When myself and Stacey Weldon went on a mission to call into Design Agencies in Manchester we called into Dinosaur studios, we both loved the uplifting vibe of the studio and were given contact details by a member of the design team to enquire about portfolio visits and placements.
We recently contacted Dinosaur to ask about a portfolio visit, sadly we haven't received a reply but we will continue to contact them, I think it would be good to use a different form of contact, taking on board what Sarah Jones advised us about using your approach to agencies to promote your creativity. Agencies such as Dinosaur probably receive numerous emails from students all asking for the same thing, which is something Chris Conlan, managing director of Love spoke about during his lecture at Design Symposium North last year. He also advised how important it was to promote yourself as a brand including the methods in which you approach designers asking for portfolio visits and placements. This advice has encouraged me to think about my own style of design and how I can promote this in a positive and unique way.
