De Montfort & Birthdays

I had my second interview yesterday at De Montfort, and for some reason I was even more nervous than I was for my first one!

In fact I was more prepared than last time - portfolio-wise. I had it ordered, labelled and even had time to tidy up my current sketchbook the day before. However I kinda had the slight problem of retreiving it from a locked mac room the following evening, - not realising ALL the art teachers had decided to go home early that night -_-

But luckly I befriended a cleaner who helped me on my quest to retreive my portfolio!


Note to self: Never leave my portfolio in the mac room.


Appart from that little hiccup everything else went smoothly and the interview itself wasn't half as scary as I'd thought it would be. The interviewer was really nice and seemed really interested in my work. In this interview they hadn't had a breif look at my work before hand so I had the chance to present my work and talk through some of the projects I'd worked on. Surprisingly he really loved my life drawings, I knew it'd be a different thing to add to a graphic design portfolio, but I didn't realise how much of a bonus it seemed to be. He told me it showed good evidence of visual communication, which I hadn't realise until then.


Later on it was my friend Andromeda's 18th, and we all went our for a meal at Ciao Bella's. We'd met during the London Art Trip last summer and it was a great chance to meet up with her and other people I'd met on the trip, eat a lot food! and have a good time.


It was a great end to a rather stressful day but on the whole I'd say my interview went rather well :)

Roll on interview 3!
