Significant Change

During the summer months, Andy and I have been sorting through the plan chests and have unearthed a few pieces of work we wanted to share with you. The first is a personal project completed by Mike Rigby, dated 2002. Its concept is as relevant to day as it was fifteen years ago, and it's easy to see the difference it could make.

The idea was one of those that was happened upon during a conversation between Mike and Andy; I am informed most likely to have occurred between the walls of a public house.

Mike wrote the copy which you can read on the poster, it's worth noting the power of well-written and crafted copy in helping to clarify and communicate a concept. As an aside it's also interesting how an idea of social change became a reality for Mike when he and his team rebranded Alzheimer's Australia.

Student nominations for ‘RAF Active’ brief design award

A live brief run by Coley Porter Bell, a top London branding agency visited the graphics course to deliver the ‘RAF Active’ project. The brief was to create an identity and visual language for the new RAF Active campaign and bring it to life through inspiring and exciting applications, eg. social media platforms, posters and apps.

The prize was a placement at CPB and prize money.

Year 2 BA(Hons) Graphic Design students, Lucy Child, Huzaifa Sidat, Brandon Thomas were nominated and went to the London based agency to present their projects.

It was a great opportunity for the students to work on a real life brief and have the experience of visiting a design agency and present their work to industry.
