Even though the reply I got back from 'Like a River' was short and sweet, and didn't answer my questions, it was still a reply. So Im putting it in my blog!!
To Like a River
I'm currently in my second year of a Graphic design degree course at Stockport College, we have just finished a corporate identity project that involved creating and developing a logo then applying it through advertising and guerilla/ambient media etc. I have been looking at your website and I enjoyed looking through your work.
As the Graphic Design world is the area I would like to go into when I finish my degree, I was just wondering if you had some time to spare, you could answer a few questions, so I have a better idea what to expect from Design industries when I leave.
1) Do you look for something in particular when browsing through porfolios?
2) What are you looking for in particular within the person that is showing you their portfolio?
3) Do you take on people for works experience placements or would you prefer people who come to you who have already had a placement?
I'd also like to ask a question about tackling a brief, as sometimes I can sit for several torturous hours brainstorming and still not being able to crack the idea. How do you go about coming up with the idea that works? Do a group of you brainstorm together or do you go off individually then come back with what you all have and discuss it?
Thank you

Hi Katherine
Thanks for your enquiry.
Best bet is to liaise with Steve Jones as every now and then we arrange for a group to come in from Stockport and that seems to work out ok for everyone.
