Received a ticket to 'IPEX' through the post this morning. Could there be a better way to make me feel any more special than printing my name on the front in some wacky interesting design. This is reflected through the inside of the flyer and as can be seen at the bottom of the flyer, I also get my own webpage with the personalised design reflected again. Little does it occur that everyone has the same thing but it works. 

For more information on the event visit IPEX.

Rebranding of Plymouth2

Myself, Mario and Iain helped out at the museum over Easter to get kids to think of their 'favourite location/memory of Plymouth'. All that we are collecting is reported back to the council and Lloyd Northover.

'Master of Swirls'

A few months ago I was working late at night, saw a designers work and just knew I had to share this with the world. Luckily, as chair of the Designers Society I could. 


On 5 May 2010 Si Scott, the world famous illustrator, came to present to the Designers Society. An incredibly talented creative; his insight into the realities of work produced and the way the creative industry really is was really great to hear.


One of the other benefits to leading the Designers Society is being able to spend a large amount of time talking directly to these creatives and Si is one of those really passionate individuals who's work shines out above the rest. What a genuine and friendly guy to be around and most definitely stay in touch! 

'Designers on Steroids'

It seems 2009/10 is the year Devon got creative and joined up with the rest of the country. Not only has the Designers Society grown and matured into something beyond my wildest dreams (and keep an eye on it as the plans I have set in motion for next year are going to be amazing) but 'Designed in Devon' has re-established itself as a leading south west networking group, Createxe has been formed by Michael Greenland and now Creative Brkfst has been formed by Nathan Davis of Tee-Design in Tavistock. 

It was nice to find this was in part inspired by what we are doing at the society leading Patrick's influence in full circle back into the industry. 

Anyway-

Today was the first Creative Brkfst and it was a huge success, selling all tickets. Michael Greenland presented a short lecture followed by a mammoth networking session with some amazing contacts made. Really gives inspiration that Devon is fast becoming the place to be for creative individuals!! (See photos of event)


Creative Brkfst runs every first friday of the month and worth visiting to see what they are about.
