Day 10 - Leeds Guide WE Diary

today was an interesting day! i worked on the Student Guide for the morning and then in the afternoon i decided to create a brief for myself to make it more interesting. i decided to create promotional postcards and flyers for the Leeds Guide Student Guide and i restricted myself to one colour, black and white, where the flyers and postcards would be distributed and by who then i got to work. i used imagery from the covers i have already created, the Leeds guide image libraries and their logo libraries. I created six postcards and six flyers, that act as three sets of two and decided the best people to distribute them would be Don't Panic. the Leeds Guide already have several clients that distribute Don't Panic packs and as this is a Student Guide, my promotional things will be distributed in the appropriate place for the target market. i haven't actually told the Leeds Guide people this yet but first thing Monday i will be letting them know, as i have the artwork ready. plus i want to know if what ive been doing for the past week is actually any use or what they want. anyway in the afternoon i have mostly been sat at home.....yep home! there has been a leak in the Leeds Guide and water is dripping from the ceiling. apparently is was coming from my apartment so my water was turned off and would not be turned back on until a plumber had been to fix the leak! well my landlord lives in Canada and the people who i deal with in relation to the apartment (my landlords parents) are on holiday! i could not get in contact with my landlord, his parents, a plumber and i had no running water! in the end i got in contact with one plumber whos number the parents had left us but he was rude and was maybe going to charge us on the spot, then i phoned another plumber and he rearranged his whole evening and schedule to come and help! (also a recommendation from the parents) it turns out the first plumber came to sort the leak out and said it was just a leak in my apartment from the toilet and wasn't effecting the Leeds Guide building, the second plumber cam and found out it really was more that a little leak from the toilet! the plug on the bath was loose and the pipe underneath was loose making water leak under the floor so now my bathroom has a buckled laminated floor, no side on the bath and will need to be dried out before it can be fixed. both plumbers will be invoicing my landlords parents and i should think so! its not my doing and the apartment is so old! anyway its Friday! im going!
