Working with the BBC







A few weeks ago, the BBC announced that they will be moving offices from London and Some parts of Manchester to Salford Quays. One morning, my tutor James gathered all the class round to explain that the BBC needed information packs designing to inform the staff about the details on the move. The details of the brief were simple as the requirement was to design two booklets, one to be handed out a few weeks before the move and the other to be given a few days before the change. This was a voluntary brief and was being treated as a real life piece of work. If you are successful to have your work printed, you have the opportunity to do a two-week placement at the BBC.

I myself felt this was a fantastic opportunity as getting experience, dealing with a client such as the BBC, dealing with deadlines, pitching your ideas but most importantly having a strong piece of work in your portfolio was to good to turn down. Our first pitch was earlier this week and travelling to the studios and presenting my ideas was great fun. They were eager for me to carry on the idea and shown a great interest into what they will see on the deadline (6th December). Like the Metro brief, I cannot put the work up at this moment in time but i look forward to the challenge ahead.
