Want to get paid work?

You need a portfolio that shows you can take on client briefs...

Briefbox was set up by Joel Rosen; Creative Director of British design agency - ORCA. After seeing hundreds of portfolios and job applications come through the door, Joel was shocked at how many lacked design work that emulated real client based projects that his agency have to deal with on a daily basis.

A real-world style of learning

Although many universities and design courses help students to step outside the box and improve their technical skills and software knowledge, they lack substance when setting projects that emulate real client work that freelancers and agencies have to deal with on a daily basis. Often, in the professional world, these tasks are demanding and require a fast turnaround, and that's where designing with Briefbox differs from spending years at college or university; it's quick learning in a realistic environment!
