Fruit of our labour

A reminder that the Staffordshire University 3rd year BA Hons Graphic Design show opens on Friday 5th June.

If you're looking to cherry pick the best in design talent then I implore you to widen your net and give the students at Staffordshire your full attention.

Harry caught in the Chase

A small sherry shall be raised to Staffordshire graduate (2008) Harry Heptonstall who has been snapped up by those lovely people at The Chase.

Ironically enough, I worked on a project for Harry's father, Duncan, whilst I worked at The Chase in my formative years. Spooky!

Best of British to Harry and I'll try and get him to add his thoughts and early experiences to 'The Sponge' in the near future.

P.S. Note to The Chase, Rach - give him what for, Pete - make him squeal like a pig!

It's been a long time

A thousand apologies for not updating the blog, I've been up to my eyes with little things like running a design studio!

It's been mad busy recently what with going into partnership, moving into a cool new design studio, taking more work on, United getting to Rome and ehm... Pearly Pops our 17 month old baby! Apart from that its been pretty quiet recently.

Anyway, enough of my lame excuses, I'd like to first congratulate all the students who entered the Roses brief, Staffordshire pretty much wiped the floor. Both I and my new business partner, Paul Haworth, attended the awards ceremony at Urbis in Manchester and it was great to see you all. I was delighted to see so many turn up and hopefully that should give you all a great spur on, especially the third years towards the glory of graduation.

There are a load of other things I need to catch up on (most incredibly out of date) so I'll try and add these in the next few posts.
