Sarah's Cross-Atlantic and Cross-Country travels are documented in this blog, from a semester in London during her undergrad to her graduate work in Savannah, Georgia. It may also contain the occasional griping about mundane things in her everyday experiences; oh, how we do love our double meanings.
Ahhhh week seven. It's been quite the busy week! The Technology for Marketing & Advertising conference/trade show took place in London, and Fast Web Media presented weatherFIT there. I got to hang out, look at the other businesses and their services, and just have a grand old time. I did put together a Vine to promote the weatherFIT booth though, which is never quite a simple task. You have 6 seconds to put together an interesting story. Recording the video isn't particularly easy either, as you have to know exactly what you will film and for how long. But inspiration struck, and I made my 6-second sale.
I had to do some graphic design this week for my promotions class as well. It's nice when you have a graphic design degree and you're not in a design class. Expectations for your work are considerably lower, and people are impressed with what you threw together in a matter of minutes. I mean, uh, spent all week sketching out and meticulously editing. Yeah, that one. Anyway, I created a postcard for my marketing materials.
And lastly, I went on a couple of excursions this weekend and brought the camera along once again. I went back to Camden on Saturday and snapped a few shots (mostly from the bus on the way there, but a couple by the Camden Locks). Then I went out to Hampton Court Palace today, and took plenty of fun photographs all over King Henry VIII's old stomping grounds. And not once was I compelled to sing my favorite Herman's Hermits song ever:
Wait. Can we take a moment to acknowledge how adorkable that guitarist is?! If he were 50 years younger...
Anyway, good ol' Henry VIII. What a guy. He had a nice place though, so I'll give him that. I leave you now with pictures of my weekend wandering about London.
