Unite III & the end of life as we know it.

WE DID IT! We made the cut! We got through to Unite III and we are far to over excited. Check out what YCC had to say about the judging http://youngcreativecouncil.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/unite-iii-judging/. We booked our buses and hostels before we found out the results as we had decided if we didn't get chosen we were just going to camp outside anyway and make people look at our work but the lovely people at YCC thought we were worth a seat inside which is a much better idea. We are in London for two whole days after being daring or daft enough to book night buses there and back so hopefully we will get a chance to see lots of agencies during the days.

It is now 5 weeks till we hand in. We have too much work its scary and we are in London for one week, on placement for two weeks then have two final weeks for panic attacks and serious talks before our university life is over. Doesn't seem like two minutes ago we were just starting off at University looking up at the work of Dani Brown & Paul Mann and Chris Rush & Andy Peel and thinking I CAN'T DO THAT! Be we have survived somehow, just got to make it to graduation and we have done it.

Day one Week two

Well after one week here at Cravens in Newcastle we have learnt

*Get on the good side of the receptionist
*Leave at 5:30pm don't wait for someone to tell you to go or you will be there all night.
*Bring lots of food to snack on
*Advertising agencies have an hour and half for lunch due to an old printers law...sweeeet!

We are really enjoying our time here, last week as the creative director was away we got his office which was filled with an obscene amount of markers — every colour you could imagine - Is safe to say Jess had a field day playing with them.

This week however the Creative director is back so we have an office just down the corridor which has no markers but is a lot warmer, which we are grateful of.

Anyway the work - So far we have worked on Scottish Swimming, Rugby league - Touch Rugby and The National Trust. So its been a challenge and a change from the products we usually pick to work on but a challenge we have enjoyed.

The word on the street is we will be working on London Zoo this week so that's exciting.

Overall we love it and cant wait to be real live creative's with real jobs........Bring it on!
