Placements/Studio Visits

1) Grid Creative Manchester






I'd like to go for a studio visit at Grid Creative because its based in Manchester which is too far from leeds so travel wouldn't be an issue. Manchester is also somewhere i would consider working after leaving university if i had the opportunity. The work they put out is also in my favoured sectors of industry: Music, Photography and then some more high end industries like Property, Accountancy and Fashion. The work they do is very clear, simple and effective.

2) Filthy Media



Filthy media is based in Brighton which is kind of on the other side of the country but from all the design agencies i have come across this is what kind of industry i want to go into the most. Filthy Media has a lot of links with the music industry, the majority of which are artists i have seen live. The work their studio produces seems to be focused on Identity, Print, Type and music all the area's which interest me, especially type as image.

3) RAW Creative



Raw is based in Manchester which is just around the corner so ideal for a studio visit. I like that there is a good mix of work within the studio, the work which stood out to me most is the Photography based projects and the After effects. They also have a very simple clean style of design throughout all their projects, the only problem is they do a lot of football based briefs and i am not the biggest football fan. The photos of their actual studio are pretty amazing, i really like the environment and its somewhere i could see myself working.

5) Glorious Creative



Glorious creative is based in manchester and the work they produce is mainly editorial/layout and identity. They seem to design mainly for the Arts & Culture sector but there is a wide range of clients they have worked for.
The work which most interests me from this studio is their magazine layouts, I really like the way they approach their designs and layout, especially the style of photography and type they use.

6) Made by Six


This studio actually gets me excited about graphic design, the majority of their online portfolio shows a very large range of disciplines in their work, more specifically branding and Identity. What interest me most about this studio is their attention to detail even on presenting their work online, everything seems to fit really well and have a reason for being their, they even suggest how the design should be used. This graphic design studio communicates their work incredibly well.

9) Black & White Studio


Castleton Mill

Black and White studio has some really interesting work, from their online portfolio they show mainly editorial work which is very photography heavy. This aspect of photography and layout really attracts me to this studio, their use of type is also really well balanced. Another reason Black & White studio stands out to me is their client list which seems to be mainly within the architectural/property sector, they have also got a large partner list consisting of photographers. 

They are based within leeds so would be perfect for travel and accommodation.
