If you haven’t heard already, this Tuesday night is Portfolio Night for RMIT Students. We get to speak with 3 different agencies, showing them our Portfolio’s for 10 minutes each and then it’s networking for the rest of the night. Yeah, baby! Ha-ha.

A big thanks to everyone who has put in so many hours to organise this event! Kerin, Shannon, Cecilie, Nabila and more. A big thanks to Shannon & Cecilie for making this awesome poster as well. If you haven’t read the copy Shannon’s written for Campaign Brief, head over there now – it’s very punny.

My 3 “dates” for the evening are Che, Admark & Soap. They better be ready for me. ;D

My Goals for this evening (besides the obvious task of impressing the agencies people) is taking over the twitter feed @RMIT_PitchNight. Apparently there’s going to be a screen running a live feed. I’mma “hashtag” and “@” it hardcore. Watch out RMIT students and agencies, you ain’t seen nothin’ till you’ve seen me tweeting. Ha-ha.

Lots of Love,

So, basically in the past two weeks i’ve been sick with a cold, hardcore migraines, fevers alongside assignments and stressing over whether things are happening, classwork and just freaking out in general on whether or not things are going to get done on time. I’m extremely excited about our second future lions entry – we were working on a video and drawing up everything for it – but then we decided to cut the video and do more drawings and shove it all in a .pdf because it complimented our brand (Copic) more. I think it was the better choice in the end, because now we get to highlight the range of colours in our brand as opposed to what would have ended up being a minimalistic video.

I think the turning point in the week happened wednesday night – I’d hardly been feeling like my normal optimistic self the whole week but, when I started watching motivation videos – man, I feel pumped and completely back on track! If you haven’t watched it already, one of the bloggers that inspires me most, Gala Darling did an amazing talk for TED on Radical Self Love. Saw heaps of little Radical Self Love scrapbooks and it inspired me to start a new one. Bought myself a new Moleskin  (Lego Style) and now I can’t wait to fill the pages; my last scrapbook from Europe is a Moleskin too and its full of amazing stuff. This scrapbook is gonna’ remind me of all the positive things and amazing experiences i’ll be having over the next couple of months in Melbourne!

I caught up with one of my besties (that’s her in the photo, yo!) today too. I’ve heard of this bar in a shifty chinatown alleyway called Croft Institute and i’m dying to visit it. We found the place today (how amazing does the street art look?!) but weren’t able to go inside, as it did open for another hour. Definitely put on my list of places I need to visit! Hope you’ve been having an amazing week so far. And, hope you look forward to a future lions post coming soon, i’m finally gonna’ explain and show our campaigns!

Lots of Love,

Everyone is currently raving about pressing this button. TNT Channel in Belgium.

So, i’m currently working on Copic as my brand for Future Lions and a while back in Denmark I saw my classmate watching this. Linked my creative partner to it because it was “inspirational”. I have never watched it fully to the end. IT IS SO GROSS!

L’Odyssee de Cartier, is one of the most beautiful advertisements i’ve ever seen.

And to finish off this post, I leave you with Caine’s Arcade. A heartwarming story involving a flash mob. And when I say flash mob, I hope you know what I mean – ’cause I clearly don’t mean a group of flashers running down the street…OR DO I? Yeah, no. Ha-ha.

Lots of Love,
