Contact Report - Reply to Questionnaire - Dave Sedgwick, 999 Design

Another response i have received from emailing a questionnaire out to graphic designers.

1.
Good ideas, well presented. No blutac, sellotape, scruffy corners, rubbed out pencil lines, bits of food, dirty finger marks. Basically, a portfolio of between 8 & 10 pieces of work (but one really good idea could do it!) well considered and printed and mounted and housed in something you actually feel proud of.

2.
Honesty, passion, enthusiasm, modesty, interesting and most of all someone who shows that they have enjoyed their time at university, but are willing to take the next step forward in employment.

3.
We take on placements throughout the year. But we try and be fair to everyone and so it’s often a first come first served basis. Sometimes people might have to wait months before a placement arrives. By that point they may be in employment already.

4.
Tough one. We tend to have an initial meeting where we all discuss the brief. Then we might go away and have a few days on our own, working around other work, then we will meet again and discuss our ideas. The Creative Director will usually decide the ones to push forward, but we all get a say. Only then when we’re all happy, do we finalise the presentation.


Again i am extremely grateful Dave had the time to email me back, as i know he is very busy at the moment.
