Internship - Small Fury (January 2016) | Jenelle Law
I interned at a small Hackney based studio called Small Fury led by Oswin Tickler for three weeks in January. During my time there, I met two other LCC alumni named Arvi and Sean who were working as freelancers that assisted Oswin with LCC’s very own ARTEFACT. All three of them were very friendly and we had a lot of laughs and banter in the cozy studio space.
Initially I was very interested in helping out with ARTEFACT, however since there were enough people working on the layout and art direction, I mostly assisted with image sourcing and did some illustrations with the other freelancers for one of the articles. One of the other main projects I worked on was creating layouts for articles in Southwark magazine. Through working at Small Fury, I was able to witness the behind the scenes process of putting an issue together and gained a deeper knowledge about the publication techniques using the capabilities of Adobe InDesign. There were many helpful tools and functions that created visual consistency and helped organise text within the document that I did not existed prior to this internship. These tools would definitely be of gooduse as I design publications such as research documents in the future. Oswin is definitely a master of InDesign and we would constantly say that he should publish his own best-selling book of InDesign tips and tricks!
