This was an authentic experience, working with such a talented artists can seriously change your point if view! The studio is based in Stockwell, and it’s enclosed in a beautiful art community were other group of artists works. At first I was quite scared, I felt like I wasn’t enough for them, but they make me feel accepted and shared some of the projects they were working on with me (most of them famous people). Plus I could pet their dogs! As a goal I wanted to learn how to use my Wacom tablet and how to approach briefs when you encounter customers
with different backgrounds. The project Manager, Ollie, helped me with all of them, prompt to give me an hand when necessary. Honestly, first week was tough, I felt the pressure of working with such talented people, who knows already what to do while you are completely clueless. And probably the point was exactly this one, I had to came out from my safe zone and push as much as I could. Once I got use to timing and ways to work it became a little bit more easy, I was focusing on my projects and
sometimes collaborating with Jessie the Intern (while petting the Shibas). I received very constructive feedbacks from Kate Moross itself, and the way she approach you it’s amazing, even if you know what you make wasn’t the best, she could find something positive to take and re invent! Overall, as I said before, it was an amazing experience and I learn fundamental skills and ways to react to different clients and briefs, shame is gone but I will keep treasure of it.

His idea of rebranding has been influenced by 80’s theme, with bold colours and lines.

How to start building ideas is another challenging part of the process; the easy way? Illustrator as sketchbook and moodboard to make some inspirational stuff. The procedure help you to be constantly focus on what the result you want to achieve (basically to stay always in the same way you start with). It was challenging and exhausting, but I made some progress and sketch a lot.
different artistic depth, including merchandising and illustration. I’ve been lucky to work with such a talented illustrator who showed me techniques and tricks. My skills of digital drawing were 100% satisfied, if now I’m sure of myself when I do some sketches is thanks to them.
Day after day, to vary a little they put me to work on other projects of
