Placement; Studio assistant- Paper Salad

Started placement at Paper Salad on the 5th; they're a small card and gift wrap design company based in Cheshire. Karen and Claire are the designers who own the business and Emma is the studio director who helps run it- organising the studio and card ranges, sorting out orders and overseeing to the packing of the card orders etc.
First day didn't go great due to the fact I was ill, but apart from that the first week was quite good. I got to work on a new range of cards that had just come in, hand-finishing sample sets to be sent out to buyers and clients. Made up a selection of cards for orders- one was over 500 of the same design!
I was able to see some of the designs Karen and Claire have been working on for a new range which will come out for next year; I feel privledged to see the designs in process :)
I even made a mock-up of a gift bag set of designs; ready to be photographed and sent off to the buyers and will be a range of Christmas gift bags brought out by Glick next year!
