Inspired by author Isaac Asimov's The Robots of Dawn, which is part of a series of short stories and novels that are set in the first age of positronic robotics and space exploration.
Socrates is famous for arguing that to be wise is to "Know Thyself" and declaring that the unexamined life is one not worth living. It is often thought that Socrates' wisdom was that he knew that he didn't know about himself, about the reasons for the actions and behaviors of others; the foolishness of his fellow Athenians was that they didn't know that they didn't know.
The collabo crackers we created for the Japanese company Bodywild are now on sale. The design is based on TDR work created for the famous NYSushi club in Sheffield. Get 'em while they're hot.
CR's 'Graduate Special' has just come out that features profiles on seven young designers and creatives who left university this summer. Portraits and cover by Melvin Galapon ooh-err.
I would just like to thank Johnny Hardstaff for his feedback and support over the last few months of university - And more recently, for recommending me for Creative Review's Graduates Issue. I am now a linked friend on Johnny's website, which is rather nice. Easy tiger!
I contributed some of the collages in the inner booklet of Greie Gut Fraktion's 'Baustelle' CD while on placement at The Designers Republic. Just got a copy :)
Degree show soon. A motivational poster with a Tyke twist :) Inspired by the typically characteristic Yorkshire outlook on life, including the distinctive regional dialect and colloquialisms, and how these can become part of our identity.
I work at The Designers Republic™ in Sheffield after recently graduating with a First Class Honours in Design and Art Direction from the Manchester School of Art.
This is where I dump my personal experiments etc.
