Come and have a go if you think you’re creative enough

April 30th, 2012

As a hunter-gatherer of all things arty, I try to visit as many art events as my schedule and budget will allow. Tent London, Pullens Yard and Ceramic Art being must-attends imho.
The creations I see, and aspire to own, are jaw-droppingly beautiful. I know exactly where they’d go, how I’d hang them, and how much pleasure they’d bring to my daily life. But some of the prices are jaw-dropping too. Out of my range, as it were.
And as I wander round, dreaming of the day I’ll own that Art Deco house, with its ample hanging space, I get thinking. The artists know what it took to create that one individual piece. They remember those long nights, crossing their fingers by the kiln. They have earned the right to put a price on their creativity.
In the world of creative agencies, things can be somewhat different. Our clients have allocated a budget, set KPI’s and objectives have been agreed.  We work with fantastic brands, who value our work highly and who are impressed with the ROI we achieve. Difference is, there’s a framework. A finite budget. A fixed deadline.  But what if we could take these boundaries away? What then could be achieved?
We’re looking for creative people to work on a blank canvas with us. View our work at www.psprare.co.uk. Come to us with your ideas, as outré as you like. Let’s see how a fresh eye views our products, unfettered by a schedule or diktats from Apple.
Email grahame.lake@psprare.co.uk with examples of your print and online portfolio, plus your CV. This opportunity starts on an intern basis, but could lead to a permanent role.
Come and have a go if you think you’re creative enough…we look forward to creating some beautiful work together!
