Studios in Leeds

I have to take into account location when it comes to applying for placements and asking for a studio visit because of my lack of money over the summer. I intend to look around Leeds because I will be paying for the house over the summer and it would be silly not to make the effort. Below are some design studios in Leeds that I would be interested in contacting.

Analogue

Website :  www.madebyanalogue.co.uk

About :  We use design, we use digital, we use art direction, copywriting, and good old fashioned perspiration. We immerse ourselves in culture, taking inspiration from all aspects of life, always looking forward and striving for perfection…

There’s no set style to the way we work – no secret formula, no fancy graphs or charts, no brand onions or carrots or cauliflowers. Each creative idea requires its own mixture of innovative design, strategic thinking, head scratching, chin stroking and super strength coffee. Over the years we’ve collaborated with a wide range of clients, each one with their own unique personalities and individual requirements, but the results have always been the same: We help brands stand out from the ordinary. We help them become extraordinary.

About :  UNIT is a diverse graphic design practice based in Leeds LS1 & LS13 founded by Si Billam in 2010. Our work ranges from public art installations and global branding to local government, regeneration projects and music industry art direction. We have built a reputation for producing creative solutions that go beyond the traditional boundaries that graphic design is contained within. Although still in our infancy, our work has already reached across the globe as far as the US and been featured in exhibitions in Europe — most recently at a fringe event to the famous SONAR festival in Barcelona.

Prior to establishing UNIT, Si was a former Senior designer with the world renowned ‘The Designers Republic’ based in Sheffield. His work ranged from rebranding MTV Italy (QOOB), creating global campaigns for Coca-Cola to projects with independent artists, record labels and architects. After his time at tDR he spent 3 years working as Senior Designer & Art Director at Leeds based Vast servicing clients within the arts, fashion, property and regeneration markets. Si’s work on the independent fashion magazine ‘Shufti®’ led to the publication winning both Gold & Silver prizes at the Graphis and SPD awards in New York 2009.
