OUGD602: Placement at Two Times Elliott

For 2 weeks I've worked at Two Times Elliott, based in Royal Oak, London. 


Unlike a high number of studios in London (like Magpie, the studio I did my last placement at), Two Times Elliott is not based in Shoreditch or even in East London. Being from North West London, this made my commute much easiser. 

The studio is part of Great Western Studios, which is composed of lots of small studios. This works really well to create a clustered creative community, across a range of creative disciplines. In the two weeks I worked here, I got to meet a huge number of people working in different creative fields. There is also a huge opportunity for collaborations. 


This is literally the sizes of the studio. Only four people work there: James (the creative director), Magnus, Matt and Laura (all designers). Everyone was young and extremely friendly. I was involved as much as they were with all of the projects.

Conclusion

I absolutely LOVED my time working here.  Although the placement was unpaid, I was so happy I worked here. I couldn't have felt more welcome or more involved. I will definitely keep in contact with everyone and would really like to secure a place there in the future for something more permanent. 

Before then, I would like to look into working at more studios I like, maybe even somewhere abroad before settling down somewhere.
