the bluebells are out :)

Press Release written by me and edited by Jamie and Lara.

And one About me.

Production Assistant Internship has begun.

I landed an internship down at Message Digital Design Ltd. where they create 'e-commerce systems, websites, intranets and bespoke web applications'. They concentrate on creating accessible designs so that the website that they produce can be used by the widest group possible ( which I am trying to learn how it works, but it sounds pretty awesome)

Today will be my 3rd full day and so far I have been working on promoting a website Message have created called Todobedobedo, using twitter. Todobedobedo is an online shared to-do lists and seems to be a great idea for projects that you are doing where tasks need to be shared out within a group.

Well that is all for now. or I'll be late :)

Work Opportunities

So yesterday I did a trial Runner up at Prime Focus in Soho. And although it was knackering, all of the people I met were lovely and it seemed like it would be a fab place to work. I don't know what the hiring proceedure is like for runners, whether I'll hear back soon whether its positive or negative but I am hopeful. Equally hopeful about hearing back about a possible marketing internship, which would start next week! Had an interview this morning, which seemed to me to go well ( but I can never tell). Either one of these two positions I would be chuffed to have, just have to wait an see.

Trial day as a runner on monday, at Prime Focus. Hope it goes well.

On the Hunt

Whilst on the hunt for a job, I came across the sussex internship programme, and applied for a position at a consultancy, design and production company, which workes with online and interactive media. So fingers crossed I'll be given an interview and wow them into giving me a production internship. Everything I had been learning about the company looks pretty awesome.

Signs

I have created some signs for my mum, for her Fire of London day at her school. My consolation is that this was paid work.

I got an email from James, at Sprung Studios, last week explaining that there isn't enough work at the moment, and he doesn't want to keep me hanging, so I am slightly jobless in the professional sense now. I still have cleaning and pub work but I am quite disappointed about being let go, as it were. But I am trying to stay positive and keep motivated about applying for new jobs. so keep your fingers crossed for me.

back to the drawing board

I am trying to spend concentrating on drawing , to increase the variety of work I produce, so expect to see more! and I'll attempt to only put the decent ones on my website.

Backgrounds are now all up on my website

So I have finally put all of the interesting backgrounds that I created for the Angelina Ballerina type spoof on my website. Have a snoop if you fancy... http://www.lauraannhough.com/

First Day

So being quite naughty but had to say EEEEEEEEEEEEE! First day at work today :)

FRANKIE BOYLES TRAMADOL NIGHTS

So the animation that I created some backgrounds for was aired on channel four last night. And although my art was not used fo legal reasons, it was really great to watch as Alex Jolliffe animated it. And I can now begin to upload some of the art work to my website. so if you are interested, have a look at the background section on www.lauraannhough.com
