Curious about the world of design that we inhabit?
The graphic design
industry is an extremely competitive place to be. As more and more
colleges, polytechnics, universities and specialised graphic design
courses spring up, more and more people are starting out on their
career in the graphic design services.
Already being well into
our chosen profession, some more than others, we at a fish in sea are
well aware of the challenges ahead for these budding designers. English
design is seen as one of the best in the world, and for good reason,
but with the rest of the world attempting to compete with low costs,
low overheads, etc, the graphic design industry is an even more
competitive sector!
We feel, it is time to give back to our own
industry. If we cannot look after our own, the stars of the future,
then who can? A fish in sea are constantly looking to help students, of
all ages, whether it be through offering valuable work experience in an

advice, then we will.
