Design Employment

Continuing the theme from our last post, we would also recommend taking a look at the following website: http://www.graphic-design-employment.com/

From Job interview tips, to introductions to core skills, this site is worth a look.

What - after College

We have had a lot of new graphic design and other graduates contact us over the last couple of weeks. Some good, some not so good. So we thought we'd have a look at what ideas and advice there is on the internet for graduates finding themselves in the job market for the first time.

We found these articles:
Here is one. click
Here is another one. click

Or to check out the competition, visiting Free Range is a good place to start.

Coke - long overdue

We just came past another interesting article regarding the new look (not design) for Coca Cola. For little more detail click here.

The Ancient Way

As the ancient Romens did it. Spotted on the 'Via dell'Amore'. (the Path of Love for all you non Italians out there).

Interesting that not much has changed in the last 2000 years when it comes to classic Serif Typefaces.

Coke recycles cans and poster in sculpture stunt

Coca-Cola is celebrating Recycle Week with a 50-metre sculpture on the Sussex coast made from 200,000 used aluminium cans.

The 'Precious Metal' artwork is inspired by a Coca-Cola poster from 1949 that shows a lady sunbathing and the drinks giant hopes it will encourage people to recycle more this summer.

Coca-Cola citizenship manager Liz Lowe said: "We want to inspire people to think twice about binning their empty bottles and cans. An empty drinks can that you recycle today could be back on the shelf as a brand new on in just six weeks."

At the end of the week, all the cans will be recycled which will save enough energy to power a television constantly for 70 years, Coca-Cola said.

Coca-Cola commissioned artist Robert Bradford, production designer Paul Cross, aerial photographer Jason Hawkes and Norfolk Environmental Waste Services to create the artwork.
