OUGD602 Creative CV (Brief One)

For my CV, i thought I would be a bit different than to just create a nicely designed CV. I decided to create an A3 folded CV, which a really bright colour on the front with the text 'hey! you need to look at this!'. I decided to do this as I think it would make the receiver look longer at the CV, as I bet they get a lot of CVs a week and this would make mine stand out. It's a really bright colour on the outside the grab the receivers attention, however the inside is toned back to showcase my CV and a small portfolio. I thought it would be beneficial including a small glimpse of my portfolio along with my CV as it gives the receiver a better idea of what I'm capable of.

OUGD602 Email to Smiling Wolf (Brief Two)

My email to Smiling Wolf can be seen below.

Hello!

My name is Amelia Bramwell and I’m a student from Warrington currently in my third year at Leeds College of Art studying graphic design. I came across Smiling Wolf when searching for studios more local to myself when I'm not at university and instantly fell in love! I particularly enjoy iDebate, it's so beautifully designed and consistent!
I was wondering if by any change you offer internships to students? I would absolutely love to get some experience in your design studio. 
You can check out some of my previous work here:
Thank you for your time, I hope to hear back from you soon!

OUGD602 Smiling Wolf (Brief Two)

Smiling Wolf is a design agency based in Liverpool that I happened to find on Twitter. Their projects are very similar to my own style; they use bold colours and is often print-based outcomes. They often use sans serif typefaces and it is clear that they enjoy minimal, clean design - very my own style.

I am going to email Smiling Wolf and see if they offer internships or studio visits, as this is a studio that the idea of working in really appeals to me.
