Jonathan Pickford likes to colour co-ordinate with rust acceleration chemicals I accidentally consumed on a sandwich a few months ago, that lead to an interesting convocation with some lovely chaps at the bureaux of poisons.
Validated.
Helped support AS graphic students in their exam last year as part of professional practice… A lot of them showed up to the first day of the exam with only a rough idea of what they wanted to do (eg. “something about a spa… Maybe? …I’m not gay!”) and no prep work what so ever. This year, I got this message…
“Just finished writing my evaluation for my graphics exam and remembered the push you gave me last year ;)
And this time I was the most prepared in my exam! :)”
I love graphic design so much it’s a genuine struggle to articulate, but i don’t love it even half as much as i love teaching it. The time i spent with those classes was THE MOST rewarding… There is something unparalleled about definitively knowing what it is you were made for, where it is that you fit and i want to thank this guy for, after a truly crushing year, reminding me what and where that is.
ps. He got a ‘C’, which is pretty impressive for someone that only got interested in design the first day of the final exam and wasn’t planing on continuing to the second year.
acid etching is AWSOME!!! (this is a sample piece, not my work)
This is a thing I worked on for Ardie Collins with Matt Hargreaves, Jack Wood, Richard Staff, Matt Vahey and Sarah Tehan… Also I’m madebyboys on that there youtube.
