Who else is out there - how good are they?

The Surgery, London. 

This is a design agency that really tickles my fancy, the problem with this one is that its based in london which is miles away from the area which i would like to work, this is good that these will not come as competition towards me, however there work could branch up this high as they are already a well established business


Strengths
-Already well established business
-Will already have a giant client base
-Have a strong team set with knowledge of editorial and layout to a high level
-Offer a range of illustration, editorial, branding and information graphics

Weaknesses
-Located down south so there business cant reach the north as easily



Lono, London

This is another design agency that creates work that i think could really change the way in which i work if i was to work with these, this would then help me to develop and increase the range of skills which i have and then how i could make these work alot better overall


Strengths
-A vast range of work
-A vast range of clients 
-A strong team which alot of knowledge on graphic design 
-Already established business

Weaknesses
-There work seems to be rather samey (similar style when it comes to business cards on website)



Nick Bell Designs 

This is a website which caught my attention ever since Nick Bell came and did a talk with our university since the day he came into our university, his work from him and his company are really strong and i think that this is something that has caught my attention. I don't feel like this is really my style of work but its still really creative and could lead to other design style work which can be linked into my work


Strengths
-Creative design work which can inspire 
-Original and fresh work by young designers
-They offer a vast range of work

Weaknesses
-Based in London
-Not really editorial work so not too much of a threat too me



Conclusion
 
 When i look at the above companies i feel that my work has the potential to go above and beyond this stlye of work and this then will lead me into believing that i am the better designer which i think i could be if i really knuckle down and get on with the work which will help me to become this.

They all seem to offer a range of processes to create the best and strongest pieces of work which really give the clients what they are wanting, this is something that i will have to compete with as i need to make sure that i am able to give the best possible solution to the brief and also beat them in any of the work which they can produce so that i am able to get the work in.

When they are compared against me then you see that our work is very different as it would be with alot of designers as we all have a varied base of work, this could then be a way to sell myself as i will have fresh creative ideas which they will not have on there team, it comes down to if i can fill the gaps with the qualities that i have
