ITV Graduate Scheme

I was invited to take the next stage assessment, and this was even harder. I cannot disclose the content, but the gist of it was, a paragraph on a totally unrelated topic, for example, CMW's also known as Cosmic Microwaves, which took a while for me to pick up what the passage was actually getting at due to a number of unfamiliar terms. Then there is a statement you have to decide whether its true, false or not possible to tell.
A lot harder than it sounds. I found myself clock watching in the last 30 seconds which resulted in me missing question 30. Hopefully, this won't have impacted my results too much.

ITV Graduate Scheme

I got through the Application stage and was invited to take an assessment to see if my values match ITV's - what a hard task! For most questions, there was one answer I definitely wouldn't pick, and the other two were very close!

New Brief

This came through to me the other day, I would love to get involved with it. I am fed up of all the negativity with Scunthorpe as of late, every time I read the Scunthorpe paper online there is crime, crime, and a bit more crime. Yes it isn't at its best at the minute with the high unemployment levels and the high crime levels. But there are some positives (I think) which is why I would like to be involved... There are lots of people from the area who go on to become successful... Sheridan Smith from Gavin and Stacey lives in the area and I have seen her a few times in Tesco. These kinds of successes should be celebrated and thrust into the spotlight to inspire others - particularly young people.



I will be working on this after hand in...

End Of Year Show Proposal

After speaking to Fred about my initial proposal, it is now much clearer what I want for my end of year show. He pointed out that I was wanting to do some high quality prints but why? And I couldn't answer. Why was I trying to move my 72 dpi work into a printed format?

This is the proposal I have handed in:

 

Business Cards Ordered

Changed the design... AGAIN. I decided I wanted to say more about myself and my personality than my work, my work should speak for itself.

I have 4 different fronts, to give people the chance to pick which one they want, the front simply says Hi. this is so it speaks to the person, and the bright colours are to catch their eye.

Motion Graphics Job Posting

This could be a good opportunity for me to apply for - the only thing that concerns me is the location. But it is good to see what the requirements are.

ITV Graduate Scheme

I have just applied for the ITV Graduate Scheme, I really hope to get on to this, as when I am no longer a student, I am no longer able to do any more work experience for ITV unless it is work shadowing. Fingers crossed...

Live Brief: Soccer Aid

My final leaflets:

Crazy Day

Today has been that crazy I still haven't left my bedroom-

This morning I created my video with a few extras in After Effects for the Creative Pioneers Challenge - I won't be posting that on here! Might put up some stills from the video as this is about me competing for an internship. I first heard about it when working at ITV - I designed and coded an e-shot for it! (Coding has to be the most confusing thing ever!!! Not for my brain.)

Then logged into my emails while rendering - 6 from ITV about Soccer Aid, replied to all 6, then replies to them were coming through. So working on Soccer Aid today - my reward: Going to Old Trafford!!! Winner.

Got to make amendments to the campaign regarding wording! Off I go...

Live Brief: Soccer Aid

I have been asked to help out with Soccer Aid!

Today we had a meeting about the initiatives running up to Soccer Aid e.g. how can ITV really show that this is a worthwhile cause and get involved themselves?

My First Week at ITV

First Day at ITV

Wow just had my first day on work experience!

I was met by Jodie and Clayton in reception who took me to the canteen for a coffee - unlimited Costa Coffee with syrups, and its FREE. Saw Rodney Blackstock from Emmerdale too! Then I went back to the Corporate Responsibility office where I was shown to my desk, my phone and my own ITV email. Clayton and Jodie seem really nice and I look forward to working with them throughout the rest of the week, its a shame I'm only here until Friday I feel at home already!

My first job was long, but I enjoy tidying so once I put my music on I got on with it. It was basically doing an inventory and tidying the stock cupboard, there was about 300 hoodies, and mugs, notebooks, bags etc. as they were showing me everything in there, they were rapidly throwing goodies into a bag for me to take away!

At lunch I saw more Emmerdale people, spoke to Charley Webb without even realising, even when I did I didn't make anything of it - professionalism is important in a place like this.

They were impressed with how organised it was, everything was in size and colour order, all boxes labelled, every section on the shelf labelled... And I was extremely tired! Completely wiped off my feet, was asleep for 9 - so much for doing uni work when I got in!
