Dipoma'd

Finally got through the last few weeks of our course with only a few interruptions (thank God for our Macs being near indestructible) finished the rebrand campaign that I was doing for Rah, and both Rah and I are happy with the result and it has received good feedback thus far. I will post some photos and images of it soon.
Tomorrow will be our course completion ceremony where we will receive our diplomas, and due to lack of venues we are having it at a local bowling club which sums up our year quite well really.
So with course coming to an end along with Rahs contract at Pickled Possum and another bout of earthquakes, we had been thinking hard of what next for the adventures of Rah & Tom.
Our final decision...MELBOURNE!
We decided that we definitely wanted to get out of Christchurch, so first we were thinking of moving to Auckland where both of us have contacts and friends up there, but with the burning desire to one day soon to go traveling we could see that moving to Auckland we could easily get stuck into starting our careers there. Which would end up putting of travel for at least another couple of years. This is where I suggested moving to Melbourne, it would be a leap out of New Zealand where we can start a working holiday and start moving around the globe.Although both of us would love to get a job in our industries over in Melbourne we are not too fussed on it, any job where we can save a bit of cash and have fun with would be perfect.
So we have tickets all booked, we leave Christchurch 26th August spend a few days in Timaru, then head up to the North Island on the 31st where we will catch up with friends and family before leaving Wellington to Melbourne 4th September.
We are so excited and cant wait to get over there, we have heaps more planning and sorting out to do but things seem to be falling into place!

Lots of design, lots of photos and lots of news.

Rahs new identity

For our final brief we are to take an existing company or business and do a full rebrand for them. I have chosen to do it for Rahs film and photography, as she would like to get into freelancing. This is just the logo for now but I'm designing everything from stationary to cd/dvd cases to a website. Pretty happy with the way everything is going so far...and more importantly Sarah likes it to.

Hope to have more to show you soon.

6 weeks to go!

Had our frist class today since the mighty rumble of Februrary, it was such a good feeling to know that we are finally now back on track to finish our diploma's. It was also good to clear up exactly what we need to do to finish...Since our Portfolios are still stuck in the middle of the Red Zone we now have to kinda remake one in this next six weeks. And to do this we are to carry on with our campaigning brief that we were starting on the day of the quake and make it good enough that it can also act as our Poirtfolio, since it has all logo development, stationary,websites,brochures and so on and so on involved. So it s a huge releif that we dont have to try and redo our portfolios as such, but to have something to add when we finally retreive them from the Red Zone.

I think I'm going to enjoy counting down these next 6 weeks!
