Explanation Operation

So this is what we did with bag full o' dog toys.
They were used in Bompas & Parr's stall at the V&A Village Fete, over the weekend. Their stand was comprised of a live game of Operation.
This involved shoving your hand into Harry (Parr's) 'stomach' and retrieving a food item (see; dog toys) that he had eaten that day.


Inside each of these was a prescription from the doctor that announced whether you had 'won' or not. (These are the little things I designed)

When I asked how it was all set up under the operation table I was told that it was just magic.
I believe this, but the inside of his stomach did have a distinctly jelly-ish consistency to it.

All in all it was a fun evening.
I won a tea bag.

Evîdénce

Really just so I can say, "look mum, this is why I haven't got a job that actually pays me yet."

This does make me a bit proud though. The only other time I've seen my name in print is when I was in one of my middle school's Christmas concert programmes.
As 'Flautist No.2'.

That might have to do

When I was interning at Dazed & Confused, they asked me to have a go at designing the layout for the Fashion Forward piece (in this months edition).
So I did.
I doubt whether they will have used any of it, but I certainly gave it a shot. And they said they'd put my name in the masthead (whether it's the right name or not is yet to be discovered...). Pretty exciting though.
Any way, these first 3 are the ones they were the most positive about.
In a "that might have to do" kind of way.




And so follow the rest of my attempts...

Putting the EXPERIENCE in work experience

This is what £30 worth of food-shaped dog toys looks like.

Who?

I was just checking out the playlist on Dazed Digital (to see if anyone had made such comments as; "WOW, who did this illustration?" / "What a brill illustration (brillustration)" / "I am a fan of the illustration". (They hadn't.)), when I noticed they had gotten my bloody name wrong!
"Rachel Gold".
They must've assumed my email address (gold as in Goldsmiths, btw) was my name. Which would make sense, to be honest.
I was planning on turning this into a bit of office banter today, but then I thought that actually this is quite a brilliant Dazed style pseudonym. I could've come up with a better one, but I wasn't aware it was an option.
Plus I don't much like my surname. It's just a word really. Hmm, so is gold.
Rubbish.
