Springetts - Day Nine

Most of the day worked on the Roots and Wings brief. Developed the central figure to offer a variety of arm positions, although the original, with arms hidden behind her back, works well with the floral shield design. I wish I had the time and nerve to develop more radical designs of my own. I'm quite pleased with the results so far but can't help feeling that my heart and soul has not really been in the development of this one. It's not what I would choose to do.

Had a phone call from Zoe mid-afternoon to request help with the making of more Bendicks mock-ups. Not sure what had happened but all of a sudden she had half an hour before the courier was due to collect and there were still eight packages to make up. It was all hands to the pump making up the new style sachet packets. Sam, one of the junior designers, offered me a hand - it was good to feel the network of support extending to myself.

Roger had agreed to review and offer feedback on my portfolio and finally, after a lengthy meeting with clients, he was available to get down to it.
