Our intern programme is committed to providing Graphic Design students, usually in their second year of further education, with hands-on experience to help them become better students, and ultimately, better designers.

We typically employ interns for a short period of three-to-four weeks. Interested students should contact Kate at kate@turnerduckworth.co.uk with at least three work samples in PDF format.

We employ interns year-round and pay £120 weekly to help offset some living expenses. Please note that our programme does not consider students still at school.

Dear Moira Riddell

The reason for contacting you was for seeking with some research within my degree.

I am currently studying BA Graphic Design at Leeds College of Art, and within my second year, I would like to prepare myself for after I finish my third year. At the minute I am not sure what kind of designer I would like to be or which specific of design to work in.

I have been researching different directions of design and companies I like the work of. Turner Duckworth being a company which I particularly appreciate for innovative and exciting work. I'm especially interested in packaging design, type & image. I think the clarity contained in your designs make the products communication with the consumer instantaneous, using simple, effective ways to communicate the message. This has obviously been noticed by leading award boards such as D&AD and Design Week.

I appreciate that your extremely busy with work at the minute but I was wondering if you could possibly have a look at the attached PDF of a few pieces of design work I have produced just to get professional feedback as this would immensely help me progress my work further. Or if not would it be at all possible to visit and a chat within your studio to help me determine which area I would like to move my work forward.

Thank-you for your time

Kind regards

I have been researching different directions of design and companies I like the work of. Studio 8 being a company which I appreciate for innovative and exciting work. I'm especially fond about the Angaza Africa book produced, as the layout, type and image, which communicates clearly Africa's finest creative contemporary artists. The publication is visually appealing and so are many other publications Studio 8 has produced. This appeals to me as I enjoy layout, type & image and I'm wanting to find out more about how studios handle such briefs and clients through initial ideas, to development to producing the final resolution.

I appreciate that your extremely busy with work at the minute but I was wondering if you could possibly have a look at the attached PDF with a few pieces of design work I have produced just to get Industrial feedback as this would immensely help me progress my work further.

I am currently studying BA Graphic Design at Leeds College of Art, and within my second year I would like to prepare myself for after I finish my third year. At the minute I am not sure what kind of designer I would like to be or which field of design to work in.

I have been researching different directions of design and companies I like the work of. Form being a company which I appreciate for innovative and exciting work. I'm especially fond on the new marketing and promotional goods for Virgin Galactic. The statement of "commercial space flight is no longer a dream, but a reality", shines through the packaging and concept of using foil blocking to highlight the point of the space DNA has finally arrived. Also I like the variations of different solutions Form produces, not just printed outcomes but also variations of different medias used to communicate ideas for your clients.

Email - Bit of Research

Tips for Email Job Applications

Proofread your email for grammar and spelling (do not trust spell check software). Remember, this is your chance to make a critical first impression; even an emailed note needs to be professional and error-free.

Be brief and to the point. Your cover letter should not be any longer than two or three short paragraphs.

Make sure you include a signature with your full name, email address and phone number.

Include the title of the position you are applying for in the subject line of your message.

Be sure that your email address has a professional tone.

If the job posting asks you to send an attachment, send your resume as an MSWord or PDF document. Many employers do not accept attachments. In these cases, paste your resume into your email message. Use a simple font and remove the fancy formatting. Send the message to yourself first to test that the formatting works. If everything looks good, resend to the employer.

Images For PDF

So far there are four images I would use for a pdf to be attached to an email. Obviously I would need to edit them and lay them out.




Maybe at dinner I should pop home and take some photos of my packaging and leeds guide.

A few notes made for Enterprise

Companies

What areas would I like to use these skills in? (Some subject that I enjoy)

-Music Industry
Form, London - All areas of design including music goods.






Also Studio Output, which produces work in all areas of deisgn including music, for this company it would be something like the promotional side or art direction I would like to gain industrial experience with. Also based in Nottingham as well as London.






-Would I need to work for a design company or be part of a design team within a company?




-Clothing (UK)

Bench, should be able to get a placement here. I would like to work with the promotional team and general design team other than the fashion products, shirts ect.



-Magazine - young audience




-Also a few days at a television production team

Evaluating placements

Over the last few weeks I have been looking at design companies I'd like to do a placement with. After the weekend I have thought what kind of job I would like to/ enjoy working as for when I finish university. I think the the area of design I work in is so important to me so I enjoy the place and have fun with what I'm producing. Below are a few different areas I think I would enjoy and have fun producing work for;

-Some company/design studio which basis it's design on promotional goods / concepts.
-I also enjoy having fun with branding, just general design for companies
-I would also like to work with art directors for the experience of learning how they produce a concept and how the idea is then produced by other designers in the team. Concepts are something I enjoy thinking about, creating something original. If I had the chance to send off some work to apply for a placement I have the Warp brief and other conceptual designs that may be shown as a PDF

So the main areas for me are promotional, branding and conceptual idea generations.

What areas would I like to use these skills in? (Some subject that I enjoy)
-Music Industry
-Would I need to work for a design company or be part of a design team within a company?
-Clothing
-Magazine - young audience
-Also a few days at a television production team

I can now look for design aspect within these areas.
