Selling myself.

I've definitely been suffering this week with a serious case of a 'can't get a job, won't ever have a job' blues. So after perking up a bit after my driving lesson, as well as on the suggestion of Moon, I made this flyer.

I'm the first to admit that my graphic design skills are second to quite a few people's but I don't think that I've done a half-bad job on this. There was further suggestion, when I posted it on Twitter earlier, that I should add an image to the flyer, I guess because it would sell what I'm offering more. However, I believe that currently it's fine the way it is, I think the design is solid enough to catch people's attention, but that's just my big head. Further criticism is encouraged if you feel that it's needed.


Things aren't looking as down as they were at the beginning of the week though, having been in touch with a few promising leads this morning and with a telephone interview (I hope) to look forward to later this afternoon. I have also really made headway in scrap-booking again which will definitely help towards keeping me creative and stopping my brain from turning into mush, I'll maybe do a post about that in the next few days.

Haven't heard of SBTV?

You soon will; SBTV's founder, Jamal Edwards is a star on the rise.

You may notice that the up and coming Ed Sheeran owes a lot to SBTV, a simple search on Youtube can't deny the facts. SBTV is currently one of the youngest new media companies on the scene, letting other young people know about new music and what's going on. During the riots earlier this month, SBTV was at the forefront of informing it's audience of the issues in an accessible way. However, SBTV are putting no limits on what they want to achieve and how they're going to achieve it.

Earlier this year SBTV was the subject of the T4 documentary 'Inside SBTV: From Bedroom to Boardroom' and despite being around for four years previously, their popularity then soared.

Edwards is a gent and if I'd had the time, I would have been happy to have taken up the offer to blog some news articles for SBTV. But, due to my current situation, I'm happy to admire Edwards' achievements from afar and be quite pleased to have been aware of SBTV for a few months prior to 'Bedroom to Boardroom'; it's always great to feel as though you've grown with something.


Currently featuring on the Youtube homepage, earlier this evening Edwards' Google Chrome advert appeared in X-Factor's prime advertising slot and the SBTV website went down! Jamal Edwards is an inspirational young man in these times of arguable uncertainty and I'm looking forward to seeing what he's got coming up next.

Ikea Cats. ♥

This is my favourite advert at the moment.
I love cats and I love Ikea, so it was only natural.

Pepper Up.

This makes me feel so good.
