Visit / job interview
The studio visit to Rabbit Hole kind of came out of the blue, as it wasn't me who approached them (which is quite exciting) I follow the studio that is based in Duke studio's on twitter and saw that they were advertising for a junior design job, however I didn't apply due to my commitments to my studies. Regardless Tim Dee, the creative director or Rabbit Hole emailed via my Behance account inviting me to the studio for a chat about possible opportunities.

The interview went quite well. However due to being interviewed out of the blue I was quite unprepared which in hindsight looked bad on my part. I had no printed portfolio or business card to show so I was interviewed over an iPad - browsing my Behance Page.
This was not a great experience as I had no control over the iPad, therefore I could not show off my work in any running order or more importantly my best work. What I mean by this is that my Behance page still hosts a few old projects of mine, dating back to first year. Work that you don't want a potential employer to see.
Apart from being out of control of how my work was displayed, I felt that I answered their questions pretty well and articulated my views on design / own work to a good standard. I also highlighted that I often go to Duke Studio events as well as exhibitions down in the gallery. Including this I often see the guys from Rabbit Hole at local gigs I go to so I made it clear that I could fit into their studio environment.
The only criticism I can recall is them discussing a few typeface choices (again annoyingly old work)
They said that there was a pieces that lack concept as they expect concept driven design at Rabbit Hole.
The City Talking
The City Talking is a network of more than 60000 young people sharing news and views about life in Leeds; online, on mobile and in print.
As well as coming up with their identity, we design and manage the print side in the form of a free monthly feature-led newspaper. Each issue centers on a different theme and, although still in it's infancy, The City Talking has made a real impact in the city of Leeds.

Studio visit
The studio visit went very well. There was a friendly atmosphere within the hustle bustle of Duke Studios. During my visit, I was taken into the board room which to put it simply was a job interview for the position that was being advertised.
