Wow, only £12k for a creative job in London? Times must be bad. Thanks Lee, I might still apply, although I'm not sure I could afford to live in London on that wage.
They say they want graduates hoping to break into the industry, then they ask for a successful graphic novel portfolio... Choose one!
Since when did successful artists in London work for minimum wage?
The graphics industry as a whole seems to have been devalued considerably over the last few years.
A prospective client told me today that she's just bought InDesign and Photoshop 'to do the basics herself', and that the freelancer she uses at the moment (who has a full-time job) gets paid £15p/h to do 'work on the side'.
If the public actually opened their eyes they would realise they are surrounded by cr*p design, produced by unskilled and inexperienced designers, propagated by employers or clients willing to pay peanuts for what is a highly skilled profession.
Time for a regulatory body for the graphic arts I think!
(Apologies for posting the link without checking it out)
I've popped them an email and slipped them a relevant sample of my work. And tried to tidy my carbonmade a bit.
I knew you'd hop onto that one Typo, like a ninja. Did you get a reply?
