Objects - A Place For Everything


As I'm currently trying to make myself look as employable as possible by sprucing up my CV and portfolio I thought I'd post some images from my final campaign at uni. I graduated last summer now and the job front has been slow but to stay positive I thought I'd rearrange my portfolio for any potential interviews. It's a big job so I best get cracking ay.

These images were apart of the Objects by Oi Polloi project (which was a brand extension of the menswear retailer Oi Polloi), where I create a concept homeware store, was aimed at the male market. If you've been following the blog for a while you may remember a couple of posts about the magazine I produced to go along with the campaign, which is where I used the images. My inspiration came from the likes of Jack Spade, Present & Correct, Things Organized Neatly and Carl Kleiner.

Nearly a year on I'm still really happy with the work that I produced, which is a pretty good sign. Have any of you been working on any interesting projects of late?

    You're very talented. Whenever I see beautifuly organised objects together (especially of the same colour combination) I want to just sort out everything on my messy desk!

    I hope the job front isn't slow for long, you're talented and business will be boomin' before you know it.

  10. This is fabulous, Mat. I cannot believe that you haven't found the right job yet - you're immensely talented. I guess my photography is my main project.
