The Right Job for Me

After working in different areas of graphic design and advertising (through Uni and work) I have found that my strengths lie in ideas generation, visualisation, understanding the audience and clients tone of voice and research.

My ideal role would be in a planning/strategy role for a small to medium sized agency that specialise in public awareness campaigns and non profits.

Another role that appeals to me is marketing assistant. The role can be very varied and I would still have the opportunity to use my design skills.

The reason that I don’t want to work for a big agency is because I did work experience for Mccann in the insight dept and the role wasn’t varied enough for me. With a smaller agency you would have a wider job description and more creative input.

After I’ve finished the BA I would like to get onto a graduate scheme for an agency in the strategy and insight department.

I don’t think that’s too much to ask!

This is a collection of agencies I’d like to work with and job roles that interest me.

The Face of Litter

An environmental group in Hong Kong has gone high-tech in its fight against street littering. It actually collects human DNA from rubbish to recreate the faces of those who left it, believing that public shaming will do a better job than government fines.In a campaign of “putting a face behind the crime,” the group collects cigarette butts, chewing gum and carton cups and makes composite pictures. The genetic material from these things then goes to a laboratory, where scientists use it to predict ethnicity and face shape, as well as eye and hair colour from the samples.The co-founder of the project called “The Face of Litter,” Nissa Marion, told said about the idea “It was wonderful to use such new and innovative technology to promote a message that’s quite important for this region. The campaign is intended to provoke thought, discussion our waste habits, [on] littering, but also just [on] how much we throw away and what we consume on the daily basis,” she said.
