The winner of this brief should have an interest in literature and music, as well as demonstrable design skills. They should be available two days a week (Wednesday and Thursday) for a period of six weeks, starting on the week of November 3 (see exact dates below). They will be working at the Creative Society’s HQ at Somerset House.
We are looking for original creative thinkers with great attention to detail. The winning applications will demonstrate originality, ingenuity, and a capacity to deliver beautiful, polished and professional designs. Candidates should show that they have carried out in-depth research about Jazz Shapers, Mishcon de Reya and The Creative Society. Their design ideas should consider literature, music, and design.
The winning designs will:

- Highlight the interviews’ themes
Candidates should also be able to articulate how this opportunity will help them build their professional portfolio, and how it is relevant to their career goals.
