The Savvy Kathryn Cross
Graphic Designer Kathryn Cross created her own crockery set with striking designs, based around Factory Farming. Kathryn is a vegetarian and disguised some facts and imagery from this type of farming within the motifs, as a reminder for those eating meat of the issues that come with it; a very original response to a well covered subject.
You can read more about her project on her blog.
The Wondrous Joanna Rutter
Joanna is a well rounded craftswoman, with skills in illustration, textile, product and jewellery design, all producing beautiful results. This wooden boat and pattern were the outcome for a project that used the starting point of ‘Canada’- her work often takes a journey of discovery and the results are often surprising and thoughtful.
A link to Joanna’s amazing jewellery and products can be found here.
ARTIST TALKS:
KYLE BEAN
We’ve got another excellent creative type, the Brighton graduate Kyle Bean, talking about his work and life after university.
Kyle is an incredible model and set designer, with some really exciting Art Direction projects under his belt. Having only graduated two years ago he is someone we all admire and are looking forwards to hearing what he’s been up to.
Kyle has recently designed a beautiful pop-up card for the New Design Museum in Kensington, showing his work can be abstract and sleek as well as fun (The Science of Play) and intelligent (Selfridges: Transformation). It’s no surprise he’s a winner of this years ADC Young Guns Award.
Yet another reason not to miss the exhibition!
(Time of talk coming soon)
The Proficient Laura Gordon
Laura has produced a series of Letterpress posters entitled “Gutenberg and the Freedom of Ideas: Exploring the social and historical impact of the invention of the printing press”
She set and printed the type using the traditional method, but her use of colour and design brings the pieces right up to modern day.
The series is currently being featured at
Type Impressions: An International Exhibition of new trends in the Art of Letterpress
Danish Museum of Media, Odense, Denmark.
2nd September - 20th November 2011
You can see footage of the exhibition here.
Sarah Julia Clark has given an interview with Ventricular Projects from Texas about her work and the themes and inspiration that drive her research- currently feminism and equality
It’s always interesting to hear how other creatives work, especially when it’s your peers.
The Astute Jacqueline Choi
One of Jacqueline’s latest projects is this branding and packaging design for a Cantonese Cafe - Canton. “The patterns are inspired by the Hong Kong Cafe, and a Chinese character meaning hungry is used in the design.”
Jacqueline’s packaging been selected as one of the ten finalists for Shine award by Coley Porter Bell, a brand design agency in London!
The Zealous Florence Deary
Florence has, like a lot of us, been getting to grips with the software that we’ll need later on in our careers.
Her first flash animation ‘Living with Florence is Shit’ made us all laugh, much like the rest of her characterful and witty portfolio, which you can see here.
More from The Ingenious Matt Dreyer. Matt is one of our Graphic Designers who is particularly interested in filmic space and moving image.
A beautiful one day project making the most of the increasingly common British snow.
As quite a tight knit year group we spend a lot of time in our studio working together, but also use it as a space to come and have fun and socialise together.
At the end of last term Rufus set up ‘Music Tyme’ inviting all of Graphic Design and Illustration students and tutors alike to enter a talent show, as part of a personal project to get people performing in public more often.
We had music performances, dancing, rapping, an amazing drum performance and a closely fought arm wrestling contest.
Watch Rufus’ excellent video that enticed us all to join in, hopefully it will encourage you all to pick up an instrument and get out there too!
ARTIST TALKS:
JASPER GOODALL
We are excited to announce the first of the artists that will be giving a series of talks on the 1st October during the exhibition.
Jasper is the King of digital artwork, pioneering digital image making techniques way ahead of the rest. His slick and sexy work has found its way into fashion (Gucci), into huge branding projects (Johnny Walker, Nike), band artwork (Muse), art direction and several exciting gallery projects to name but a few. He also is an excellent screen-printer, his attention to detail is second to none.
Jasper will be talking about his work and the transition from education to industry. We are privileged to have such a great illustrator at our show.
Don’t miss it!
Full schedule and timetable coming soon.
