Here is our place to come together as a class to post your projects and to comment on each other's work. In addition to the project work, each week you will post a short review of the work of a graphic designer found from the list of 68 Graphic Designers posted in week 1 on the syllabus. Two posts are expected from each student... project work and review work. Each counts as one attendance.

Angus Hyland
Born in 1963 in English town Brighton, Angus Hyland mainly focused in graphic design. His education started at the London College of Printing, where he first majored in information design, before attending the Royal College of Art where he studied Graphic Art and Design. He successfully ran a studio in London’s Soho from 1988, and later in 1998 became a partner in Pentagram. His clientele base is very extensive and includes both public and private sectors. These clienteles include the BBC, British Museum, Asprey, the Crafts Council, Getty Images, Nokia, Phaidon Press, Citibank, Samsung, Sage, Royal Academy of Arts, Shakespeare’s Globe and many more others. His impressive curriculum vitae earned him an appointment as creative director in the Laurance King Publishing in 2005. At the publishing firm, he is in charge of every aspect of brand design and management, and is tasked with the responsibility of conceptualizing innovative book ideas.
Hyland has been awarded hundreds of creative awards and was rated one of the best ten designers from the United Kingdom. His D&AD Yellow Pencils award is one of his most notable recognitions. The British Council assigned him curator of the “Picture This” exhibition, which featured illustrative works of artists from London. Another exhibition for which he worked as a curator is the “Ballpoint”, which featured abstract works from fifty artists. He has edited at least five known books, and was designated as a associate of Alliance Graphique Internationale. A recipient of the Master of Arts honorary degree from Surrey Institute of Art and Design, he is married to Marion Deuchars, an illustrator.

Good Gary... seeing design from an international perspective is very important.
