Studio Brief 1 - Creative Report: Moving On

A month or two ago I got in contact with David Carson to see if he was interested in being interviewed for the creative report. Even though he accepted to answer some questions by saying "fire away" still to this day he has not responded even after a few subtle emails chasing him up.

Using David Carson to produce a report would of been extremely inspirational and exciting to my career but as one door closes another opens. I got in contact with a couple of other studios to see if I could interview them with no avail. In the end I contacted the company I had previously worked for back in London. Incisive Media is a huge B2B company with an internal Graphics team and recently the senior designer recently got promoted to design manager about half a year ago. I thought it would of been a good idea to interview Emma to get an insight into the Graphic team and what it was like to work within a corporate environment where flexibility and creative freedom is often restricted. The biggest advantage with choosing this route is that I have already built a friendly/professional relationship with Emma, therefore I didn't limit my self to just an email or phone interview, I wanted to go the all the way an get a filmed interview as I knew it could be more beneficial to have a one on one conversation. It's also beneficial for me as I don't know everything about the professional side to Emma as most times she is away in meetings so it was a chance for me to get to know her a bit more.

Below is the text message I sent to Emma to ask her if I could do a film interview with her. She essentially agreed to do the interview and a date and time was set to shoot the interview before Christmas.
