End of January Review

My main objective this month was to obtain a two week internship at a design institution of some sort, but I have been struggling to find any. I have contacted most of the design businesses in Frome but most of them have been unable to have me because of insurance reasons. I'm gonna have to do some more searching and make some more calls in February and hope that I can get a placement. I sent an e-mail to Rob Taylor (who was the final guest lecturer that came to see us) asking if he could help me with finding a work placement, he said that he could not provide anything at present but he was able to swing me a day's work experience on the Xbox World 360, I'll get to hang with the art team and they'll talk to me about the art/design side of things, give you career advice and the like. I have also spoken to Catherine about freelance work, and she informed me that her father needed a book cover done for his fiction novel; The Whispering Bell. I will need to get my DSLR out and take some appropriate 7th Century anglo-saxon imagery! I've also learned that a fellow colleague of mine is working on a website for a client and has asked if I would like to get involved. I accepted his offer and we will be brainstorming some ideas for the possible outcome next week sometime. I have also done some thinking into the next module of this Professional Studies course, which requires me to write a proposal for a big project I am to start.
