Offset Projects is working with design agency, WHP, to develop a new visual approach for our work. We’re looking for 10 people, aged 16-25, to help shape the direction of the design.
We want to hear from a people who have their own tastes, ideas and influences, and who are interested in how creative work is presented, how visual identities come to life, and what makes a design feel distinctive.
You’ll have opportunities to share what inspires you, respond to WHP’s ideas, challenge things that don’t quite work and suggest other possibilities. Your perspectives will help inform the designers’ decisions and shape how the final work develops.
You don’t need to be a designer or have a portfolio but you should have a strong interest in art, design and visual culture.
