6D2 - A good social media opportunity, people were talking about my work and were lead to my social media. Also gave me a reputation in Norwich circles for further freelance design work. It involved professional back and forth with the organisers of the festival and the social media officer.
As part of a project last year, I submitted a logo design for Norwich Beer Festival and won the competition. As a result of this, the festival printed the design on glasses, badges, t-shirts, brochures and other memorabilia. Attending this was an interesting opportunity for networking, many people were interested in the logo and it lead to conversations about design work.
This was a privileged to be a part of, the beer festival is something that most people in Norwich know of. Many people collect the glasses year on year and it's interesting to think that my work may be preserved in this way for years to come. Walking into the festival was also a driving experience, seeing the glasses being held by masses of people was exciting. It felt like a massive achievement and it made me want to have my work printed and produced on a big scale again. In the future I hope to enter more competitions and potentially do work for festivals like this.
General coverage of the event:
Because the festival is quite popular in Norwich, there was some local and digital coverage of the event. This meant that more people were linked to my design account and I felt a general motivating sense of achievement.
