Education
-
1st Class BA(hons) Graphic DesignCumbria Institute of the Arts1993 - 1997Back in 1997, still at Uni, I really wanted a mobile phone and so took commissions for work with Carnaud Metal Box to produce a beverage can, fabric design for Stead McAlpine and undertook branding work for Carlisle Business Forum. The phone was Siemans, it was a brick with a huge radio speaker at the top. On my course I took classes in Design History of Furniture, Semiotics, Colour Theory, Photography, Packaging Design, Editorial Design, Illustration and Product Design.
