dr.me
-Manchester
DR.ME is made up of Ryan Doyle (DR) and Mark Edwards (ME), The pair studied together at Manchester School of Art & Design where they were paired together on the first day due to alphabetical serendipity. Upon leaving university the pair went and worked for a period in New York before returning in 2010 to open the studio. Alongside creating record sleeves for record labels including Tri Angle Records, Young Turks and Memphis Industries, poster art for The xx, MIDI Festival and YoungArts Miami the studio also spent a year creating a collage a day in their 365 Days of Collage project which led to the ‘Choice Cuts’ exhibition at Home and the studio being asked to author a book on the use of collage in design entitled ‘Cut That Out. There work with collage and traditional print is a path I want to go down, being able to apply my skills on a professional level would be both incredible and elevate my practice hugely.

Craig Oldham is the Author of In Loving Memory of work, a book about the fight of the coal miners during the strikes in the 1980s, a piece of design which I have admired and referenced within many of my briefs over the time spent at uni.

print project
-West Yorkshire
Having met and interview Nick Loram or the print project, in Shipley last year, I wanted to discuss deeper how he started his own print room and how he has funded his work. Knowing already he works alone in a small studio, I knew potential internships would be not available, but I knew Nick would have valuable advice for me.
Magpie Studio
-London
Magpie is a design studio which focuses on big ideas and conviction, working on large projects, which often have a bright theme, I feel this would be another very influential place to visit and possibly intern at.
