Typography is one of the most important aspects of being a successful graphic designer.

Layout, photography, attention to detail, concise project descriptions, hierarchy of the page etc etc..

If you like you can email me a PDF version of your portfolio and I can take a look at it?

(I graduated last year & I'm now working as a Junior, won an I.S.T.D award last year & D&AD New Blood this year (without blowing my own horn))



I've got a fair amount of type stuff already, everything is all over the place at the minute though. hopefully by the end of the week ill some stuff to show, but id defiantly remember to put something up, would appreciate the help!

where abouts did you study? and thats sick mate, if i were you id be blowing my own horn all over the place. any of the work you did online?

fair enough

Nice stuff Jake.

Not seen this thread before I don't think, some really impressive work in here, like Mrs Stoney's painting too.

i'm in my final year of graphic design at brighton - if there's anything you wanna know about the course let me know. i'd do your research aswell, I applied to both kingston and brighton and in hindsight kind of wish i'd went to kingston. brighton is ultra-tradional for the first two years, I think kingston offer a more relevant and contemporary program of study, but if it's type you're into you'll be very happy at brighton. have you done a foundation too? having done one of these is pretty essential in getting into a good uni, make sure you've got a wide range of stuff in your portfolio which shows you've looked outside of design - this is what doing a foundation is good for.

First post up on the forum (finally!)

Here's my latest film produced for Puma at the All Gone book Launch at Foot Patrol, London.

La MJC, Puma and Footpatrol ALL GONE book signing with Michael Dupouy (for some reason it won't embed the video…)

A few flicks from the event as well

No I didn't have anything to do with the promo etc, they just invited me to exhibit as part of it. It's a nice design though!
