Response from Design by Music
Paul hello.
Forgive my brief note as I am really busy but I hope it forms some sort of help for you.
—For a second year your books seems strong.
—There's a good mix of media and it feels nice and diverse.
—The Warp stuff feels like your strongest piece to me and so it's good that you kick off with that but the other stuff feels like it has more of a story to tell.
—Take more care when shooting your work and think about telling the story of what you did. Your work should be able to tell the story without you.
Again, sorry for the brief response, but I hope it is of some use at least.
Craig.

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 have been researching different directions of design and companies I like the work of. Music being a company which I appreciate for innovative and exciting work. I'm especially fond on the FlipFlops work, as it is so simple but effective and conceptually communicates the idea of Holiday Resorts. I also like the Manchester International Festival campaign, for the experimental use of type and image. Through the work shown within the online portfolio, I would say that you can see the designers having fun within designing and producing the outcomes as this shows through the work.

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.

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.
