Here’s an update I should have posted a while ago. This year I’ve been lucky enough to have worked on two exhibitions shown at the Lighthouse gallery in the centre of Glasgow. This exhibition celebrates the common wealth games which will come to Glasgow next. My main area of focus for the show was the enormous map (hand re-drawn in 3 days) and information graphics placed on the wall opposite.
My final year at Art School is now complete, all the work has been handed in and hung in the annual degree show exhibition. I only have a few weeks left before loosing my student status and so, as all the work has been completed, I have updated this website with the very last of my student work. What has been added is all 4th year work and the culmination of my degree. I encourage anyone interested in design of all types to visit this years Glasgow School of Art degree show which opens to the general public on the 10th of June. This years Visual Communications show is the largest and most varied the school has ever put on and contains many exciting pieces from rising stars, I promise that we have all worked extremely hard to make the space particularly unique this year as it will be the last show in the current building before it is knocked down.
If you happen to run or work for a studio and are interested in attending the designers evening before the show opens to the public, feel free to get in contact and I will see if there are any spare tickets available.
Whilst out and about in this foul weather we’ve all been experiencing I stumbled across a pop shop in the princess square arcade setup by a glasgow based headphones manufacturer Audio Chi. It’s certainly interesting to see a glasgow based independent audio manufacturer with a distinct emphasis on design.
It was great to chat to their lead product designer about the headphones in store and really find out about what makes the company tick, trying to find the perfect price point to sound and design ratio. My particular favourite part of the headphone design is the fabric breaded cables that detach from the headphone to reduce the need for repairs and damage to the headphones. I’ll certainly be interested to see what they produce in the future.
