Snowbombing

For one of my briefs this term I am coming up with some form of promotional design for the Snowbombing festival next year. With this in mind I was going through their website collecting images and the like, stumbled across a contacting page, so I thought I'd leave them a quick message,
I said something along the lines of,

Afternoon!

Im a graphic designer in my final year, looking to produce
a new promo campaign as one of my briefs, just wondering
if you guys would be kind enough to send me any promo
stuff you have, flyers / posters / stickers / brochures
etc

Anything would be greatly appreciated! and if you want
to throw in a free ticket that would just be wonderful,
cheers,
Mitch.

About Half'n'hour later got a reply from a lad called Alex and this
was our line of discussion...

'Hi Mitch,

This is definitely of interest for us. To confirm, you
would be free to design some items for our promo campaign potentially, is that
correct?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Alex'

Hey Alex,

Well my initial plan was to create / propose some form of promotional campaign for Next years snowbombing as part of my final year project.

I've brainstormed some ideas, focussing on new, innovative ideas that may not have been done in the past,

So far I've got things like a limited edition piste map, holiday style brochure in form of a flyer including all info needed then maybe something with Metro newspaper, series of snowbombing covers or something.

However if you have any specific design briefs I'll be more then happy to work on them!

Cheers

Mitch

Hi Mitch,

We are in short, struggling with our design promo work. 2 designers recently left our company, leaving one, meaning we are potentially looking for someone to help with a few web-banners, print adverts etc.

If this could be incorporated into your course, we would be able to throw some snowbombing bits and maybe a holiday your way.

Would be able to send me a few examples of some bits you have done before?

From receiving this I went to send them my portfolio, then
realised that I haven't really got a strong one! So I spent
a bit of time producing a new and updated version, its
still not great, but gives a fair reflection on what I can
do...




Now just waiting to hear back from them, fingers crossed they'll like what they see or at least enough to give me a chance / trial brief or something. If this comes off Id be fucking stoked.
