WELCOME
ampersand magazine a look at:
design, poetry, opinion, fashion, music, photography, blogs, illustration and more..... If you are reading this it means that you have taken the time to either view the magazine at issuu.com, or have downloaded it (legally or illegally we don’t mind!). For that, I would like to thank you and your support in this new venture. Since graduating from university I have worked in the graphic design industry and more recently applied my knowledge and experience of the subject to the area of education. Through this it has allowed me the opportunity to experience and nuture fresh new creatives, as they develop their passion skills for design. Whilst I primarily am focused on the graphic design industry, I feel inspired and absorbed by the full creative world to find inspiration and work together to show the range of creative skills that the world has to offer! This magazine will only work with the contributions and effort of others, so if you are a student and want a showcase for some of your work, or a graduate looking for more exposure or even an enthusiast just wanting to show your creative side, contribution is key! At this point I would just like to thank those people who took the time to contribute to this first issue, and you shall see their efforts over the next 50 odd pages! Each issue will hopefully showcase lots of different design and inspiration, so no matter how big or small, Ampersand will be here for you. Editor.

The
Paper Shapes
MUSIC Bromsgrove. A town not known for much other than being pretty much in the centre of the country, and between two junctions of the M5 motorway. No standout venues, no stand out cultural signifiance but definitely a lot of young people looking for a way out of this most basic of towns. The Paper Shapes, are just one of a multitude of up and coming bands that have been formed by such individuals. The six piece band, Will Brazier, Olly Smith, Alex Helmore, Jess Banner and with two brothers in the band, Josh and Theo Mitchell, could be compared to the way Oasis formed, looking at the world around them and trying to vocalise their loves, lives and aspirations at odds with their hometown. Their formation came from the ashes of a previous band some of the members previously performed in, ‘The Gildays’.
The Gildays were formed whilst they were in school and provided some of the guys the perfect opportunity to hone some of their natural perfoming qualities, none more so than the lead vocalist Will Brazier. All arms and legs, and cutting an imposing and captivating figure on stage, Brazier comes across as a genuinely charasmatic front man who on stage grabs hold of the audience and drags them through the the set of uptempo, well written material from start to finish. Their live shows, whilst still catering for the small venues are performed as if they were playing to a sold out O2 Arena, getting the crowd worked up and singing along to their catchy songs and making even the smallest of venue bounce along to their beat. Not the easiest feat considering this writer has seen many more larger bands fail to get the whole audience playing to their tune and giving
From L to R: Alex Helmore, Jess Banner, Theo Mitchell, Will Brazier, Josh Mitchell & Olly Smith
everyone there an an excellent value for money experience. Having performed with the Little Comets and more recently the up and coming (read, soon to be massive) Leeds based outfit Middleman, the group most definitely are utilising these experiences to develop their own look, sound and feel. One thing is clear is that The Paper Shapes never look out of place when paired up on the same bill as these more experienced bands, and you will often see the members of other bands holding off getting ready for their set to drink in their performances. To label them as ‘another indie band’ would be doing all the members a total disservice. The way that their sound has been crafted along with the beautifully thought out lyrics and catchy hooks, it is only a matter of time before the venue size they are playing to slowly increases, and they end up headling more and more events. Their anthemic songs such as Tonight and Secrets, which are already getting some exposure and airplay, and Blood From a Stone are all songs that blast out and deserve to be heard within a large forum, to be bounced and sung along to with your arms around your mates, screaming back the catchy hooks and moments which just explode in the venues they have played so far. It is this that really seperates The Paper Shapes from the plethora of underground ‘indie’ bands out there strumming along on their pristine Fender guitars and Topman outfits. These lads are putting their hearts and soul into not only their performances but in their obivious talent of crafting good music, biding their time and paying their dues. After being compared to another successful Birmingham based band, The Enemy, it can only be hoped that they emulate their lead by breaking into the mainstream, but there is one thing for sure, thankfully, they’ll do it their way....

