Stuff & Things Collective

Recently after buying a couple posters, I realised the studio, 'stuff and things collective' was based in Leeds! which was totally surreal. The posters I really wanted were sold out, but I settled for a Tame Impala and an Alt-J one, job done. They are a Design & Illustration collective, based in city of Leeds. Specialising in hand-made and hand-drawn, lovingly-crafted creations; they pride ourselves on traditional practices that celebrate the 'human element' in all of their work, which is so often lost in this digital era.The methods used span a broad, eclectic range of creative mediums that together bring about distinctive juxtapositions between bold space and intricate detailing.They have an ever-growing portfolio of sweet and sinister themed pieces we hope to stimulate and inspire both mind and eye! They design posters for Tame Impala to the Brudenell Social Club!

Networking

Six Questions on Network 

Why is networking good for me personally?

Meeting new people with the same interests, swapping ideas/designs and getting feedback. From graduates I have spoken to (Falmouth/London/Leeds) its all about where your internships have been and who you know.

For what I may get out of it is it worth it? yes/no

yes, definitely.

What can I get out of this?

New friends/acquaintances, and potentially a job!

Am I doing this simply because I am being asked to?

No, its good to meet new people.

What do I think that I am not doing as far as networking?

I think what I need to prioritise on is my confidence and enthusiasm when asking for help and presenting. I think this sometimes pulls me back.

Do you think that in this kind communication, language is a major barrier?

No
