This task gave us the opportunity to consider networking within a professional environment bur for this task our course. This also helped to consider questions to ask existing design studio's or practitioner's I may choose to research. The questions also offered insight into designer's we perhaps may not have heard of if we hadn't been given the reference by our 'date.' This can include editorial design account Draw Down Books, an illustration designer Gemma Correll and a print company called Paper and Print.
