I visited Mind Design in Hackney, London. It was a strange experience to begin with because the studio is based in a warehouse building off the main roads. It seems like a good place to set up a studio, for one thing rent must be low. I spent around 2 hours chatting to Holger (creative director), he gave me a lot of advice on my portfolio on how to position and crop images. He told me to focus on my final major project and design whatever I wanted instead of becoming bogged down in what briefs ask you to do.
