This goes beyond graphic design, i think a real connection with the work and purpose of the work is the real meat and bones. For instance i was interested in a new music movement coming out of Croydon London, a design firm called GiveUpArt are at the centre of this, just expressing an interest and passion for the area of work lead to a placement, they wouldn't of had it any other way. Some design firms have morels and are focused on a purpose which can be said for electric angel and GiveUpArt, its all about that common connection whilst learning that thing called graphic design. If both these things are present respect and a good working relationship follow, it naturaly follows.
