My Brief Conversation With Jacob
I explained my situation to Jacob, that I was in my second year of a degree cause, and because of that I didn't feel like I had any justification to write an article for a blog such as this due to not really having any particular area of expertise, which I saw as important given the specific nature of the posts.
I had recently added my e-mail account to my blogger page, allowing visitors to my blog to contact me directly. I asked Jacob if this was how he had contacted me, and told him that I'd added my e-mail address in the hope that people would contact me, as I'm currently lacking direction for where I want to go after finishing my degree. He confirmed that he'd found me through my blog, and told me that people can make a career out of a hobby, as well as saying that I'd be welcome to post to the blog at some point in the future.
I found this very reassuring, as the fact that I'd been identified as a potential contributor to a professional agency at this stage of my degree because of the quality of my blogging is something I find very reassuring.
Ochre Media
Like previously mentioned, Ochre Media are a Marketing and Design agency. They take a much more commercial approach to their work than most design studios do because of the marketing element of the company. This is something that I appreciate as I think that graphic design is often quite idealistic and at times doesn't take a very practical approach to communication, although with that said, because of this crossover their design work isn't, in my opinion, as successful as it could be. I found their website to be quite slow and somewhat confusing because of the size of it, which is something I find very strange given that they're trying to promote a streamlined service.
