Holly Wales came and visited us at stockport college, she came to do a lecture about her amazing work and how she got where she has today. She explained all the struggles and all the compliments she has had over the years since her degree. her work is really impressive I love the use of colours and like the 3D effect she uses using pens.

Fig Taylor

Fig Taylor, Portfolio Adviser and has had a book published, called 'How to Create a Portfolio and Get Hired', came and visited our group at stockport college, she's really funny and her talk was very informative. She later got into small groups as she looked at our portfolio and was able to advise us. In my portfolio for a start she said i needed to reprint my work because the prints were pretty bad, and she couldn't tell what they are. also that my 3D work is really interested and I have a really good skill to keep at it but in illustration world theres not much for it, she also said look at charity work and set design and market myself doing those things.
