#the50 at D&AD New Blood 2011

Yesterday afternoon I made my way to the Truman Brewery in London's Brick Lane to lend a hand at #the50 advice panel at D&AD New Blood 2011.

The idea is to bring established people within the creative industry (including a paper merchant, like me!) to talk to students one-to-one on all aspects of life-after-college.

Unfortunately I arrived late at the end of the day as it was all winding down, but it was a great idea and I can see from the people that I saw, that it can be a really useful thing to speak on a one to one basis to people working within the industry.

It was all organised by Jamie Wieck from Airside seen pictured here on the stand, along with Steven Bateman.

Here's a complete (I think?) list of people on the panel throughout the day (apologies for any missed off)

OK-RM
Alice Stevenson
Anna Fidalgo (Crispin Finn)
Richard Hogg
Sarah Jane Coleman (Inkymole)
Luke Pearson
Guy Moorhouse (Airside)
Mathew Wilson (With Associates)
Michael Bojkowski (ok interrupt)
Mia Frostner (Europa)
Emily Alston (Emily Forgot)
Maggie Li
Jack Cunningham (Colour Club)
Johnny Kelly
Steven Bateman

All in all, a really good idea and well done to Jamie for actually making it happen.

#the50 is coming to D&AD New Blood 2011

On Monday 4th July 2011, #the50 will be hosting an advice panel at D&AD New Blood 2011, bringing established creatives from all disciplines to talk to students one-to-one on all aspects of life-after-college. All organised by Jamie Wieck from Airside. www.jamiewieck.com

...and it struck Jamie that a paper merchant might be a good inclusion - so he asked me! The panel will be present for the entire day offering free advice and portfolio reviews for anyone who wishes to drop by (my slot is between 5-6pm)

Jamie Wieck - Designer and Illustrator

Yesterday I got a call from a designer at Airside called Jamie Wieck for some Colorset samples. We exchanged e-mails and a link to his blog was on the e-mail, which I clicked on and it's a great blog - have a look at: http://www.jamiewieck.com/

He is also an illustrator and below is pictured his amazing (and a little bit cheeky!) poster called "The Joy of Cycling" which was shortlisted for this summer's Association of Illustrators poster competition (unfortunately it didn't win).
