Studios and Idea

As part of my PPP I have decided to to apply to a few branding studios for work experience. Studios I have looked at are Elmwood who have studios both in leeds and London, Thompson Brand Partner and also The Beautiful Meme. I have only just researched into these studios but will speak to my tutor about maybe sending something in at a later date. For It I have created a portfolio zine which will bare my personal Identity which links into both my personal interests and my new adventure as a graphic designer. This then folds out into a cv then to a a3 sheet with a project I created myself called 30 minute branding. What I do here is Brand or rebrand something within 30 minute. So far I have done around 4 and aim to do more as the weeks go by. Eventually leaving me with 8 nice final designs for the page. Along with this page I will create a publication with every of the process for each brand.

The Beautiful Meme is a London based studio which specialise within branding. I did also find information stating they was a York based studio but I think it may now be London. London based studio would be much more suited to me over summer as I live in south east London. They Have worked with some big  clients such as V&A, Google, Design Museum plus many more. They was also Awarded Best Small Agency Brand at the 2015 UK Agency Awards. I understand a place such as this may be difficult to find work experience in however I feel I have created my self branding to be versatile enough that It can be adapted to apply for a range of other places also. Something which attracted me to the beautiful meme was there identity for the line, We touched on this within our way finding project i found it really inspiring due to the cleverness of it. It excited me when an identity fits so well. I just love the fact it can be used as a map. Other studios which I looked at and will also send my portfolio zine off to would Elwood who have studios both in Leeds and London, Thompson Brand Partner.
