FAQ



by Evangeline Thai

Interns are not solicited to work or assist, by designers. Otherwise, we will be swamped! Therefore, all requests for assistance are filtered through a project manager, in this case, Wendy.

Mike Allen, the studio manager, schedules interns, freelancers, as well as designers on various design jobs that are new, or on-going.

As an intern, I receive a weekly schedule, of which I am informed or notified, by the Project Manager. During the course of the week, there is fluctuation in workload. However, the work that I am scheduled for is invariably of different disciplines, as I am rostered to work with designers from Brand Environment, Brand Identity, Corporate Identity, Production, etc.

This further enables me to decide which stream of design I should like to specialise in. I must say that, in this, I certainly did not envisage that we would be given a chance to voice our preference, but both Wendy and Mike were equally indulgent and co-operative.

However, this is not the only reason that I love interning at Landor so much! One of the other chief reasons is that the environment here is simultaneously intense, and yet casual. And here, interns are treated as important members of the design fraternity.
