- CONSTRUCT

Unit 7 Compton Court Yard
40 Compton Street
London EC1V 0BD
Telephone 0207 253 8740
International +44 207 253 8740
constructlondon.com
info@constructlondon.com

Construct is a design studio based in London. They label themselves as a 'design boutique' due to there small size, but high end cliental. There work is very clean and simple, but at the same time beautiful, luxurious and innovative. I sometimes over complicate my work and would love to achieve this simplistic but very effective working style.

- I LIKE BIRDS

I like birds is a design studio who take pleasure in using a variety of medias, this is something I enjoy doing, I like the experiment with different medias and outcomes even if they do not work, or are not achievable in the real world I feel that it is good to be as creative as possible (but also keeping it relevant to the brief) whilst we have the chance to be.

- ILL STUDIO

Paris

hello@ill-studio.com

www.ill-studio.com

 

ill-studio is a multidisciplinary studio filled with many different talents, I find this set up of a studio very interesting, the breth and versatility of the the portfolio is very impressive. They have the ability to go from beautifully simple branding to creating their own elaborate type faces, to layout, to crazy installations. With so much talent the world is their oyster and every project outcome fresh and exciting.

- HEYDAYS

Hey­days AS

Vibes gate 17
0356 Oslo
Norway

(+47) 905 19 260
studio@heydays.no

 

Branding and Identity is something that I find very appealing, I love seeing a brand applied across a range of products to make everything work in unison in a very aesthetically pleasing way. Heydays creates some lovely looking branding simple but very cleaver, this is a way i would like to work.

- CATALOGUE

Post: Unit 2
Aire Street Workshops
30-34 Aire Street
Leeds
LS1 4HT  

Catalogue is a studio I have so much respect and admiration for. They produce solid beautiful graphic design, but also have much more to offer as a studio. They are independent publishers, screen printers, run a bi-annual design magazine, curate exhibitions. I really like this mentality that you don't have to be restricted to just being a graphic design studio, you can build on it and make your studio into as anything you want it to be. 

 - other studios I would include are

- A PRINT STUDIO

I really enjoy screen printing and would also find it very interesting and beneficial to find a print studio


TASK 2

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

I'm not sure where I am right now in terms of what kind of practice I would like to work in, I know I enjoy working in a range of medias and experimenting with my design work where it is a appropriate, but I also like simplistic design. I enjoy design that has meaning and is cleaver and evokes something in you. I would also want to work in a studio that isn't afraid to have fun. I really love the way catalogue has so much going on, and include all the things I enjoy like screen printing, zines/book publishing, design for print etc they have a good mixture of work for clients and also personal work, this is ideally how I would want to have a studio. 


TASK 3

Is your choice based on: Location, Direction of  Practice, The Brand Philosophy, The Clint Base?


TASK 4

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


TASK 5

WHY you are contacting them and why they should listen?
