FIRST CLASS BA HONOURS!

Today I have found out that I am to graduate from the University of the West of England with 1st Class BA Honours degree in Graphic Design! I worked really hard to achieve this, and I am really chuffed with my results!

Working with Pencil Studios

I've been on work experience this week down with they guys from Pencil Studios in Frome. It's been a brilliant week due to there great sense of humour! Hopefully I will be working with them again on some of their projects in the near future...

ISTD Membership

On Friday I went to an awards ceremony at the London Design Museum to receive a Merit Award by the International Society of Typographic Designers. It was a great and almost unbelievable experience to meet and chat with the world famous typographer Erik Spiekermann! It was great to join the society, meet other like minded designers, and see all of their really top notch work! My tutor John Paul Downling also received two awards for his brilliant teaching!

DAA Publication

Alongside my final uni projects I have worked on a publication for the Drawing and Applied Arts degree course at UWE. Working with two friends; Tom and James, we have produced a publication that documents the working process of each student on the course. We chose to base the publication around their working process in order to further sell themselves to visitors of the degree show. The visitors of the exhibition can then learn more about the student, from the final finished pieces that are on display in of them. The publication also contains a visitors map and poster of the exhibition that can guide the visitor to the work of each student.

The catalogues went down a storm and we have received brilliant feedback from many visitors and students of the course!

Degree Show Exhibition

This week I am showcasing some of my recent interactive design work at the UWE degree show. I am exhibiting A large self built multitouch table, showcasing a multi user infographic piece that teaches the events that occurred at the onset of the Libyan conflict. The exhibition also contains two of my books and A large scroll poster.

If you haven't already been down to visit the show, please come and see the show!

The adress for the show is: Kennel Lodge Road Bristol BS3 2JT. The show finishes at 20:00 on thursday 16th of June. Hopefully see you there!
