Earlier this year I subscribed to the American "How" magazine, as a way of expanding my mind into the world of Graphic Design.
I love receiving magazine subscriptions - it's like a little bit of Xmas every month, particularly when you're sooooo busy and you forget that you've signed up - and receive a nice surprise in the letter box (rather than the usual bill).Like all magazines, it's filled with advertisements (as this is where the funding comes from) but this Special Issue: August 2009 is the Creative Talent Issue and features 17 young up and coming artists. The styles are wide and varied from Illustrators to Photographers and Designers and begs the old question "What is Graphic Design" (now, let's not go there!)
What is interesting is the shared insight you gain from each individual, as they are all asked the same questions:
How did you realise you wanted to be a designer?
Who or what influences your work?
What's the best advice you've received?
What's you best way to break out of a creative rut?
All good tit bits for those of us making our way into the world of design.
