Who’d have thought that a Neville Brody exhibition at the V&A could have changed the life of one designer so profoundly. But that’s exactly what happened to designer Tom Hingston writes Martin Maher. He initially studied at the London College of Printing before going onto Central St Martins. The Neville Brody connection didn’t end there either. Tom’s tutor Jon Wozencroft worked with Neville Brody and encouraged Tom to go along for an interview for a junior designer position […]
With the never ending debates over whether ‘print is dead’ you could argue that with this latest project from Moving Brands that the final nail has been hammered into the coffin.

3 Deep Design are a sophisticated bunch and rightly so. They openly admit that creativity is no longer enough in a such a rapidly changing world of communication and that it’s time to delve deeper. Their strategic approach must be paying off because there are some beautifully executed pieces of work emerging from that Melbourne studio of theirs.

Not only are they doing a sterling job educating business around the value of design but they are managing to stock their awards cabinet at the same time. And as if this wasn’t time […]
There aren’t that many characters in the history of graphic design that could be compared to rock ‘n’ roll stars, says Martin Maher in this weeks installment of Masters Monday. Sure there have been the likes of David Carson, Peter Saville and Stefan Sagmeister but these chaps pale in comparison to one Mr Robert Brownjohn, a man so cool even the Rolling Stones wanted to hang with him. He lived fast and he died young […]
