New Partner

After the poster feedback i really wasn't sure who i would like to work with i didn't expect the diversity of  people to comment on my posters. I had Max approach me asking if i would like to work with him. Max is someones work which i like and he is very committed to the course pushing out a high standard of work. I feel we could make a strong partnership and am very pleased with max as a partner as i feel our skills will compliment each other. 

We then filled out a contract without communicating. 

Why have you chosen to work with your creative partner? What are your aims?
Max has a similar design style to me but we have different methods of working. such as i am very much someone who has a bunch of ideas and make is someone who perfects and develops his initial one. 
He is very committed and work tremendously hard. 
Good software knowledge. Mainly on illustrator while i am more photoshop based. 
He is very technical with his type skills compared to the decorative style which i carry.
