WHAT IS A CREATIVE CV TASK 1 - IDENTIFY 10 COMPANIES I WANT TO CONTACT

LOVE - Manchester




Love Creative in Manchester looks like a really fun place to work, they are tackling some pretty big branding projects and tend to stray away from just printed branding. They transform brands and bring them to life, helping them find the most interesting things to say to their customers in the most interesting ways. They collaborate with lots of people which will be a really great chance to network and speak to people from different creative fields. They come up with some really creative promotion ideas, the above screen shot is for a dinosaur exhibition, the concepts and ideas for their projects are really interesting.

The Unit - Leeds




The Unit is another studio that interests me, its not too far away either so organizing a visit shouldn't be a problem. They work in a variety of formats and even cover print which would be nice to look into. They work with some pretty big brands too, I love the illustration style and concept behind the coke music posters above. I feel I have a similar iillustration and design style as this studio so it would be great to get a piece of the action.

Analogue - Leeds




I really like the look of analouge studio in Morley, this is also reasonably close and the work they are producing matches my interest and style in design. They are undertaking some nice briefs and producing them in a unique and eye catching manor. They do allot of branding too which I have become more interested over the course of the year it will be good experience to see how the industry compares to the course. This studio seems quite small which could be a nice environment to work in.

Duke Studios



Duke studios is another place that I would like to contact. They do allot of screen printing and laser cutting here which is an area of design I want to explore further. I am really interested in printed design and I feel working here would really help my practical skills and would also help to produce work to a professional standard. There are allot of different creatives within duke too which would be a good chance to network and meet other designers. Eventually it would be great to collaborate with other designers and this would be a good place to meet and greet.

Shotopop are a design studio in London, they create tacticle design from card and over materials, their work is crafted to the highest standard and the style of work is amazing. They produce some really amazing works of art, which are eyecatching and really imaginative. I would love the opportunity to work at shotopop, I feel it wwould be great for my crafting skills, as much as I like to craft I sometimes feel my work lacks that industry standard finish.
