Revolver Revolver Agency

Today a speaker called Chris Redshaw from the 'Revolver Revolver' Design agency, came into college to talk to us about future possibilities for creative students. The revolver revolver design agency work with their clients to produce outcomes for branding, graphic design, wed design and advertising. He also came to explain why agencies are good for new and fresh designers.

The company started out in 2008 and is located locally within the Midlands. It is now 6 years old and they have been working to develop their portfolios and contacts over the years. They work to make the world a more visually appealing place to live, and from a business and creative perspective they believe that they can make a difference. They have worked with an array of clients over the last 4 years and have worked with many industries such as; social care, motor sport, property, marketing, photography, motion graphics, education, events and festivals, art and design, catering, law and professional services. They have produced work for the University of Derby, Derby Museum and Art Gallery, Quad, Repton School, Nestle - The Cocoa works and much more.

When talking about agencies he explained the positive outcomes of them and why we should consider them as aspiring designers, such as;

- Smaller Teams
When working within groups, smaller teams are often more successful due to easy access to communication, you don't have to worry about your ideas and thoughts getting lost. But also it allows you to have direct contact to the client rather than being the middleman, it creates an easier understanding of what the client wants to achieve creating a personal and direct alliance between clients and the business.

- Groups Vs. Individual
Often when working within a group you can work together and share ideas to create a better answer to a brief. Rather than having one opinion it allows you to develop your ideas to create a successful outcome.

- Specialized Attention
Similarly to the previous bullet point a smaller agency often allows you to focus upon a project for a longer amount of time giving you a chance to create the best work that you can. But it also means your not to stretched out of your depths meaning you can relate a better relationship with the clients meaning more successful contacts.

- Indisputable Work
There are no hidden sale initiatives as small design agencies like 'Revolver Revolver' thrive off getting contacts and producing high quality work for the clients. Allowing the business to gain a successful name for themselves with reasonable prices.

Since hearing the positive outcomes from what an individual can gain from working within a team it makes me as a student designer think more about what job aspect that I want to go into after going to uni. As I feel the importance of gaining relationships with clients to ensure that people believe in your work and the quality of it. But also to gain work experience within the industry to set you up in your future career.
