Does it really pay to borrow the identity of another brand? I can see how it has it's benefits, but I doubt people are really that silly to confuse the brands. Perhaps all they want is a coffee and if you serve it, they'll buy it... a worthy noticing no less.

I've just had a look at your online book.

What are you pitching yourself at now? Placement? Junior? Middle-weight?

You should pitch yourself as a junior and have a book containing;

Nike
DCSF
Observer
The Mirror Ascot
Clubcard
FHM

and one of your strategies but tarted up. Pester a designer from a previous agency to make one of them pretty. Maybe BIC, it's a good bit of integration.

Times are hard and it's no easier being hired as a junior than being hired from a placement, but there is no harm in giving your book to a few headhunters whilst you sit on placement, you never know.

Lidl do a quality "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" imitation product called Butterlicious. Same type-face, package design, colours and everything.

I couldn't believe that butter wasn't "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter".

I like you're portfolio - but sorry i disagree with bic, it's pretty week and seems to be the same print idea repeated, though you have then integrated it.
PS: I think you would be chancing it if you said midweight.
