The industry overviewLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took

a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like

Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Where to start How to get work experience

“If I thought that about 18 months ago, I would of had work experience from London, Berlin and Tokyo under my belt along with experience in working freelance with companies like Don’t Panic, I probably would of told you to leave the room.

But that’s what has happened...”

The Banksy vs Bristol exhibition at Bristol City Museum


My name is Paul Jenkins and I’m now a final year graphic design student at the London College of Communication.

Admittedly my experiences on how to get work experience came as part of a dedicated year out of my course, but that’s not to say it should be any different for all of you.

I eventually interned with Print Club, Not Actual Size, Pentagram Berlin, Cunning, THIS IS Studio,

Wieden+Kennedy and freelanced with Turnfront, Don’t Panic and the lovely guys from Trashed.

Be ambitiousI thought London, then I thought Tokyo. (Most) companies want to help students and young creatives learn and gain experience, yes even the one’s you read about when you first picked up Creative Review, so repay the favour by being polite when applying, remembering names of contacts (and this means spelling their names correctly and remembering if they

are a male or female (yes I know a few people that has happened to).

When you apply, think about how you can be different from all others that are applying. Are you so enthusiastic that you would make cups of tea even when it is the weekend (not that this is actually happens) or do you have talent that the companies NEED to know about? Stay modest, but also be confident – this really goes a long way as you undertake more and more work experience and eventually a job.

Work HardIf you show that extra little bit of initiative when your applying and/or at your placement, it really shows your fellow workers that you’re something special. Ask questions, people don’t expect you to know everything, but when you start sending the studio a link of your favourite blog which no-one else knows about it, you’ll get a little extra piece of recognition. If you’re invited for interviews/portfolio crits, be ON TIME.

Be PersistantIt took me 13 months just to arrange a crit with a designer because I was so excited to speak to them/company. If someone doesn’t email you back, it’s probably because of the previous point, so follow it up, call them, send stuff in the post but don’t become a nag – everyone hates that. Similiarly

don’t let things slide, if someone has said no, ask to come in for a chat and follow up with the conversation.

Stay true to yourselfThere’s no point being in an advertising agency that works for Camel cigarettes if you want to save the world with an ethical web company. Make sure you take an interest and apply to places in that you’d give anything to go to, not just the name, because when someone asks you how was “insert amazing company name here” because you have it on you CV, and you say “errrr” – you probably will be slightly embarrassed.

Mastering PhotoshopSecret Tricks and Time-Savers

Suddenly, this simple shortcut has streamlined our process and shaved quite a bit of time off our day. Collected here are some lesser known but extremely useful shortcuts. Many of these are not documented in the “Keyboard Shortcuts” menu, and some of them don’t even have equivalent menu options.

Please note that all of the shortcuts listed below assume that you are using Photoshop CS4 on OS X. They will work on the Windows platform by converting as follows: Command to Control and Option to Alt.

LayersSifting through nests of layer sets to find the layer you need quickly becomes tiresome. Luckily, there are a number of ways to select layers more intuitively. Using the Move tool (V), you can Command + click on the canvas to select the uppermost layer with pixel data located directly below the mouse. If your layers are grouped within layer sets, this action may have selected the entire folder.

Changing auto-select behaviorThere will be times when you want to select a layer that is located below a number of other layers. By right-clicking with the Move tool, you’ll bring up a

contextual menu containing a list of all layers located below the cursor. your layers are properly named, you should be able to quickly select the layer you need. By holding Shift while using either of the selection methods above, you can select multiple layers. After selecting multiple layers, you can link the layers together by right-clicking and selecting Link Layers.

We all have shortcuts that are essential to our daily workflow. A majority of them are staples such as Copy (Command + C) and Paste (Command + V), but occasionally we stumble upon a shortcut we wish we’d learned years ago.

About TrashedWhat we do

We put teenagers (13-19 year olds) in direct contact with working professionals in the creative industries, giving them invaluable vocational experience and helping them to produce high-quality creative work that they can use for future college, university and job applications.

We achieve this through our online platform, through live workshops, and through a range of one-off projects.

The creative industries are a growing sector of the economy in the UK, and include the media, advertising, architecture, crafts, design, fashion, film and video, music, performing arts, publishing, TV, radio and computer game design.

Trashed web platformIn the Members section of our website we host a constantly updated bank of resources relating to the creative industries. The key elements are:

CommissionsThese are creative projects that students can complete. They could be anything from creating a street art photo gallery to writing an investigative report, or reviewing a book to compiling a trend report. All the commissions are set by working professionals. Students submit their work, and get feedback on it, and then the final edited work is promoted on the website. Students can use their pieces as an online ‘cuttings’ portfolio for future college, university or job applications.

How To’sThese are there to help the students complete the Commissions, and to give them skills that they can use

on other projects in school or in their own time. The How To’s are produced by working professionals, and cover everything from uploading video to the web and design tips, to research and writing skills.

Exclusive creative challengesThrough our network of contacts in the creative industries we can source exclusive interviews (with from top music performers, politicians, sporting figures and more), opportunities to meet and work with professionals, and other one-off experiences.

Careers profilesWe have an expanding bank of profiles of working creative professionals, written by themselves. These range from journalists and designers, to promoters and entrepreneurs. They give teenagers an invaluable insight into the jobs that are available in the creative industries.
