Design Your Future...

My old Ad course at the University of Lincoln got in touch a short while ago, and asked me to write a piece for the course. It'll feature in a publication to be distributed at the Design your Future Exhibition at Manchester & London Olympia. The magazine includes some interesting grads from a wide range of disciplines...

At first I loved the layout/ type treatment for the magazine. I'm not so sure now, anyway... judge for yourself. You can grab a full copy of the magazine here

A Nod to T & D...

A quick nod of congratulations to two of our Buddies, Tom & Darren from the University days, they have just been HIRED at Ogilvy, after a bit of a stretch!!!! Well done guys (Apologies for the delay in getting this one up!!!) 

D&AD New Blood 2008

Roll on the 23rd - 25th.

Why you ask? Incase you missed the title it's D&AD's New Blood Exhibition.

For those of you who don't know what it's all about here's the gist of it:

"It's a showcase of the best new creative talent. Over 100 college and university courses teaching design, advertising, digital media, visual communications and related crafts fields exhibit the work of their best graduates".

A few of us from up here in Lincoln have been asked to exhibit on behalf of our degree course, BA (Hons) Creative Advertising. It's a big honour so we're pretty chuffed. 

The event runs from 10:00am - 4.00pm @ Earl's Court, Brompton Hall, London, SW5 9TA.

If there's any other details we'll let you know!
