UWIC Talk

On Tuesday I was at my old stomping ground of Cardiff School of Art and Design, where I first studied my Graphic Communication degree way back in 2001!

Myself and fellow designer Claire Siggery spoke about our experiences since leaving University including freelancing and applying for jobs. I also spoke about the compromise between creativity and business, as well as setting up Carbon Studio and Design Tribe.

It was great to meet the current crop and catch up with the tutors. Looking forward to getting to the graduate exhibition in the summer!

Snow Competition


Seeing as I've just invested my hard-earned cash in a bit of board... I thought I'd give it a mention on the blog for two reasons.

One - I'm doing my bit for the environmental brigade as it's one of only a few boards to be sustainably produced.
  • 20% reduction of petroleum-based materials content
  • 25% reduction of non-renewable materials
  • 10% reduced board weight
...basically it's made out of bamboo!

Secondly, wanted to give a mention to Jarin Nemecek, from Czech Republic, who submitted his nature-inspired freaky big mouth monkey graphic illustration to www.artworkcontest.com; the official website for Salomon Snowboards Artwork Contest.

And just to prove I'm not just doing the 'cool designery thing' of saying I snowboard... here I am in action... sort of.
