sssh! Secret Salford Show


Andy and I decided to take a trip down to Salford University’s Graphic Design Degree Show last night, to see what all the fuss was about. (pics and links below)



We arrived at the Dale Street venue and I have to say the look and feel of the venue was fantastic. The building was very grungy and really complimented the work that was being displayed.

The students had clearly made an effort to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of Andy for the food (The reason there was none left is because he scoffed the lot)

We didn't get time to view everybody's work, but the overall standard blew us both away. The students evidently have a strong understanding of the need to craft type, consider colour palettes, and pay close attention to presentation - not to mention the ability to generate original ideas and concepts.

We met some very credible Graphic Design graduates who are likely to have exciting careers ahead of them. From the team at Orchard, Digital, Creative and Marketing Recruitment we would like to wish them all the best.

Before I sign off I would like to give a mention to some of the young designers we had the pleasure of meeting, with links to their work. Apologies to anyone we’ve not mentioned!
