- Studio 8 is a really high end graphic design agency based in London who have many impressive awards and top clients to their name.
- They do a lot of work based around the areas of books/campaigns/guides/identities/magazines/posters and typefaces -- so essentially, a lot of print based stuff which is very attractive to me.
- Some of the clients on their list are really big names, but this isn't something that particularly appeals to me as I see myself working more for businesses within the creative industries and not-for-profit. But I suppose when looking for placement, you can't afford to be too fussy!

- Awesome Swedish graphic design company!
- They are a high-end studio producing work across a broad range of sectors within graphic design.
- Beautifully resolved work often using the simple building blocks of design - Shape/Colour/Type.
- I really wish they were based in the UK so that they could be one of the 10 companies I have to contact for PPD - or maybe I could still contact them? I'll have to enquire through John or Jane...
