Due to the limited number of graphic design studios in Liverpool and Manchester, I started to look at studios based in Leeds. Build is a studio I have liked for a while after attending a talk they gave a few years ago. Therefore I decided to enquire about internships as they offer paid internships (see figure 1-2), I used information gained from the talk I attended within the email to give it a personal touch instead of referencing work which has been my approach previously. Furthermore I included more information about myself, explaining what areas of design I'm looking at within my practice and how that aligns with them. I felt my recent work aligned with them as I had just completed a gender-neutral skin brief which is something they had explored in recent work (see figures 3-4). The email was sent to their internship enquiry email as listed on their website, however I was concerned this wouldn't get seen so I used the basis of this email to guess at what Michael Place (creative director) email could have been (see figure 2). However despite this I didn't receive a response which I think is due to the popularity of the studio and the amount of students/enquires they get. Another approach such as sending something physical might have been a better approach in this situation as this is a less common form of communication.
