Schools OUT

I can't believe it, school is over!! After probably the most stressful two weeks of portfolio madness of our lives last night we got to see all of our work displayed and celebrate graduating from Shillington.

It was a pretty emotional affair, well I've already cried a good few times this week, happy tears just because I can't actually believe what we have all achieved! It is so weird to think for 3 months we have been designing 8/9 hours a day plus coming home and doing more and now monday morning I will wake up and designing isn't gonna be the same without the encouragement and good vibes from all the Shillington playas.

So once again my friends did what they do best.. be amazing! Poor Lizzie was receiving texts off me from 5pm onwards going ''It's not right'' ''Bring Cigarettes'' ''WHAT AM I GOING TO DO'' to which she obviously responded in classic Lizzie Brown fashion being very calming and offering various options to help. Damon rocked up providing me various laughs and jokes as usual. Sarah and Pete arrived with a card and bunch of Sunflowers which are my absolute favourite...I didn't even know how Sar had remembered me telling her! Pete got the explanation of why they are my favourite down to a tee..because they are the happiest looking flower you can find! Lovely Bryony got lost on her way but made it down in the end equipped with an Estee Lauder shaped gift and a classic homemade card as well as one by ''calligraphuck'' (my favourite cards of all time) and then Lisa and Craig made me cry with this beautiful book about visual culture and design, its definitely a new favourite on my desk!

The past three months have probably been the best three months of my life and I just want to say a massive thankyou to our lovely teachers for all the help they gave us and everything they taught us, all the other guys in the class for putting up with my playa ways for 3 months and my pals for just being them and being there 24/7. Also probably couldn't have done any of it without my family, Clark OGs for life.


So the track of today is no hip hop I'm afraid but my celebrating song, when I handed my portfolio in I was listening to this on a mix and text my pal Mark saying ''Who's remix is this'' to which he replied ''Mine''... ofcourse. Big up to him for also being amazing and putting up with me in the last two weeks, texts every day, 2am pattern pictures, me crying, me excited, frantic messages about what I needed to do. Its been a whirlwind. But imagine me handing my portfolio in with this in the background...it was the best feeling ever!! Play on Playas!!!
