New lens investment

For the last couple of weeks I've been researching photographic equipment. It is about time I upgrade some of my gear again.

I finally decided on the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8, the top of the range wide angle lens. I picked it up a couple of days ago and I've been playing with it. It is beautiful! Worth every penny.

First dip into Keynote

This was indeed my first dip into Keynote - the Apple Mac competitor to Microsofts' Powerpoint. I was asked to amend some slideshows for one of the companies that regularly hire me. The employee that had previously made the files had recently found another job, leaving them without anyone proficient in the software. Obviously I took up the challenge armed with my knowledge of Powerpoint. I actually found Keynote a breeze to work with. I'm not sure why I might have been expecting otherwise, Macintosh software is usually far more user friendly than PC.

With the job done and clients happy, I can now safely add Keynote to the list of software I'm comfortable with.

V Energy concepts 2012

I've recently been a part of taking concepts from stage one to artwork stage (see previous posts). This week I have been helping those in the office out by helping illustrate a powerpoint document with some custom photoshop designed diagrams. The aim is to prove to V Energy that we are indeed the team to keep working with for next year. The presentation is packed with projections and ideas for next year.

Fingers crossed!

Andrex Classic White - Let's Grow

Let's Grow is a commendable project run by Morrisons supermarket. Click the above link to find out more - I won't go into it here. The Andrex Classic White 9 roll pack includes a pack flash with the information about Let's Grow. I was asked to create artwork and visuals for a double sided A6 leaflet, using elements from the pack. The artwork was signed off by Andrex and Morrisons alike.
