We have long held that a company can and must be driven by more than a desire to make money. We believe in giving back to their community where opportunity presents itself. And so we recently welcomed a young and creative talent for work experience.

Cassius is the son of Sabina Gran, a local illustrator and long time friend and collaborator of ours. Cass has expressed an interest in graphic design and so Sabina approached PLOTT to show him a typical day-in-the-life. Keen to encourage and inspire the next generation of creative talent, we accepted at once. Giving youngsters the experience of a day’s work helps them make more informed choices about their future.

I’d like to think we are inspiring the next generation of creatives coming into the industry. The industry can offer so much and is great fun. I always love the chance to show people what we do.

We put Cass to work immediately, with an artistic brief to design a logo for a football results app. The idea was to show how the creative process can be harnessed in a professional environment. From client brief to conceptualisation, through development and delivery. The afternoon was spent practising with various design software – which is a vital skill for modern designers. Late afternoon Cass was delighted to discover that that table he’d been working from is actually a pool table! Hardworking designers need to unwind after a long day.

As a high-functioning neurodiverse kid, Cassius sometimes struggles to fit into our one-size-fits-all education system. So I was delighted PLOTT welcomed him, as I know that they encourage diverse thinking! He had a great time and now he’s hooked on Photoshop.

We believe that work experience has many benefits for companies. It allows businesses to stand out to prospective employers and gives them the opportunity to help people who are considering a career in their industry.

I loved my work experience at Adline Magazine so much that it made me determined to join the creative sector in some capacity. I wanted to give this same opportunity to Cassius as I know he has been vocal about design work. I hope his day at the PLOTT studio gave him a real feel for what he could do one day.

Anna Plotnek, Managing Director

Cassius is welcome back any time to PLOTT. We were impressed with his talent and attitude and would love to offer more work experience in the future.
