In case you haven’t been paying attention, the ‘intern project’ for want
of a much better title is us trying to do something productive and
fruitful with emerging creative talent, rather than have them loiter by
the magazines waiting for home time.
Having spoken to lots of new designers, we realised that the skills they
feel they’re lacking are the exact skills that they’re not being taught
in art school - doing shit and getting it out there. So the plan is
for us to help nine new designers and three emerging writers run a
series of projects over the next twelve months. They’ll be split into
three groups and each given four months to produce two pieces of work
that have a base in great design and experimental language. We
originally said this should be a zine, but given the amazing quality of
their work, we’ve decided to shut up and let them do what they want.
To help them on their journey to enlightenment, we’re going to provide
our team of interns with workshops from organisations whom we really
admire. People like Shellsuit Zombie, OWT Creative, Textbook Studio and
Fever Zine will be sharing the ancient secrets of getting shit done.
From the business end, we also thought it would be a great idea to teach
them how to run a studio, which will involve helping them generate
their own work, managing that work and using the money they earn for
good, not evil.
They could learn a lot from the experience and go on to have amazing
careers. Or they could rise up against us and over throw the old Mercy
order, asserting their independence in a bloody coup. It’s a step into
the unknown for all of us really. We’re going to introduce you to the
new team over the next few days. They’re all quite brilliant.
