Placement Pack

A placement generally lasts for 2 weeks, however for some of our award-winners it will be a month.

Typically, on placement people will be set a brief based on the skills and strengths of their portfolio or directly from a winning collection/student project.

While on placement the work is reviewed regularly and the student encouraged to develop their work commercially whilst still retaining their identity.

Hello, I am a illustration student who will be coming back to Bradford for the summer and I was wondering if you do summer placements? If so how would I go around to applying for one. Thank you very much for reading this. From kirsty Gaughan

Hi, My name is Joanne Catlow and I am currently studying Graphic design at Leeds college of Art. As soon as I saw your blog I got rather excited as I realised you were based in Bradford. Of Course I understand the rush you probably have of students wanting placements but it really would be great to see how your studio works and what tigerprint gets up to on a daily basis. Even if it was just a day visit to see what happens there and to ask you a couple of questions regarding working within the design industry. Is this at all possible between June and September?
Thanks.
Joanne

Hello,

I was just wondering if the London office does any placements in design or packaging?

I would love to come to the Bradford studio, but I am unsure if it would be financially viable.

Thanks,

Keri

[Vic]

Hi Keri

Our London studio mainly focuses on character and license design but if you'd like to contact the Studio Manager Lee Keeper for more info: lkeepe1@hallmark-uk.com
We will be launching a new competition next week which is linked to packaging so do watch this space :-)

[Antony Gibson]

Dear Vic,

My name is Antony Gibson I am a first year mature student, studying BTEC Diploma in Graphic Design and Visual Communication at Bradford College of Art & Design.

My tutors suggested that because my work is of a higher standard It might be good for me to apply for a work placement at Tigerprint over the summer holidays which I was so enthusiastic about.

Which is the best way to send my work to you, for your consideration?

Yours Sincerely

Antony Gibson

[Vic]

Hi Antony

Many thanks for your inquiry.
Could you please drop me an email vlem2@hallmark-uk.com.
Please include links to work or jpeg examples where possible. I'll then circulate these amongst our Design Managers and we can check how we are fixed for availability over the summer.

Thanks

Vic

[Antony Gibson]

Hi Vic,

I have emailed you a link to my online portfolio.
