Capturing the attention of a design studio is a challenge—and it’s supposed to be. Every year a plethora of new graduate designers enter the industry, all with the next chapter on their mind, making the task of getting yourself out there a daunting one. I spoke to like minded junior designers at design studios about what advice they would give to emerging creatives wanting to get noticed. Here are a few tips to help you make a lasting impression.
Finding a studio you will fit into is a project in itself, so set time aside to really study your options. Contemplate the size of a studio, the work they produce and the opportunities that they offer, as all these factors will make a huge impact further along in the process. Learn about your favourite studios, digest their website, find them on social media and then give them a call (consider calling before sending an email to help put you on their radar.)
