What is Graphic Design?

Alistair Hall from We Made This contributed his answers to 'What is Graphic Design?' The idea of cutting back the words to provide a simple answer struck me and inspired the next two posters (above). This inspired the cut out technique.
Words from Alistair, design by me.

Lisbon. Spain. Morocco

I spent 3 weeks of my summer in Lisbon, Spain and Morocco. Saw brilliant places and things, met interesting people and generally felt inspired and brimming with new ideas.

Proctors and Stevenson

I spent a weeks placement at Proctors and Stevenson
in Bristol this summer. It was great to experience 'real' work, with a well established firm. I had a mini project of logo design and branding for ESDIN and spent lots of time chatting to people about their roles, a great insight. Got the chance to visit a real live printers, which was great. Thanks to Mike Cain, creative director for all his help and knowledge.
Here's an example of a letter format with the logo I designed, all this corporate malarkey is new to me, but I like it a surprising amount!

Harrington and Squires

Spent a lovely morning at Harrington and Squires a few weeks back.
H&S are letterpress printers and designers Vicky Fullick and Chrissie Charlton.
They shared their extensive knowledge, examples of lots of great work and an impressive book collection.
It's an amazing studio, dubbed the corridor due to it being only 1.2 meters wide. Vicky and Chrissie were very accommodating and clearly have great intelligence and witt when it come to typography and metal type.
