MAY NINTH | NORTHER QUARTER | MANCHESTER



MAY NINTH | NORTHER QUARTER | MANCHESTER 


May ninth is a creatively led multidisciplinary design outfit based in the Northern Quarter, Manchester. their specialities include; graphic and web design, art direction, typography, image–making, photography and moving image. They work mainly in the service, art, culture, fashion, editorial and sport domains—with big clients, with small clients. 


This studio would be perfect for me as i am extremely interesting in image making and like to edge towards fashion and retail, their studio looks pretty cool and has a small kitchen which is ideal for saving money on food expenses. I would love to work in the norther quarter as it is probably the most creative are in manchester, filled with quirky vintage stores and craft stores which is right up my street, this is also good for keeping inspired with visual ideas! There are also graphic fairs nearby which i often attend, i think working in an arty area is very important, i also live in greater manchester so it is easily accessible for me to travel to, great location near the station.








RAW | SALFORD | MANCHESTER 

Based in Salford, Raw Design Studio’s purpose is to create and design ambitious and effective ideas that are used to engage people and communicate a client’s message. Work includes creating thought-provoking print designs, developing award-winning web sites, managing and implementing multichannel ad campaigns. Established in 2006, current clients include Liverpool Football Club, the NHS and Greater Manchester Police.

I really like the look of this studio, the open white space is very refreshing, bright and spacious. I like the look of the blank canvas walls and how one of the designers is writing ideas on them. Again the location is great as i want to work in and around manchester area, near to home. Again there is kitchen facilities which is a bonus, i think the layout of the studio is an important thing when in a working environment, the open door balcony look really nice, the studio looks very homelike. 










NANCY PARKER | LONDON 

Although i would like to stay close to home, if i had an opportunity to work for someone like this i would travel...

extensive global customer base.

concepts produced on luxurious fabrics for a fashion forward market.
They have a highly skilled team of 18 artists include alumni from a variety of esteemed

I find this company so interesting and exciting as their sales team is constantly travelling the world and exhibiting at Premier Vision in Paris twice a year and Direction in New York three times a year!!!


This is the perfect studio for me to apply for as they travel, incorporate fashion, textile patterns to elements of design, Once i have a more specific identity branding i will be contacting Nancy straight away...

I think the studio that would be most appropriate to my practise at the moment would have to be may ninth, my design is very image and print based and this studio is driven by this. Looking at their existing work, i think my style of design fits in with the studio well. 

Their client base is also something that would benefit me as they design for the fashion and art industries. 
Editotial is another area in which i want to work and this studio also

Bunting

 I made lots and lots of bunting to go all over the house for my 21st birthday party.
As i am a 90's baby i decided to use lots of different 90's Typefaces, mostly inspired by films from my childhood.






Here are a little bit of research into the fonts used in films...
