Minx Creative

In line with its predecessors, the 2023 edition of Fedrigoni 365 showcases a united collaboration of cross-disciplinary creatives with the core inspiration and theme this year being ‘love’.

Each calendar date focuses on the individuals/studio/agency’s interpretation of love, and the outcome is a beautiful collection of diverse artworks, uniquely printed, expertly finished and bound.

This year, we were assigned with the date 19 March, and our approach to the brief: ‘19 flowers for Mum. Happy Mother’s Day.’

Thank you Fedrigoni Paper, we loved being a part of the collaboration ❤️

We encourage all to purchase a copy via Counter-Print — proceeds from each sale going directly to the British Heart Foundation.

This month marks our second full year of running Mentoring Sessions, our studio initiative providing guidance, feedback and mentoring to Graphic Designers of all levels.

Over the past 12 months we have met with 25 mentees, living across the UK and overseas. From emerging designers through to Mid-weight and Senior levels, we spent time talking about current circumstances, work and future goals. Each 60 minute session, being uniquely geared for the mentee, covered as much ground as possible.

Whilst there are a host of resources available to designers online, the opportunity to speak face-to-face and openly with a creative head was recognised as a hugely positive outcome, and much needed.

Common hurdles and challenges that continue to be the main decision-maker for mentees reaching out to us in the first instance, include:

— Finding or changing a job
— Breaking into the industry
— Self-confidence
— Building on experience
— Understanding roles, routes and responsibilities
— Expectations of working in creative environments
— Freelancing vs full-time employment
— In-house vs studio/agency
— How to take your role to the next level
— Moving from one skill set to another

We will continue running the free sessions with discussions currently underway to set up group sessions.
