So I was extremely happy when I came across the first pair of graduates who happened to be from Leeds University!
I personally didn't know the pair, Joe Keirs and James Callahan, but after reading the article I became a lot more enthusiastic about returning to the course this year. They showed that with determination and a passion for what you want to do you can get what you want, illustrated by the fact that they were able to persuade tutors that they should be allowed to collaborate on projetcs where, as we all know, our final year is concentrated on our own individual work.
I also enjoyed reading about how they did a lot of their own work in their spare time as I have often done illustrations or made books but not thought they were of any importance simply because they were not givent o me in a brief format...now my perspective has changed and I am realising that work done out of the university guidelines can often be of great help to expand your work for briefs.
The favourite thing i came across was this, just because I liked the personal touch;

Other than our ouwn home grown talent there were some other really interesting designers in this issue.
One graduate that I thought stood out was Eilin Bergum who does a lot of hand made things which I believe is the reason her work stood out to be picked for this issue of creative review if you have time to look at her blog it is quite interesting to read about some of her projects: http://eilinbergum.com/
Lastly, two graduates from 'Communication Design' In Kingston caught my eye with a simple but genius project. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves but I thought it was a clever way to show something that designers might not always think about.
