JOHN TASK CREATIVE INDUSTRYS

1) Identify 5 Companies / Studios which you consider potentially synergetic to you personally. Write a short paragraph and reasons for each.

Impact 
www.impact-im.co.uk
I came across impact on a top design agency website. I really like the range of printed work they do for clients. They create beautiful brochures and brand identities. They believe in low printing costs but still manage to produce some exquisite work with the constraints. They have worked with many different clients each time creating something wonderful and unique.




The Partners
www.the-partners.com
I really like the work that The Partners are creating. They work in a range of different media coming up with some really creative solutions. Above is a clip of an installation they have done. This looks quite spectacular. The print work they do is to of a really high standard too, They use different and interesting techniques to create something new and unique when designing for clients.



Creative Spark
http://www.creativespark.co.uk/
Creative Spark in manchester cover many different areas of design, They look at print, web, animation and branding. It would be nice to work with this agency as it would allow me to experience something new. I also really like the work that is being produced here. Its all of a high quality a they use interesting printing techniques rather than just a bog standard digital print.

Elmwood
http://www.elmwood.com/
I think it would be interesting to work for elmwood as they are such a huge company, It would be beneficial to see hat it is like to work in this type of environment  They also work with some big companies which would be quite fun. 


Snask
http://snask.com/
As obvious as the choice is, thanks to John it would be great to work with snask. They are fun and exciting and different which is what matters in the design world. I think it would be one of the most enjoyable environments to work in. They excel in everything they do but keep things casual and humorous.

2) Identify the top choice and WHY you feel that they may have synergy with your practice now, or in the near future.

I would say that SNASK have to be the most fun people to work with. I think that they are one step ahead of the game and use interesting techniques and methods to design. They are very hands on which I like. They don't just stick to designing on the computer. I think nowadays people resort to macs too much. I would like to take into consideration some of the work they have created and try using there methods to produce work of my own.

3) Is your choice based on:

LOCATION 

DIRECTION OF PRACTICE 

THE BRAND PHILOSOPHY 

CLIENT BASE

4) What if none of those is your main reason for choosing to follow this organization, what is it specifically?

My choice is based on what they are about. They are fun and different, they seem down to earth and interesting characters  Their philosophy is also interesting they will only do work they wanna do and they will create it in unique ways. I think it could be quite interesting to work in Sweden too as this is somewhere I am yet to visit. Swedish design stands out from the rest of the world I feel. It would be nice to be a part of it.

5) When considering these practices:

Please CONSIDER WHO they are/who are you? 

WHY you are contacting them and why they should listen? 

WHAT do you want them to do next and what do you actually want. 

WHY they should get back to you?

6) Now you have identified initially these studios you feel synergy with. Please list 8 methods you could utilize to contact them.
