HASTINGS

Spent all day in Hastings, joint organised by Martin O'neill of Cut It Out studio. Exploring junkshops galore! eating fish and chips, and having a pint with some amazing fellow designers...

Chris Watson showed us how his comic book style sketchbooks full of motorcycling references have developed into book covers and clothes design.

Gary Neill's signature"strong simple ideas" and great quality paper demonstrated how beautiful editorial design can be, when given the right attention and paper!

Whilst my favourite, Scott Garrett's whimsical character design and typography raised some smiles, even if some ended up a bit guiness stained! 

Finally Tim Marrs, demonstrated how despite his digital collage style being much imitated, keeping an edge with impressive collaborations can keep you on top. Winning design and advertising awards for his illustrations for a 3-d Audi commercial.

Thanks guys!
