More Design Studios//Contacts//Potential Work Experience.

Beginning to research more design studios to add to my existing contact list for potential work experience and industry placements in the new year- having sourced some really fantastic looking companies, which I feel I could fit well into, and/or could learn a lot from, aligned with my particular fields of interest 

within the wider design field.

Once I have worked on my re-branding design and produced an innovative and insightful portfolio of work (PDF?) to send to the studios, I will be in contact as soon as possible- looking for a work placement in the summer, or potentially even sooner in the Easter break.

Taxi Studio- heard a lot about them in the past, a very impressive and broad range of designs within their portfolio- and, if their website is anything to go by, (and I do, admittedly, judge a company by their website...) they look very fun, playful and innovative (love the "wheel of fortune- esque feature on the site). Also, an added bonus, their studio is in Bristol- somewhere I would definitely consider moving to after graduation- would be a great insight into working life in the city, and to see whether or not it would live up to my hopes and expectations.

A truly amazing website (the homepage is quite sensational)- I couldn't help but smile when I came across their design work. Fun, youthful (they boast about the average age of 25 and 50/50 split of male/females- a great place for me, getting on with both genders, and, of course, being a young student designer). Really good mix of design work in their design portfolio.
