SEARCHING FOR A WORK PLACEMENT• Costcutter – super market
I emailed the head office of Costcutter asking about designing them a new logo or a new website for a college work placement project.
Outcome: they never got back to me so I tried asking the store supervisor but they needed to contact the head office also.

RAF GUARD STAFF SHEET AND CALENDAR • My dad works in the RAF in Linton on ouse so I asked him if there was any jobs I could
do for him regarding my work placement and he said that I could do a staff sheet and calendar.
Outcome: I rejected it because I decided I wanted to do a job where I didn’t know the client personally.

CAR VALETING • Met inside the local shop – lives in same village – works at the Costcutter with me
• I don’t know him very well personally
• He put an add up in the shop asking for people to ring him about having their car valeted for £40+ so I rang him and told him to come to the shop while I was working to discuss a what he wanted to do with this small business
• He said he wanted to quit the job at the shop or start doing both jobs at the same time.
• He offered to Valet my car for free to get some pictures for his portfolio
• At first I wasn’t sure about this work placement but it was getting late as we met on the 21st of May.

STAGE 1• I took my car round to his house on the 23 rd of April early in the morning at about 8am so
he could Valet my car.
• 3 hours later I came back to his house and picked up the car and it looked better than I have ever seen it – all minor scratches gone
• The next step was to ask exactly how I could help with this small business.
• He said he wanted to start off slowly and work his way up but first of all he wanted a business card.
• He said he would do a rough sketch of what he would want it to look like and also he asked me if I could do a few basic designs of a website and he said he would get back to me with the sketches.
• The only thing I knew about the business card at this point is that he wanted to call it GRF Valeting. (George Robert Freeman Valeting)

STAGE 2• Unfortunately after our first meeting on the 21st and 23rd I couldn’t get much done as I
was waiting for the sketches and his ideas before I started.
• He went to France for a week.
• I started to plan ideas myself.
• I didn’t want to do the wrong thing

CONTINUED• In the time that he was in France I didn’t get much work done
• I didn’t have a clue exactly what he wanted me to do
• I need the sketches to base my work on
• All I did in this time was wait for him to get back and try and contact him as soon as possible

CONTINUED• He arrives back from France
• I contact him via the shop time table and I went in the shop on his night
• Gave him my USB stick and asked him to put some pictures and give me a sketch or two
• He said he will do it as soon as possible which ended up being the next day when I had finished my shift at work.
• Went over everything to do with the site and business card.
• He said I am more interested in the Business card not the website and for the website to just have a basic lay out.
• I suggested some ideas of what programs to use and we agreed on Photoshop.

STARTING THE WORK• So I finally got the USB stick after waiting for a week
• What he gave me I didn’t expect to get – too simple
• I only had about 8 pictures which didn’t really help
• 1 sketch – very simple

PICTURES – BEFORE CLEAN

HIS CAR AFTER VALET

ONWARDS• Those are the only few decent pictures of the dirty and clean process
• I started to design a basic website design and a business card
• I started experimenting around with background and writing but he specifically that he would like the colors to be based on black and white.
• I personally thought this would be boring and dull for potential customers to look at.

MY WORK – BUSINESS CARD
![Page 19: Collaborative work placement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070322/5592acce1a28abf5548b47be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FEEDBACK• Impressed with business as it was simple and not too complicated and apparently it gets
his main points across that he wanted.
• By the time I had shown him the website designs, he seemed to have gone off the idea and more enthusiastic towards the business card.
![Page 20: Collaborative work placement](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070322/5592acce1a28abf5548b47be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
THINGS I HAVE LEARNT• To spend more time looking for a work placement and be more organized with finding
one.
• Try and get as much information off the client as possible from the start
• Complications could get in the way.
• It has also shown me what it could be like in a real job after college with meeting deadlines and given only a certain amount of information to create something.
• Some clients aren’t reliable.

THINGS I COULD IMPROVE ON• Time keeping
• Enthusiasm towards the project set
• Photoshop skills

Overall the Client liked my end product but personally I think I could of done a lot better with more information.
Thanks for Listening
