People of Sweden

Well as it turns out I'm going to be moving back to Sweden at the start of next month. Lived there for a short time back in 2008.

Does anyone know of any internships/work placements etc, or just somewhere to get a foot in the door over there? Figured I'd try and take that approach given how hard it was to find a proper job last time I was over there. People are obviously a lot more likely to give you a shot if you're not asking for money! I never finished learning Swedish properly so that proves to be a bit of a barrier to most places from hiring you (and fair enough too).

I've been contacting as many of you Swedes as I can find lately but am throwing it out there on QBN, exhausting all the options.

All advice, tips and obligatory off topic QBN responses are welcome.

Put a few things online recently too: http://www.jeremyjevans.com/

And No, I don't like this hipster synthpop pack of douches.

Thank you,.

View only artboard - Illustrator

Is there any way to quickly preview only what's on the artboard in illustrator?

A lot of times I have elements that flow over the edges and have to resort to making clipping masks which can get to be annoying. The only solution I've found so far is enlarging the navigator panel an setting it to "View artboard contents only" but it's not exactly ideal.

Gerrit Rietveld Academie

Has anyone gone here, or have any experience with the school? Is it hard to get in?

I'm thinking of gaining some more formal education in graphic design and have heard good things about this place.

Chairs

So I'm looking for a new chair.

My lower back is pretty fussy and sitting at a desk all day kills it.

Taking price and looks out of the equation, what's the most ergonomic and comfortable chair? I'm leaning towards the Formway 'Life' chair at the moment.

Agencies in Sweden

Does anyone know of any good agencies to contact in Sweden for possible freelance work? (Graphic design)

I've been living here since the beginning of the year and have hardly been able to find any work.

Needless to say my Swedish is pretty shit house at the moment.
