The Remedy gang all trooped off to West Kent College on Tuesday, to see Sam’s (our junior designer) degree show. We first spotted Sam’s potential at the Graphic Design Higher Diploma end of year show, in 2008. This year he has completed his BA ‘top-up’ course and it has to be said, his work looked the business!!
Particularly liked his ‘My-tunes’ poster – a typographic representation of all the music he’s been listening to over the last year.
The show was of a much higher standard overall this year. There’s no doubt, there’s a really good crop of local creative talent out there. We’re just glad we grabbed Sam before the competition got their mits on him.
The fine art show was also really inspiring. One artist in particular caught my eye. Tracey Gurr’s set of drawings, ‘The Objective representation of Schizophrenia’, hit me like a ton of bricks, from the other side of the room. Each piece is a good 4 feet square and constructed in black pen, from intricate geometric shapes. They are both beautiful and unnerving in equal measure. You can see more of Tracey’s work at http://www.four-degrees.co.uk/
If they don’t both get a 1st, I’ll eat my pencil case!
