How to make your own experience/internship.

The Nomadic Designer
"I'll give you two days, if you give me one back"
One guy worked two days with various studios/creatives, in return for one day of mentorship.
He travelled around Europe, and gained his experience through the networking/connections he made along the way.
'Turn heroes into collaborators'

The Cool Bus
A mobile graphic design studio.
Five friends turned an old American school bus into a studio and travelled around America gaining experience by working with various studios/creatives/companies.
They documented their journey on then popular Tumblr (2012) and gained press/publicity through that. Today the platform to use would be Instagram.
Do something to stand out from the crowd.
One of the guys after this experienced went for a Junior Designer interview, and got offered the position of Art Director, all because they loved 'The Cool Bus' project.

Snask
A studio that does things differently. eg. brings a band to each of their creative talks/seminars.

Soren Danielsen
His tactic was to go viral.
He made himself a promo video, but it on various social media platforms and got loads of internship offers from it. The video was viewed over 300,000 times.
Eve today he would get interest to work with him from companies that come across the video.

The Pop Up Agency
They would solve any creative brief in 48 hours.
They took a trip and did 15 briefs, in 15 cities in 15 weeks.
They either took on projects for studios/companies, or worked with their existing creative departments to help them to develop and better their processes.
That project has now developed in a successful studio/agency that charge 40,000 per brief.

Kate Darby 
She grew up watching her parents run a studio that was constantly changing in team numbers.
For her final project, she looked at how she could create a platform where creatives could connect and share, and make it easier to find jobs.
This has now led into her launching a website/app called Dovetail X, which helps creatives share their work and get jobs.
