Alex Dyson / Pencilwound
Who am I?
I am a graphic design student currently developing myself & my creative practice at Leeds College of Art. I have an unmistakable interest in branding & visual identity, & a love for working with anything that involves solving a problem with a contextualised & well executed solution. Pencilwound is the name of my creative practice. I wanted to present myself with a quality that is unique to me and will stay with whoever crosses my work. When I was young, I got in a fight with a kid called J贸se who used to bully me when I was about 9 years old. During this playground fight, J贸se grabbed a pencil and stabbed me in the arm with it. To this day, there is still grey scarring on my arm where I was stabbed with that pencil. I have never met anyone else with anything similar so I feel it identifies me in a way. Something different about me, however, now completely relevant to my every day creative practice.
