Dear Michael Filer,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am currently studying in my 3rd year of Visual Communication at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. I am writing to you as I am currently doing my Final Major Project on Recycling. In particular I would like to find out the different ways in which you promote recycling in Bournemouth and why you think it is important for people to do so.
If you have any statistics on our recycling methods for the past year it would be greatly appreciated, I will be getting in contact with Viridor whom I hear deal with the recycling of our waste I am interested in what waste is used for to recycle into new everyday objects such as drainage piping, car upholstery, fleeces etc.
My aim is to create an Ipad application that gives a more engaging experience to viewers as to why recycling is important and to produce a motivation for viewers who don’t normally recycle.
I would very much appreciate your insight and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours Sincerely,
Andy Richmond

TLK 3 - Freelancing
The third TLK lecture invited two freelance designers: Joel Lardner (an illustrator) and Chris Wharton (a web designer). Jane Richardson who is a senior member of recruitment agency Aquent was also there.
The main subject of the talk was looking at how students were to get a foot in the door with companies, how to approach them and employability. As a freelancer the most important thing is to create the best professional profile you can. Whatever research you can do into a company they can do into the employee too. There were some helpful suggestions of links to look at such as behance and sortfolio two types of online portfolio. When looking for jobs twitters tweet deck could be a useful resource.
It has influenced me in my extended major project, because it has made me think about how graduates look to the employer. There are plenty of social networking sites to build profiles and brands, including Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. When a prospected employer can type a candidates name into google, the first thing that comes up will be these social networking sites... so it is important to keep professional and personal profiles separate.
