After accidentally email Lord Whitney a draft of the email i aimed to send about the future interview for this brief i didn't expect a in-depth response and after this amount of time had past i thought my email had just been missed, i was planning to write a personal hand render letter to them instead but today i received a response, yay :)
ISSUE - this response was sent to my junk emails due to the sender being unknown, due to this i didn't know they had responded so haven't replied even though the email was sent awhile ago, 19th of jan, in future i will need to check my junk more to stop this happening again as sending a reply this late will appear unprofessional/like as if I'm uninterested/ as if i couldn't be bothered to reply/lazy.
The response was this -
Amazingly the response was a long email helping with the issues i had discussed, they explained how i should follow my childhood ideas and loves.Going back to this age my passion was always art, drawing and designing clothes, so thinking about how even at that age i loved designing has allowed me to feel more safe with my current degree choice, even when id didn' know what i wanted to do i knew i wanted to design.
Bek explains how i should look at the work i most enjoy, this for me last year was the print money brief and the CD cover design Secret Seven, i feel i enjoyed these outcomes the most as i could produce something more abstract, less confined to rules. This can help me this year as this shows the work i like more is more art side of graphics, more creative less minimal side of design so i should try and work this into my brief outcomes from now on.
The email also suggest a documentary to watch, "Beauty is Embarrassing", after looking on-line and in the Libray at uni i currently cannot find this available to watch under £50 on amazon which i currently cannot afford. There is an official website with the documentray for £5, which i don't mind paying for but this seems a bit dodgy as it doesn't have paypal and the site ask for credit card information straight away which feels unsafe, i will discuss this site with a tutor before purchasing of this site. I'm going to continue looking for this documentary this week as i feel i need to watch this before emailing back to so i can included links to it in the response, shows i have listened to them and taken their advice on board.
BEFORE EMAILING BACK
-do more research into their work
-watch the documentary
-find out more about them/ask more questions
-find out when i can go visit them
-ask for interview
-response soon
-check junk more
-apologies for the long reply time
Overall i'm really happy with this response, Bek has been very helpful and her informal tone has made me feel more relaxed about this brief and emailing in general. This response hasn't stated a time or date or if i can interview them for this brief as this part of the email didn't send, this is as the email i sent didn't as for a email due to sending the draft instead due to this the response will ask for a interview.
