Contact Report: LOVE

At the end of my portfolio visit with Music, I knew that it was important I visited other graphic design agencies as the feedback I had received from Anthony had been very helpful. Therefore, I asked Anthony whether he knew anyone from either LOVE or The Chase. He said he did and that I should email him with my query and he would email back their details. Here is the contact report of this:

My email in White
Anthonys reply in Yellow

Hi Anthony

Just managed to make it back home to send you an email! Thanks for taking
the time to talk to me on Friday - it was much appreciated and found it very
helpful and enlightening. I remember I said my portfolio was a 'work in
progress' and thank goodness it was as I've noticed some spelling mistakes,
I'm sure you noticed them too, I'm getting a page reprinted.

I also mentioned at the end of our meeting about visiting other agencies and
if you knew of anyone that I could email about visiting them with my
portfolio - LOVE and The Chase were two that I would like to visit if there
was anyone there you knew of that I could write to?

Thanks
Katherine

After reading this I decided to email Adam Rix at LOVE as I had been
on their website many times and thought it would be amazing if I got
the chance to visit them.

And so I emailed Adam, and 5 minutes later he replied! Here is the contact
report with Adam from LOVE. 

Hi Adam

I am a Graphic Design student from Stockport College currently in my second
year. At the moment we are trying to gain as much experience as we can by
talking to people in the graphic design industry and taking our
portfolio in to see designers for the experience and if possible even
some feedback on our work.

Last Friday I went to visit Anthony Smith at Music and I found the
experience very helpful and enlightening and he said I could try
writing to you to see if you would be able to spare 10 minutes or so to
look at my portfolio?

I have been looking at the Love Website and the MOSI Brief and Idea
was my favourite, especially the advert where people were standing in
the way while you were trying to watch the screen then the T-REX
silhouette comes and eats him up! Each Brief I read I was always intrigued
as to how it would be solved and I really enjoyed browsing your website.

Therefore I would be very grateful to have someone at LOVE look at
my work.

Thanks

Hi Katherine

That would be fine by me. When's good for you?

Adam

How about Friday sometime in the afternoon?

Katherine


Aah, sorry should have said - any day except Friday! I'm doing portfolio
surgeries at Manchester Met.

Pick a date and time next week, there's nothing pencilled in just yet.

A

How about Next Monday 27th April? It's a private study day so can do anytime in the afternoon?

Katherine

That sounds good. How about 2.30pm?

I got a "mailer demon" email back so I don't know whether my reply was sent so I'll just write it again just in case.

Thats great for 2.30, thanks!

See you then

Katherine
