contacts

This morning I made a conscious effort to really try and start contacting people. I put together a small pdf of work particularly relevant to editorial, and sought to contact people in that area first with those images.

I tried to take time and care to contact people particularly relevant to me (or rather, I would be relevant to them). Four or so emails in I realised that my emails weren't really leading, and there wasn't really a reason for them to email me back.  It was very much "hello here is my work bye!!!!"

I don't want to make these emails particularly meaty, or really ask much of the other person, but just a small something to sort of suggest input on their part? or at least, brings it back to them. "I hope these can be of interest to you" etc.

I've sent a few, but I feel behind and possibly one of just the huge tidal wave of graduating students. I hope my physical mailer will be of interest to them. I think, for now, maybe it would be an interest to set a goal such as, "email at least one person every day for the next month" This is what I have sent to the editorial art directors
