WEEK 1 - DINOSAUR

First week of D&AD Ad workshop over!
A cheeky little visit to Dinosaur in the Northern Quarter. It was way shorter and informal than we thought, which is probably a good thing considering how nervous we both were.
Seemed really nice though and we were pretty happy with the work we showed, luckily no-one had the same ideas as us *massive sigh of relief* more criticism would have been appreciated though.

expensive beers in Walrus afterwards was nice, everyone in the group seems really cool and it's definitely going to be less intimidating showing our work to these people now. Although they all seem to be from BCU in Birmingham, feel like we've gatecrashed their little party. Ciaran and I are going to have to fly the Man Met flag on our own.

I'll post the pics of our work later, any comments from our massive following of avid online fans would be appreciated! ....anyone? ....no?

Peace out

D&AD begins!

We've got onto the D&AD advertising workshop for the north of england! Whoop Whoop!
Our first session is this wednesday with Dinosaur, we've been given an arsehole of a brief so we've been to trying our hardest to sell a charity for cannibals. Looking forward to meeting the guys at dinosaur though, we've been told they're quite funky and some of their work is nice.
Terrified about the other kids being smarter, quicker and funnier than us though, i imagine the first crit will be 10 times scarier. I've posted some of Dinosaurs funnier work although i'm slowly learning that i've got the sense of humour of a 7yr old. Wish us luck

Peace out

SAY WAT?!

My name is Tom Waters and my beardier associate is Ciaran Watkins, we are collectively known as Say Wat?! Creatives. We are the archetypal advertising students in search of our first crit, our first placement and maybe even a cheeky first job. We have dreams of fast cars, expensive japansese denim and big shiny offices, but there is a credit crunch and the 80's was nearly 20 years ago so we'll resort to working our arses off and taking what we can get.

We figured the best way to record our views, our inspirations and hopefully our shenanigans and adventures would be to blog. If some people want to read this then sweet, if nobody does then oh well?! but at least they can mark it at uni.

Hopefully this blog will take us through our final term and into the big bad world where we will encounter all sorts of adventures.

Peace out

Tom
