My Email -
To True North
I'm a Graphic Design degree student in my second year, and I'm really interested in going into this area when I leave University. I was looking through many design companies websites and I came across yours. I found myself on it quite some time checking out your recent work, and I really liked your ideas and visuals. I was just wondering if you could answer some questions when you've got the time just so I have a bit more of an idea what to expect from the design industry for when I leave University.
1) What are you looking for in particular when browsing through portfolios?
2) What are you looking for in particular within the person that is showing you their portfolio?
3) How many people work for your company? Is it quite big or small?
4) Do you take on people for works experience placements or would you prefer people who come to you who have already had a placement?
5) 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

Great Ideas, ability to rationalise your work.
2) What are you looking for in particular within the person that is showing you their work?
As above. I want to see a personality and a point of view or opinion.
3) How many people work for your company? Is it quite big or small?
Medium sized - about 16 people.
4) Do you take on people for works experience placements or would you prefer people to come to you who have already had a placement?
We do take on people with placements.
5) 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?

Bit of both. Depends on the time and the project.
