More Berlin based studios
I'm getting really stuck in with searching for Berlin studios, theres quite a few that suit me and what areas of design I want to be practicing.
Berlin - based studios
I've been looking into some Berlin - based design studios for when I go to Berlin next year. Hopefully I can tie my visit which well last a few months in with some Industry experience. I've also learnt recently that Berlin being a hub of international creatives means not speaking German won't hinder me, but I do plan on learning the language.

What are your concerns about industrial experience?
- Not being good enough, having my work or portfolio not at the standard that agencies will be interested in me.
- Bad financial climate, Agencies and studios may not be so willing to take me on.
- Not being to draw, sounds silly but I feel that it's something thats going to slow me down when it come to the industry (Need to start drawing again)
- Making a bad impression, blowing it and losing out on a good contact or reference

What is Industrial experience?
Working in a design environment, working on real live briefs for real clients for the real world.
- Experiencing real time constraints, ongoing live briefs and working to a budget.
- Making sacrifices and compromising with clients views and instructions.
- working and adapting to a new team environment
- Being part of something real, not a self-made brief seeing the design process go from an idea to a resolution to being professionally printed and sent to the client.
