This month's Creative Review showcases some of this year's best design graduates, including fellow G&CD students James & Joe from the year above. I have to say, it's great seeing Leeds students in CR and it certainly gives you something to aim towards.
Their work is mad, their website is one of a kind and they're not afraid to smash some taboos yet I thought they seemed quite down to earth when I met them at socials... I can't get my head round how their minds work, I'd never be able to come up with some of the random stuff they come up with but it is very impressive.
The other graduates range from oil painter Mark Boardman (University College of Falmoth) to interactive designer Tomomi Sayuda (London College of Communication) with her "i-bum", a chair that takes a picture of one's derriere and prints it out for you to keep.
Tom Lovell has a very impressive portfolio of typographic work which I can see expanding vastly as his career advances. I was particularly impressed by his "Keep Us Busy" project he did with a friend, they set themselves up in a studio, desks next to the window and invited people to give them little projects to work on. They used the glass next to them to showcase the work and advertise their services.
Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth worked together to win D&AD's Best New Blood award with their promotional video of HP printers...
Eilin Bergum is a very cool Norwegian girl who studied at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, London. She did a particularly interesting project aimed at involving blind and partially blind people with her designs inviting the audience to interact with her work through touch and bright colours and different textures.
If you can get yourself down to design agency Mother's studio 2pm-5pm until Thursday 10th September then you can see their work showcased at "Downstairs at Mother".
