Studio Newwork








http://www.studionewwork.com/#


Editorial Design studio with really modern and experimental layout. I really want to get into editorial design. However, I dont feel like I have enough editorial design in my portfolio.

I feel like i've learnt quite a lot about type and layout in the the type session with graham but I have produced work to show off my leanrt skills yet.

This is what I am hoping to do in the third year

Dear Charlotte,


Thank you very much for you reply and I would absolutely love apply to your internship programme. However, the programme runs right through term time and I am at the art college 5 days a week. Do you have any other internship programmes that are during the summer holiday or any other holidays, perhaps 2012?


Again, I really appreciate you getting back to me and I know how busy you must but I would be really grateful if you could spare a few minutes and give me a quick feedback on the PDF I sent you? A fresh set of eyes would be really helpful to my further personal and professional development.


Kind Regards


Sai
