yay, good times!
For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, New Designers is a big graduate showcase where young creative folk can go and meet big important people in suits, which is brilliant because big important people in suits sometimes give young creative folk jobs and money and stuff.
So essentially I’ve been busy preparing; designing business cards, writing a resume, assembling press packs, making work and organising things with the lovely people who invited me to tag along.
Aside from that I officially finished my degree, and came out with an overall 1st. Most importantly this means that father Booth lost his bet and now has to eat a minimum of five portions of fruit and vegetables every day for eternity. Oh yes!
Oh, and I also sold my Phobia book to the Ministry of Books which will hopefully give me enough money to survive in London for four days in July. Time will tell…
Right I think that’s covered everything, it was nice to catch up and I’ll endeavor to update more regularly from now on!
‘Til then, night all, and thank you for reading.
