Mad busy!

So we got through Jan—not that getting through Jan was particularly difficult (aside from being after Xmas)—merely there was much talk in the media surrounding the global downturn, Greece and its monetary crisis, and the never thawing possibility of a double dip reception. Does it ever end? Despite the groans and grumbles in the press and on the news, I’m pleased to say that the sectors that I specialise in keep on kicking ass! 

Feb has been uber busy. Key areas I am focusing on are: 
• Supporting my clients by setting up in-house retouching studios (increasing image output by 50%) 
• Assisting with the development, brand guidelines and consistency of key clients graphic output 
• Building a network for professional who specialise in graphic design for luxury brands 
• Assisting with a rapidly increasing amount of experiential marketing agencies pitch wins 

In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m extremely proud, not to mention privileged, to be involved with such great projects. Matching genuine talents’ career goals, while addressing my client’s personnel needs is the biggest reward I could ask for. 

If you are interested in finding out more about my brand new networking group for luxury brand designers, art workers, e-commerce designers and retouchers, then feel free to stop by at my new group

2012 already…

Happy New Year and Happy 2012 Everyone!

 
Still sulking about all the extra money you’ve spent over the festive period?  Try not to worry too much about being in the red. We’ve got lots in store at Creative for 2012 and we may even have something for you!

Firstly, I wanted to give you a quick update on what the team’s been up to.

We have been busy beavering away on our new website: www.creativerecruitment.co.uk make sure you stop by and catch up on some of the most exciting creative and production based roles within the UK. Your next venture could be right around the corner.

We are also updating all of our social media output streams which means more tweeting, google+ing and facebooking like mad (feel free to follow me on any of my online profiles).

Lastly, the team is growing at quite a pace.  We have taken on more digital consultants and are rapidly running out of desk space. Loving the buzz in the office though!

So, as you can see, January has turned out to be a busy month. We’ve got some amazing freelance bookings available and quite a bit of motion graphics work. Stay tuned for more details and briefs in the coming weeks.

Watch this space to hear more about the world of integrated design, advertising and my usual updates about my thoughts and the inspiration around me.

Job advert

I saw this job advert for a designer with 'mad skills' and thought it was quite interesting - well, better than the normal careers page on most sites. Leave a comment if you have seen others that catch your eye.

Who said the old school job advert was dead?

Busy old week

This week has been a busy one for me. I have been darting round the Shoreditch area like mad in a mix of client meetings, shopping trips, lunches and the odd pint here and there. I took some snaps on along the way.

Early in the week I saw this and had to snap it. It's not really a master piece but I thought it was quite funny. The old Vinnie Jones / Gazza pic was a blast back in the day.

The other day I took a wonder in a random shop while I was coming back from a client meeting. Give this VM person a rise!

I did a bit of shopping about for some new clothes. I bagged myself some dirty denims by Jeff Banks and some vintage chinos.

On Friday I nipped into Atlantis to pick up some material I needed for a small branding project I am working on. They didn't have what I needed even though it was advertised on their website. I wasn't happy grrr.

Blanka

Love this image of Blanka.

Blanka is one of the original eight characters featured in the first version of Street Fighter II. He has green skin and long orange hair, resembling a monster more than a human.
