The article was awesome - very good for a graduate who doesn't know where to look, us graduates need all the help in the world. I'm commenting for the reason, i need help. I went to kingston uni, did graphic design and got a very nice portfolio out of it - it was a mix of all different sorts of things, lots of craft and a couple digital pieces. My ratio for interviews to apps is 5:100 pretty crazy. I had an interview with an agency called SomeOneinlondon.com. Cover letter blue Simon Manchipp away. I write cover letters in reflection to the actual ad - i find it really hard to write an app for a boring ad. I got called to the interview but because i was thinking about it and did a massive amount of research after i got the invite to the interview i was so nervous, it reflected badly in the interview, my mind went blank i forgot major words, stuff todo with my work etc. I need help because i just don't know where to aim, i want an agency who is into craft and abit of digital. I'm happy to give my email and chat/send my portfolio for anyone to review etc. After the SomeOne interview and failure, i just feel like its kind of broken me, i've lost the hunger. Its depressing. Hey guys.

They really inspire me.. I just want to say thank you :)! I finished art college last year.. and did an internship at JWT(India) for 3 months.. Since then I've just been doing small things on the side for people I know, nothing too serious as I really can't afford adobe's software :)! I'm just about to start doing some illustrations for a book of poems written by a friend of mine. Who knows! If its good enough I'll have something for my portfolio. :) I've read your article on design briefs, so thats where I'm going to start I guess! Thanks again. Hey Jacob, :)
