From Crayons to Pencils...

...No not that sort, but one day if we're lucky.

Well I hope you've got the time to sit down and go through this lot, a bumper series of posts this weekend, I'm quite happy to say!

Well after 5 weeks at Iris our time is up! Placements are only supposed to last 2 weeks for some reason, so we've done well and it's been great! The days have been long, but the weeks have flown by. We've worked on all sorts, from Dept. of Health, Jack Daniels, Absolut Vodka, Philips & finally the giant that is Sony Ericsson. 

After a chat with Mark, the DCD of our second house, it seems the immediate need is for seniors, and he didn't want to hold us there when we could be working off our asses somewhere else, that is actively looking to take the chance with some new talent at a Junior level. Now, I know what you're thinking, that may sound like an excuse, but we've been invited back for Freelance in a few weeks to work on a few things. 

The guys have gone out of their way to make us feel welcome, have briefs to work on and encourage great ideas - no matter what the brief is. We have possibly met some of the most approachable people in the industry so far, with a few exceptions. There were no offices or walls and the door was literally always open - well, there wasn't one...

A big thanks to everyone for putting up with us! From Neale & Leigh, Pete & Neil, Barry & Dave in the first house, to Mark, Phil & Tim, Gareth, The infamous Artworkers Dan & Damo, who kept the banter flourishing throughout our time there. 

We have had the chance to work alongside some brilliant creatives, a couple of Freelance guys Tori of WCRS fame and Nick who did some great work at Adam & Eve.

There's plenty more people, but this isn't an oscar, and we're out the door, at least for the time being. 

We've got a couple of things lined up next, new contacts and plenty of people to go see, let's see where they take us!
