This is what it’s like to pitch an idea to NME.
Earlier this month, a group of young creatives visited NME for a #Lifehacks graphic design masterclass in partnership with University of Salford and Create Jobs. After meeting key members of the NME team, the students were introduced to creative director Simon Freeborough, who gave them an overview of NME’s history and house style before setting a brief: design a flier that could be featured in an issue of NME. The young creatives also received an insight into the industry from Maya Wild, a graphic designer whose work has been published in magazines in the UK, US and Japan.
A week later, the young creatives came back to NME with their finished fliers – and got to pitch their ideas to the NME team. See what happened at the masterclass below.
One of the young creatives who got to pitch to NME was Sophie, a third year graphic design student from University of Salford. Find out how she felt about pitching to NME below.
As part of our #LifeHacks initiative, NME and the University of Salford are also creating a year-long programme of events. The aim is to help inspire young creatives on how to get ahead in the world of work.
