Got the job!

Lets make this simple. This is my email for the graphic design job at Cardiff University Student Union. I thought it should be simple and straight forward. If they like it, they will reply to it. And they did.

Hi, 

I’m interested with the graphic design job. You can view my portfolio here:

Best regards,

Rafie

The job is to design candidates menifestos for the coming Non-Sabbatical Officer By-Elections 2008/09 which is going to be held on the 3rd and 4th November 2008. I was assigned with two candidates and 2 hours time is allocated for each. At the end of the hour, I should have everything ready to print.

Design process

1. Ice-breaking session. (5 minutes)
2. Design brief. (10 minutes)
3. Data collection and design sketches + mock up. (15 minutes)
4. Implementation. (≈1 hour)
5. Final touch. (15 minutes)

There are two main challenges that I learn to cope in this project. One is to work with a limited time period and two is to cater the needs of the client. I learn to buy time and break the barrier between client and designer by having them (the candidates) to look at few templates before the ice-breaking session. It is solely for them to get some picture on how their menifesto and poster should look like. Some like simple and minimal while others like feminine and swirl graphics.
