They work mainly in the service, art, culture, fashion, editorial and sport domains—with big clients, with small clients.
This studio would be perfect for me as i am extremely interesting in image making and like to edge towards fashion and retail, their studio looks pretty cool and has a small kitchen which is ideal for saving money on food expenses. I would love to work in the norther quarter as it is probably the most creative are in manchester, filled with quirky vintage stores and craft stores which is right up my street, this is also good for keeping inspired with visual ideas! There are also graphic fairs nearby which i often attend, i think working in an arty area is very important, i also live in greater manchester so it is easily accessible for me to travel to, great location near the station.

Work includes creating thought-provoking print designs, developing award-winning web sites, managing and implementing multichannel ad campaigns.

I really like the look of this studio, the open white space is very refreshing, bright and spacious. I like the look of the blank canvas walls and how one of the designers is writing ideas on them. Again the location is great as i want to work in and around manchester area, near to home. Again there is kitchen facilities which is a bonus, i think the layout of the studio is an important thing when in a working environment, the open door balcony look really nice, the studio looks very homelike.
