Robot Food

This is one of the studios that appeals most to me in Leeds. A lot of food and drink related to design and it is just so engaging and exiting.

Analogue 

I have always admired Analogue's work. A lot of the stuff they do is for the food & drink industry which is something I am really interested in, and they also seem to be pretty big on illustration. I feel like I could bring something to the table in a studio like this.  The fact that one of the guys who runs the studio also runs the hang-gang - a 'visual culture outlet' which specialises in designer toys means I really want to go and have a chat with them.

Golden

Golden is a studio in Leeds I would really like to get in contact with. They seem to work for some really big clients but the main thing that attracts me to them is their multi-displinary approach towards design. I think it would be nice to work somewhere that produces work that doesn't involve sitting on a laptop 24/7.

Snask

Absolutely love Snask. They are quirky, weird  different, original, passionate and their work takes a very multidisciplinary approach. I think working somewhere like this would be amazing as it would mean you are learning about much more than just graphic design.

I watched this presentation they did on 'How to be a creative entrepreneur which I found really inspiring because they aren't trying to be like everyone else - they are doing what they want to do. As well as this the fact that they don't seem the slightest bit more professional than any of us when presenting was nice to know -

Fieldwork

Fieldwork looks like a pretty fun studio - quite small but dedicated to making and creating. They seem to have quite a playful and lighthearted approach towards projects.

Hype and Slippers/Gather'Round
Bristol

http://www.hypeandslippers.com

Bristol is a place I have been curious about visiting over the last year so I decided to look into its creative businesses. 

Hype & Slippers really stood out to me I think because of their quite lighthearted, simple and illustrative approach to design. Their work really fits in with the sort of stuff I like/try to create, and I feel like a small independent studio like this would be somewhere I would enjoy working.

Later returning to their website, I realised they have now completely rebranded themselves and kind of upped their game. They are now called 'Gather'Round'. 

I think this change may be down to the ever-growing demand from clients of 'strategy-based' creative businesses and 'branding' - people want something that can dig much deeper than trivial 'design' or 'decoration'. 

Although the company has changed slightly I still feel as though it is somewhere I would like to visit and find out more about.
