Choice deliberations:
- I want to interview a company that I would like to work with in the future, however I like the work of the design studios, but don't want to work for a design studio.
- Elle magazine only has a small travel section, which isn't shown on the website, only printed. It doesn't focus on travel, although perhaps this could be interesting, and is a very high profile publication and company, so chances of getting an interview are slim.
- Conde Nast Traveller is also a very high profile company, so chances of getting an interview are slim. it also appears to be to be more commercial than creative, kind of boring.
- Amuse is a very interesting digital magazine, however it is only in digital format, not print, however it is an i-D publication, so perhaps this could be a way to get into i-D's printed publications?

Whichever creative company I choose to interview, there is a reasonable chance that they won't reply and won't accept an interview with me, so I have to come up with a personal and creative way to get their attention. This I feel will be in some printed matter to send in the post, but something that stands out from the moment they see it, so the envelope will have to be spectacular and intriguing.
