In cooperation with Blendomatic I’ve established my independent webshop. The cool thing of the cooperation is that we have a great deal of creative freedom and can produce real great quality clothing. I will release the products here and link them to Blendomatic, where you can buy them online. They are also available at loose, Eindhoven. In the near future I will post new stores where leggozcreations clothing will be available. So keep checking this section of my blog for new releases! And spread the word! (webshop is in the rightmenu)
I’m leaving Holland again these days! This time for a quick visit to my good friend Ruud Kool who stays in Barca for three months, doing an internship that he had won. bye! (Barcelona)
I will be heading out for Italy these days! It’s a studie-trip, so I probably will be doing a lot of sightseeing, get drunk, and have a great time with my dear friends from SintLucas. So yeah, I am really excited and can’t wait for departure! Adiosss amigos!
So I’m back in Holland for a few days now, but I’ve spend most of my time in bed..headache, stomachache etc..But here’s a short story about Lincoln. The three days where absolutely awesome! Everything went by so fast and I’ve got the idea that I have only seen 1% yet. The university facilities where kick-ass. Amazing buildings with inspiring rooms, not so flashy and clean, but really had a productive vibe to it. I’ve had also one of my most nervous days in a while..the day that of theinterview. Myself and four others decided to apply on creative advertising, rather than graphic design. We were told that the course was on of the most demanding and we really needed to give everything we got. (no one has ever been accepted the 1st time, there is one dutch girl attending it right now after a test period of 3weeks..) So we knew we where up for a thrilling application. Were the graphic students where back in about 10 minutes, the creative advertisers had an interview from 30-40 minutes! Nervwrecking! but the good news, all of us did very well and he saw potential in us and had offerd us to start our course in the second year instead of the third year, cause our lack of basis knowledge..cause lets face it, creative advertising is a big step from graphic design and it requires other skills and talents. So me and the four others will think about the fact if we can stay in England for two years, instead of one. But we all faced the fact that it is a huge opportunity and challenge that we hardly can’t turn down. for me it’s the ambition to experience something really new, cause when I went to SintLucas it was also very new to me, never worked with computers and stuff like that, and in few years time I really started to getting the hang of it. So why not try something new in England? My job-perspective will rise if I succeed..so that’s also nice to know;). And it’s also cool that we will be one of the first dutch to actually build a great portfolio in two years on creative advertising. We also went to see some houses..and yess..we found ourselves an awesome shed! with a real nice and cosy vibe to it. Nice living room, nice bedrooms, big bathroom, 15 meter away from a gigantic park againt a hill, maybe ten minutes from the university..so yea, I am really excited already! cheers!
So tomorrow is the big day! departure to Lincoln, England. I will be there from 06-04-08 till 09-04-08 to do my interview and hand over my home assignment to apply to the university of Lincoln. I finished my project just a couple hours ago, I will post some images of that asap! So lets hope for the best!
Here are some impressions of my Lincoln ‘home’ assignment. I visualized my ‘musical landscape’ which resembles what home is for me. I’ve took pictures out of my balcony/garden of the view that I see everyday. It really makes me feel at home..more than the concrete that surrounds me. I matched it with parts of lyrics of music that I really like and that feature the word ‘home’. Together this stands for my musical landscape that I like to call my home. (I will fix a pdf here soon of the whole booklet which should give you a clear vision on how the spreads actually look like and so you can read the whole concept etc)
