Contacting Studios: Fieldwork

I discovered Fieldwork on Instagram as they came up as a suggestion of people to follow whilst I was looking at studios in Manchester. I really liked the work I saw on Instagram so explored their website to find out more about them and their work (see figures 1-4). I felt their studio values made them very approachable due to their focus on improvement and collaboration, making the studio seem more welcoming and friendly than other studios with a more corporate driven approach to their website (see figure 1).  Upon looking at their work I was particularly fond of their brand identity for Voltalab due to the simplicity backed by a strong concept (see figures 2-4). I used this project as a talking point within my email as I wanted to learn more about the project and enquire about work experience (see figure 5). No reply was received which on reflection could be due to the short nature of the email. I wanted to keep the email short and have a clear ask (work experience) however more information about myself, skills and personality could have been added to show the research I had put in. The short nature of the email makes it appear rushed which is something I hadn't considered at the time. Therefore in future I need to elaborate more to show my interest, but referencing certain details rather than just the project name.
