Grace had previously emailed and talked to the company founder, Ava, and had organised the visit for this specific day at 3pm.
As we walked into the studio I was first amazed how professional the studio looked, so I knew this was quite an upbeat and busy design environment.
When we met Ava she was very friendly and interested to see what we had to show her. I introduced ourselves and said where we were from and what we wanted to get out of the visit, and how important feedback on our portfolios was.
And so Ava began by looking through my portfolio, and seemed pleased with the work she saw for Manchester Literature Festival and Ted Magazine. Also she asked about the process for 3 men and a Wardrobe and the idea behind the end sting for Black and Decker.
However she found it hard to comment on my animation for murder she wrote as it wasnt clear what was going on, and I have found this with other visits so I think it is time to take this piece of work out.
The feedback was also positive on Graces portfolio and so we found the visit very successful.
After we showed our portfolios Ava showed us around the studio and introduced us to her work colleagues. She also gave us advice on our CV, as she herself had viewed many CVS in her time at Barbour and said to us that spelling and also the design of the CV was very important. It needs to capture your personality so she can have an incling on who she is going to interview.
