1. A day in the life of a graphic design student
2. My name: Tom White
3. Company Name/University Name etc: Plymouth College of Art
4. Web Address: http://www.pcad.ac.uk (College’s Address) http://www.teejaystudios.blogspot.com (mine)
5. City, country – Plymouth, England
6. How you Start the Day – ie. Get up what time, travel?
I start the day at 7 in the morning where I get up and drag myself to the graphic studio at college via a 45 minute bus journey, sadly I am yet to experience the wonders of a car. Once I’m at college along with the other students, we all collect ourselves into this ‘conference’ room, and are briefed by the tutors at the college about the days events and what is expected.
7. First jobs – My first job was actually re-designing an entire companies face. There colours, there website, there flyers, there business cards. Was a massive project that went on for about 6-7 months. But sadly, They had to close because of the money eating climate were stuck in.
8. The rest of your work day – The rest of my work day includes various tasks, tasks such as seeing the mistress, updating my website, checking out Facebook and continuing with my studies. You only live once, so I enjoy a few nights out 
9. Evening – well, If I’m at the house of an evening I spend my time on here. The internet, without this, id be dead. 
Its my inspiration and motivation to continue doing what I’m doing.
10. What you love about your job /course – It lets me express myself, and sets me mini task’s just like the ones I’ve been set as a budding freelancer.
11. What you hate about your job /student life – Waking up, lets be honest, nobody likes waking up in the mornings knowing you have a full day ahead of you, probably containing research or some sort of organisation of paper work.
To take part in – A day in the life, please read this post

Best of luck with the career Tom. As the owner of a Graphic Design & Print Company in York may I give a little advice? No matter how artistic or creative a job, if you incorrectly spell “their” “there”, you may as well have stayed in bed! Ha Ha Ha!
Keep up the good work!

Hello Tom,
Nice and clean post
What do you study ?? Other than designing what are your other hobbies ??

Great post. I always find the “day in the Life of..” an interesting read. It is interesting to see how peoples day mirrors or doesn’t mirror my own work life and day.
I agree that all of us hate to wake up early in the morning for it is the most favorite time to sleep especially during the cold winter. Well, that is a sacrifice for Tom. Graphic design is a good job so keep it up! There are lot of online opportunity out there for your career!
aaahhh the life of a student, I remember those days with a bit of nostalgia
I’m starting with my studies again from October.
Gosh, i just got reminded what is waiting for me!
Btw, nice post. Just checked out you site, you got sime nice things there.

Hi Tom,
I like the cheeky little post, of “a day in the life of…..” but it would be nice to post some of your pieces of work and go into more depth about them.
Just think, one day you could become a freelancer … get up at some sinful hour like 9am or worse (cough).
… then oops, end up having to work into the evening (whilst whining about it to your friends on Facebook) because you got to your office so late. I’ll never learn
Hi Amanda – Know the feeling, been there done that
and then maybe get a bit distracted by twitter or some other cool sites
