During my last visit in Poland I have attend event in Polish Wroclaw Theatre. It was talk with famous polish artist Zbigniew Libera
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Libera).
Talk was followed by exhibition of his work in BWA gallery. It was very interesting as he was giving ideas from his point of view about art in Poland, relation between artist and galleries and as an artist, which sell his work mostly abroad , he talked a lot about differences between art and position of the artist in Poland and how does it look in different places on the world. He was trying to find the cultural differences and how there affect way of looking at the art. He was also talking about many difficulties of exhibiting in Poland as his art is very critical and controversial. It is another sample of polish artist, which actually make decision of creating abroad. It gave me more ideas about direction and difficulties, which I will have to go through with my gallery.
It is also time when market for art change and takes a new shape.

Work Expierence...

I am still waiting for reply from galleries. I think I took my CV and motivation letter to almost every gallery in Bath. Now I just hope there will need someone soon or would be happy to just show me how galleries work for my own benefit. There were few places which were enthusiastic about me doing my work experience with them but at the end I am still waiting for final answear.

I am specially hoping for work placment in: Bo Lee galerie, Quest Gallerie and Hawkins Fine Art Gallerie.

While working on this project I have taken many photos of interiors, exterior and products for designing reasons. This expierence may benefit in the future photos taking.

I have suggested to my client to make different leaflets to different clients categories. For example offices and shop workers will look more for deliveries and take- away options than clients catching the train. I have creeated serie of brochures, posters and loyalty cards with special offers for this business. There was good comunnication between me and my client as in the same time I work for him on regular basis. At the end everone was satisfied what give me hope that the job was done properly.

I have finish leaflet for 'tea time cafe'. My client was satisfied, hopefully it will help me in the future with designs for my own business.

Together with Lewis we are doing work for ‘Forbidden Planet Theatre’, which require brochure for they, plays in the Bath Egg Theatre, also they would like us to design tickets in the form of boarding pass. We attended to the meeting with client, which explained to us what his expectations are and promised to send some of the content for brochure. We have looked at their website which gave us a clue what they are all about. We have an idea of doing the brochure in the early since-fiction style, with Graphics being inspired by those kinds of movies and moon landing. I have almost finished boarding pass and worked on some graphics for brochure. 

Another Job is for college and that’s form of brochure/college prospectus with information’s about some of the courses. We thought that there would be more photography work involved but college owns library of images done by students. So they are looking really more for brochure design, which includes layouts and choice of font, which works with college identity.

First project give us more freedom and is more creative when another one is more formal. Both will be good to have in our portfolio.

Since I have set up my blog I was very busy with few photography and designing jobs.

First one was to design menu for café. It was very easy and did not included many designing skills as they have been looking for simple menu but in the same time menu which style fit into the café. It was unpaid work but has achieved client satisfaction.

Then I was asked to re-design menu for Opium bar. I have complete designing work but then some more changes have been made in content of menu and I have decided that I don’t have time to start with everything again and complete work which I have done and this work can go to my portfolio anyway.

I have been taking some photographs of the Pantry-grocery shop to be used in advertisement section in Bath Life.

I have done photography work for the place where I work which included product, interior/exterior photography, There were also few things to design, like: loyalty card, business card and brochures used for advertisement. Some of the images have been used on the business website and websites that contains advertisements for different businesses. All this work will give me experience with advertisement in my future business.
