Task 1
Identify 5 companies/studios which you consider potentially synergetic
to you personally.
Write a short explanatory paragraph and reasons for each. 

Tigerprint Studio's

http://www.tigerprint.uk.com

I would quite like to work at the above as I like the style of design they generate which is quite illustrative.  They also offer 2 week to 1 month placements to students, so I may consider sending them an email when the time comes to organise a placement.

Oh Comely Magazine

http://www.ohcomely.co.uk

I absolutely adore this magazine, i love the design style, the anecdotes and articles.  I would love to be a part of their design team.  It just sounds exactly like my cup of tea, as it is a small group of people who seem to get on really well while thoroughly enjoying their job.  The personality of the designers definitely shows through in their designs and they seem like lovely, happy-go-lucky people.

Merrimaking

http://www.merrimaking.co.uk

I feel that I share similar taste for clothing and illustration with these designers.  I like that they apply design to objects such as hats and clothing.  They seem like a playful and laid back bunch which is what I'd sway towards over serious and corporate design studios.

http://www.14cstudio.com

This is a design studio in glasgow and I like the look of the work they produce.  Glasgow is my favourite city in Scotland and I think I'd be very happy there.

Task 2
Identify the top choice and WHY you feel that they may have synergy with your practice now, or in the near future. 

My top choice would be Oh Comely as I feel most passionate about it.
