SWOT analysis:
Strengths: City centre based, cheap and easy to travel to. Have worked with a broad range of clients, both locally and internationally.
Weaknesses: Not particularly my style or approach to Graphic Design, seems to be quite a large company
Opportunities: They promote to having interns work for them, and the opportunity for others to apply.
Threats: If this is the only place I get experience, it won't reflect my style. The type of work they do I may find difficult, thus I may not learn anything.
