DESIGN STUDIO - gibson & holt

i get many requests from students and graduates wanting to break into the world of freelance design, so i thought it would also be good to post about some of the agencies that are looking for designers. starting with gibson & holt who specialise in the development of greetings and giftware. since it was established they have worked with freelancers here in the UK and the states marketing their design work. mainly in everyday cards, wrap and christmas cards. they regularly send design work to their contacts in industry for consideration on new products and ranges. they also work with designers to create exciting new ideas which are included on a cd portfolio which can be requested at their site. so far they have had work produced and sold for whsmith, paperchase, and woolworths amongst others. gibson & holt are also always looking for designers who may want to join the portfolio or clients who may want to view their collection.
