Work Placement #1 At the beginning there was word play...

This week marked my first visit to my work placement.

I am doing it at a graphic design studio on Toorak Road. It is called Studio Slash Dot.

This week I went on Wednesday but for the next six or seven weeks I will be doing it on Thursdays. From around 10-10:30am to 4pm.

I met the to designers and they seem to be great guys.
Their studio consists of an average sized room which is upstairs in an old looking house.

My first task was to laminate some of their past works. For archiving purposes. This took a while as there was quite a bit to do!

Lunch followed which saw us go to a Chinese restaurant. All I can say is WOW! It was yum as! Easily the best I have had in a very long time!!!

Once lunch was over and the laminating was finished they gave me the awesome task of actually creating a font! Using a reference of a few letters I was then to create the whole alphabet.
I drew a grid up on some paper and then proceeded to draw each letter. It was much harder then I thought it would be! I think next week I will be scanning in each letter to my lap top and then turning it into a working font.

All in all it was a fantastic first day and I honestly can't wait to head back there next week.

Oh and did I mention I met Kemstar from 1200 Techniques! He just walked in, chatted with the guys there. I had a chat to him, we chatted about his fashion label... It wasn't until AFTER he had left that I found out who he actually was though! I would love to meet his brother, DJ Peril. Maybe next week = )
