The first placement I did was with Affari Media. I contacted the company through a friend. After the initial contact, I was invited to do a placement. Affari media is a Nottingham based company who specialise in digital publications and also print.
I immediately began working on live projects the first being the Fujitsu digital publication.
You can view the original high resolution publication here:

The new re-uploaded ISSU digital publication is lower resolution quality but you can clearly see what I was involved with and helped work on. I found it extremely useful to work on live work for a big client and it allowed me to get a feel for the working process first hand. I was grateful to be trusted to work on the live work and other similar projects.
Although only a small fraction of the work shown below was physically done by me I was involved in the creative discussions and helped make decisions.
Here are a couple of pages I specifically helped mock up. It was interesting to see how the work eventually developed from an idea to a finished spread.
I created the three little red icons on the above spread and laid out the page with the copy. I found it hard adapting to the corporate style the publication required but as the process proceeded I began to feel more confident.
