January 2015 - The eyes chico, they never lie

I hope you all had a good break and have enjoyed the first week back to work.

As always, January brings new hope, but also new CVs as job seeking activity increases by about 37%.

Todays winner of the bizarre CV award goes to this chap who sent me his CV which included this unusual image of (I presume) his eyes.

Portfolio exhibition at Shillington Graphic Design College

Talent Spotting is the name of the game so I was flattered to be invited to attend the portfolio exhibition at Shillington Graphic Design College last night.

The show took place in the trendy Hoxton Gallery and included some interesting print, branding and data visualising projects with a touch of digital design.

The show takes a folio-led approach with students on hand to talk about their work on display, which gives visitors a good insight into their style, ideas and techniques used.

Some of the work on show featured posters of visualisation experimenting with colour, typography and imagery.

This was an intimate and interesting show and we were very impressed with the level of work and the motivated attitude of the graduates.
