The Chase
Earlier in this semester we had a presentation by Lise Brian of The Chase agency.
The presentation itself was massively helpful, Lise gave us great advice on how to get in touch with art directors and other commissioning clients and how to best organise meetings with them. She also gave us great tips on our portfolio's, both physical and in PDF format. She then took us through our portfolio's one to one, and again gave us some brilliant advice and very nice, confidence boosting comments. This was my first contact with a commissioning client and one I won't forget as I was on a confidence high after speaking with Lise.

Contacts with Commissioning Clients #3
Billington Cartmel
On the monday evening of our trip we went to see Tom Genower and his colleagues at the agency Billington Cartmel. This was kindly set up by Steven Nuttall, so thanks Ste!
They had some brilliant comments for us on the industry, commissioning clients, and some really kind comments for us on our work. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the guys gave us a huge slice of time for which I am really grateful. It did my confidence a world of good to hear their comments.

Contacts with Commissioning Clients #2
Big Orange
Again on the Tuesday of our London visit, we went to see Robin Heighway-Bury and Paul Davis at Big Orange Illustration.
They were very welcoming and again gave us some brilliant advice about our portfolio's and how to present them. Also there was much informative and useful comment on the nature of being an illustrator and the industry itself, which was both useful and also quite scary!
It was great to see a working studio with illustrators getting on with commissions around us and made me want to set up a studio with my peers, which is something I do hope to do in the future.

Contacts with Commisioning Clients #1
Faber and Faber
On the Tuesday of our trip to London we visited art director Donna Payne and her colleagues at Faber and Faber. They were very gracious hosts [even offering us biscuits!] and gave us a huge chunk of there surely very busy schedule.
It was a very informative and interesting meeting at which Donna and her colleagues took us through the process of commissioning an illustrator and the nature of the communication between illustrator, publisher, and client. I must admit I was quite nervous at first but soon I realised they are just normal and very nice people and I felt much more confident about approaching similar people in the future. Also they all had very kind words for us regarding our work, and also very useful advice as well, about both our physical and PDF folio's.
Additionally, it was very interesting to see their offices and what kind of working environment they had.
A huge thanks to Donna and her co-workers at Faber and Faber.
