Creative Review... or not

Today we all met up at 3 o'clock to go the Creative Review drop in session that was supposed to be happening today. After going to the designated room and finding it empty we then tried the seminar room but still to no avail. We tried to get hold of the course director Jo to get some kind of idea of what was happening. We still didn't get anywhere. So instead we sat in the library. The problem is that we have come to a sort of standstill in our work. We don't know which way to go in. Which is why we wanted to speak to someone today. Hopefully we will be able to speak to Jo or Grant before the seminar on Monday.

Later we had the second guest lecture. This time it was Antonio de Luca, a really funny, interesting art director. I was so jealous of his career. He worked for Wieden and Kennedy (what a coincidence that I was talking about how amazing they are this morning) and he now lives and works in Berlin, my absolute favourite place in the world, and dream place to work in. He gave us loads of good references and he showed us loads of work from a Canadian magazine he worked on called The Walrus. It was so interesting and it used so many different medias that were used as cover pages. I think I will be looking into  The Walrus a bit further...

Most exciting of all today, we were told about the OneClub bootcamp project; a four day workshop created by the OneClub group (the most prestigious advertising award body in the US) in which students are put into groups and given a brief before working together and with mentors and creatives in the field to produce a campaign. For the first time, the OneClub bootcamp has to come to England, and where is it taking place? LCC. Wow. What an opportunity that would be. The winners of it also get guaranteed internships with agencies and might even get flown out to New York! Just taking part it in would be a great opportunity. The first thing I did when I got in the door was register for it as there are only 100 places on it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
