Studio: Founded, London

Studio; Equator, Sidney

I came accross a design that I found on LovelyPackage, and turns out this is the company who did the branding and packaging design for PUKKA pies (Australian Pie Brand) and one that I have been researching for my pie packaging brief.

Design Studio - Blue Marlin, Fulham

This is a studio I have just come across from looking at work on LovelyPackage, they have 4 offices in different countries (Sydney is one of them - if I ended up going travelling to Australia and getting an internship it may be quite useful to get in contact.) From the images it looks like they have quite a large studio but reading their website, I love their ethos...

"We’re like a big family, rather than a big impersonal agency.
We're small enough to really know each other – an integrated team working together towards a single, unwavering goal: landing big ideas.
Our intimate size also means we get on personally with clients, wherever they are in the world.
We delight our clients with our creativity, commercial nous, cultural awareness and round-the-clock resourcefulness."




Other Studios that I aim / want to get in touch with by the time I leave

I have compiled a list and saved a range of work from each of the studios that I am interested in and have been inspired by  (all in London). When I have made a bit more progress with some of my FMP work and I have more dates set for the other internships in London then my plan is to get in contact with them and see about internships. My aim for the time after I leave is to work in London doing a range of internships, however short or long, just so I can build up my CV, learn as much as I can from as many different studios, and to experience working in different environments. I then plan to go away to South America (free lancing wherever I go) for a few months and see some of the world and then come back and try to find a job back in London.

One of the ways at the moment that I look for new studios to get in contact with is through http://lovelypackage.com/ as there is always a link and location to the studio / company who designs the packaging...if I really like a design I normally look into the other work that the studio does. Even if the studio isn't in England / London I find it interesting to see how studios from different countries vary in design and style.

Here are a list of studios that I will be contacting / chasing up;

(Phil Cleaver from Et-Al used to work with the guy who set up this studio so I currently trying to find the best way / address to contact him through.)

Studio Contact: Turner Duckworth


Over the Easter I had a studio visit over the day that Tuner Duckworth were doing a speech at the Cheltenham Design Festival but I hoped that I would be able to go to the studio while I was in London. Unfortunately I never heard back from them, but like Parker Williams, they are right next to Barlow and Doherty (on Barley Mow Passage) so I hope to be able to get the chance to go and see them, it may be more beneficial to wait until my portfolio is finished before trying to get an Internship there!
