HelloMe
HelloMe work with a broad range of clients, and on their website is projects and information about them. It is refreshing to see such a broad range of medias that HelloMe work with, however ideally I would prefer a more focused and specialised studio, but as long as I would be working in an area that I was happy with, it would be brilliant. HelloMe have also established themselves well as they have worked with large companies in the past such as H&M and Computer Arts.
"We consult and design identity & branding systems, communication strategies, bespoke typefaces, visual concepts, campaigns, magazines, books, catalogues, editorial projects, posters, music- & product packaging, websites and mobile applications, fashion, textiles, spacial installations, interiors, guidance systems and exhibitions.”
On the website it also claims that they do take internships, however these are only offered irregularly for certain periods of 3 to 6 months.
It's great to see work on their website that I have seen on Tumblr and Trendslist. Their work is very up my street and I'd love to end up working in a studio like this.
SLANG - Studio for graphic design
“SLANG was founded in 2000 in Berlin and is run by Nat Hamon and Florent Moglia. Our focus lies in contemporary art and cultural exchange. Being French and American while living in Berlin, we live and work in three languages. We draw on this tricultural perspective and our passion for art to inform our practice.”
I like that this studio focuses on contemporary art - it is important that I end up somewhere which highly concerns themselves with contemporary design. From their website I can see that they have produced identities, web design, advertising, alongside books and magazines. I would love to work with editorial design, therefore this is crucial to me, however I would be open to completing other tasks for clients, as I feel my skills are not only limited to editorial design.
AHOY
What strikes me as brilliant about AHOY is their ethos, “communication with a pleasant wake up call for everyone and everything seeking to make the world a nicer place”, which communicates a really friendly, fun vibe. They have worked on a lot of publications which as I’ve said previously is important to me, and also a vast range of other clients, and clearly are a well established studio.
Their work also concerns itself with a lot of social / environmental issues which is really interesting, as design has a lot of influence in these areas to create change.
NODE
“NODE is a Berlin- and Oslo-based design studio founded in 2003 by Anders Hofgaard and Serge Rompza. The studio works collaboratively across various media for a diverse range of clients from individuals to institutions, focusing on print, identity, exhibition and interactive work. Besides studio projects, NODE gives lectures and holds workshops at art & design academies…
…The distinct feature of the work done at NODE lies in its relational approach to graphic design. The graphic designers that make up NODE reflect a lot about the way they work. A number of colleagues see NODE as a conceptual design studio. However, NODE may also be seen as a strategic studio, seeking to relate to people in projects where design can happen.”
From looking at work on NODE’s showcase, I immediately fell in love. This type of design is especially suited to me, and I find it visually appealing.
NODE are also accepting internships for Summer/Autumn 2016, which could be an amazing opportunity, especially as I feel I could fit in within a studio like this.
