Studio visit at Numiko

Since, the creative Milkround portfolio surgery a couple of weeks go I've been emailing Matthew from Numiko to arrange for a studio visit.

So, I went in on Friday for a studio visit which was really interesting.

http://numiko.com/

He just kind of showed me the studio and explained what kind of stuff they do etc. and even though a lot of their work was really digital and web based. I found it really really interesting and warmed more towards the idea of digital design

What I got out of it was the fact that if you get hired as a designer in a digital design company, you still just do you r thing and give all the technical stuff to the tech guys...

I found an ad on form fifty five about a possible placement at apetite.

Follow up email from Creative Milkround

I email both Matthew from Numiko and Adam from Two birds one stone yesterday to thank them for having a look through my portfolio and if I could potentially come in for a studio visit.

I mentioned to Adam  that I would like to get in contact with Magpie Studio for a possible placement opportunity as on their website they only have the  'info' address so I asked him if there someone I could contact directly.

I'm just waiting for their replies now

Creative Milkround

I attended Creative Milkround today which was really good.  It wasn't massively useful

ClearSilver


I spoke to two people from Clearsilver and they were positive about my portfolio.  I spoke to the designer who did an MA at the Leeds university and it was actually really helpful talking to her. I needed someone to tell me that its definitely a good idea. So, that was good



They actually gave me another really good advice to talk to the Leeds council about the Roundhay park Branding, this would be useful in terms of research and may be I could try and suggest a rebranding to them.


Numiko


Matthew from Numiko was really helpful as well. I just had a generally good chat with him and he also mentioned a potential for some work for the company as an illustrator and a graphic design.

although the company mostly deals with web and screen designs, they work with really interesting clients like channel 4 and the BBC and I think it would still be really interesting to see how the company is run and how can a graphic designer fit into a place like that



Magpie

they really liked the fact that I had considered the entire range of the brand and how the identity would be applied. their company is split into two- the PR company ( two birds one stone ) and the design company (magpie).

Magpie was really positive about my portfolio and they brought up the potential placement at Magpie so I'm planning on emailing them asap.

They actually asked me a lot about how I went about my portfolio and the
