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?

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!

Manchester Design Symposium

Today, Naomi and Finch went to Manchester Design Symposium for an afternoon of talks from different designers. It was at the Town Hall which is just a magnificent building.
There were talks from Morag Myerscough, Its Nice That, Fontsmith, Adrian Shaughnessy and others, with the GF Smith Paper exhibition showing in another room. The talks were very inspirational and interesting, every talk was different, even if it wasn't a topic I have an interest in, the talks were very engaging.
Plan for the day:

Creative Milkround Day
Today I visited the Creative Milkround, I visited talks by Hallmark, Numiko and Saatchi & Saatchi. They were all really interesting, and the Numiko set some context for my surgery, which I then realised, this was the wrong kind of digital, they are mainly web...
However I did get some really useful feedback, one piece of advice, I will follow very closely, 'Generate some noise - use twitter, get your work on blogs...'
He also said I could send him work and he would give me feedback, which is kind of him. Must follow up.
