Notes made from talk:
- The idea is the most important part of a project
- Independent Leeds Magazine; issues 4,5,6
- When contacting creatives make sure it ticks of these three aspect; personalise, contribute, excite
- Say how you know them and why you like them
- How can you help them - give, don't just take
- Social media platforms help with receiving work as well as interacting with other creatives (Twitter & Instagram)
- Collaboration is important - they like to work with creatives who have the same morals/goal as them but not necessarily the same style. It is important to look to collaborate with people who have something to offer you as well as having something that you can offer them.
Buttercrumble are a design studio that have a similar style to my own work as well as a passion of graphic design AND illustration. Although there was an opportunity to ask questions at the end of their talk, I felt it more appropriate to email. This would allow me to explain a little bit about myself without taking up too much of their time.
