Every year Universities from a round the country gather together in Earls court. Its an opportunity to show case up and coming talent, but mainly an excuse to check out the competition and pick up free postcards.
Two pieces of my work were selected to contribute to the Bath Spa University stand; a poster from a collection of four entitled 'A collection of words' bright proverb based hand drawn text posters, and a design research book that dealt with symbols within graphic design.
During the three day exhibition a panel of professionals view the work on show and discuss the work. They also go so far as offering awards for 'Best new Blood'. My poster was fortunate enough to be chosen (along with Wayne Smith from Bath Spa- great typographer) fro one of these awards. About 30 students were chosen out of thousands of examples of work, so I feel quite privileged to be amongst the few. As a winner we are awarded free membership to the DandAd for a year, entrance into the talent pool show case of work, and the benefit of their graduate placement scheme. Thank you DandAd!
