Our initial intentions and research.

After sitting down with the majority of my group this week, we have decided the best tactic to take with working in a collaboration was to assign ourselves initial research tasks, each focusing on a different area of our design focus's.

We have set deadlines for each other and requested that each must do the work for a certain day / hour, this already has greatly improved my motivation instantly.

Branding and Identity.

This is the area I am researching at this point, we have decided that we should all find a miniumum of 4 design studios that specialise in our chosen area. we then need to contact them all asking about there costings and charges.

Below is the standard template of email that we all are using.

'Hello .....

My name is Mikey Scott and I am currently studying Graphic design (second year) at Leeds college of art

Basically we have been set a new group brief at college, we have to construct a business plan or business proposal for a creative design studio.

In this brief we have to look into what services we would provide and have decided to look into promotional campaign, packaging and publication, photography and film etc. We are also looking into branding & identity and this is where I thought you could possibly help us out?

All we would like to know is whether you have a general price list or is it a more of a specialised decision? If you do have a price list, could you possibly send us an example of what you charge and for what? This is purely a college brief and non of the information you send would be used in the commercial environment. This is purely a research task so we can get an idea of costings in different areas of design.

Thankyou very much for your time and your help, I will look forward to hearing from you soon

Thanks again

Mikey Scott'