OPINION
words by Adam J Pritchett
I love crafts, I spend most hours in my day thinking about new ideas to make things, different ways that I could have done this and all of the fascinating artists that I find as inspiration for that. No matter how I look at it, I live and breathe crafts and making, so it really disturbs me when I am forever hearing about how yet another vital resource has shut down and how yet more funding has been pulled from crucial institutions. My own personal experience at university has been somewhat tainted by the department that I use and love most being ‘downsized’ to make room for new studios that will not even be available to me, it inevitably will limit the work that I can produce. For me the only thing that I think this does is to prove detrimental to every single other department that has a creative outlet, which in a school of art & design is everyone. Closing down departments such as this is just hindering the creativity of potentially brilliant, innovative, fresh young designers. I know and understand that things such as this are happening all over the country, we are in a recession, but what effect is this going to have on the next generation of designers? Are they just going to have no hands-on experience with the making of an idea, just a virtual version on a computer, it seems to be the way of the mass managed courses within a learning environment to not show enough importance of say, craft in a product design course. Coming from a heavily bespoke, hand-made background where I thrive to see the creative process, seeing the ideas in a sketchbook enthuses me more than the final object, it’s not a happy thought that practical experience is not being taught unless it ticks the curriculum boxes. So when I walk into an industrial design studio within my university it really shocks me to see nothing on the walls, nothing on the desks,
nothing vaguely inspirational around. Having that crafty, tactile essence is what helps to inspire us and provoke new interesting ideas, students aren’t being pushed to make and research enough, craft plays a vital role for the designer and shouldn’t be taken for granted in any subject area. What place is the hand-made going to play in our future? I am hopeful that it will, well and truly will thrive, but looking at the creative place in industry the only people that give me confidence are the older, experts in their fields, the knowledge is not being passed on through higher education like it once was. Fewer an fewer opportunities are now available to graduates so their talents are going to waste, the creative community needs to pull together and communicate to share knowledge, give opportunities when we can and the young designers need to be prepared to work as hard as they can and find the passion that is going to drive them into being successful. I believe that crafts is not dead, or dying, I think that we need to inspire and help to keep crafts and making alive. Making something with your hands no matter if it doesn’t look as perfect as a mass made version, is beautiful. What have you done recently that has inspired a new idea, how did it come about, what will you do next and what are you going to do about it? These are all questions we should be asking ourselves on a daily basis to keep our passion and drive for our subjects alive, that is the only way that creativity is ever going to keep growing, staying obsessed with your subject will help you to keep it from ever dying out. www.therhumboogie.com tweet @TheRhumboogie
POETRY
Ode to You, Hipster Boy The labyrinth between his over-gauged earlobes is for too eccentric for anything other than technicolor flannel. By day he marks his body to stand out in a crowd so at underground shows, he fits in. His tight girl jeans willingly tell the shape of his lanky thighs and knobby knees. Black plastic glasses tap on his viewfinder and prove to the world and girls with ripped jeans that he is a sensitive artist. His lackluster act is a predictable trap to disguise his typical teenage needs. Melancholy antics earn her trust, then woo her with humor and wandering hands. American Spirits and mosh pit sweat add funk and soul to his trademark beanie. His Vans are veteran Pabst can crushers. Movies are insignificant. He watches films that expand his theories of anarchy and give him an edge against others who he assumes are lacking intellect like his. His messenger bag button pins render him vegan (‘and loving it!) He is not a nugget. Sober critics know he’s a late night fraud when he hot boxes alone in the TBell drive thru. His garage is an aerosol rebel exhibit backdrop where is band plays in dank keys of loud. They’ll make it big with their single, “Even My Mustache Is Vintage”. Abby Talbert sparemethetitle.tumblr.com

FILM
INDIANA JONES
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK As a little boy, I had two dreams. One to be a designer. The other to be Indiana Jones. Join me on the journey as I unearth just why I love Indiana Jones so much.....
FILM Who would have thought that the story of a university professor that taught archaeology would entertain so many people that it would spawn a franchise of four feature films and a television series based on his younger years? Stephen Speilberg and George Lucas it would seem thought just that, and thankfully it was his extra-curricular activites that gripped us through this amazing adventure ride, starting with the Raiders of the Lost Ark.... The second greatest film of all time, according to Empire Magazine’s top 500 films of all time, was one as a child, and now as an adult I love more than any. Never had I seen a film that excited me so much and kept me gripped from start to finish. You see, as a child of the 80s I have been spoilt with fantastical stories of adventure, friendship and excitement. After his starring (and some would say scene stealing) role in Star Wars, Harrison Ford was recruited to play a mild mannered lecturer of archaeology, who just happened to be as far away from someone you would encounter on Time Team. He did not painstakingly dig trenches and brush dirt away with a little brush, no, he nailed his colours to the post as soon as the film begain. In a now many lampooned opening scene, who else can forget the jump over the pit, swapping of the idol, and the final dash from the impending doom of being squashed by a huge boulder hurtling down the narrow passageway. As a child, this was it. I have no idea as a child how many times I recreated this scene, in the house, the garden or with friends . Memorably, I remember falling down the stairs with a dressing gown belt in one hand, a teddy bear in the other and a giant hat, too big for my head, (probably the main cause of ending up in a heap) recreating this scene. In a short 10 minute segment, Indiana Jones
became my hero. This is what I wanted to be when I grew up, a fearless adventuring lecturer of archaeolgy.... You see, this was not a new concept in film making, it took inspiration from the 1930s b-movie adventure films, usually screened as matinees , they were meant as family films to watch and experience together, Indiana Jones recreated that perfectly. The story inspiring the adventurer inside us all, the nods and winks that the adults got which flew like a Messerschmitt over the heads of children like me.
The ‘golden idol’ - more trouble than it was worth!
The story in Raiders of the Lost Ark is as simple as they come, find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis do. As a child this was easy to follow, and it was easy to pinpoint the ‘good’ guys and the ‘bad’ guys. Horses. tanks, planes, submarines - adventure was endless! Now, a memorable part of the first three Indiana Jones films there was always a huge bad guy that Indiana had to fight, this guy was usually played by the British actor Pat Roach, whom sadly is no longer with us. Fortunately, as a child both of my parents were members of the Pat Roach gym, situated in the centre of Birmingham. Whilst waiting on the chairs I usually had to sit on to wait for them to finish whatever gym stuff they were doing, a tall, very tall in fact, man with a big
beard pitched up aside me in this narrow little, fairly beige (if my memory serves me correct) waiting area. Now, today we would probably be wary of a huge bearded man pitching up next a young lad, but I was unconcerned really, as he started chatting along to me, asking me how I was, who I was waiting for etc etc, then he asked “have you seen Indiana Jones?” At this point he had my attention. After probably too excitedly confirming this as only a little lad could, he said, “stay there, i’ll be back in a moment..” When he returned he had a picture frame in his hand, he asked me if I recognised the person in the picture, it was this big guy Indiana fights as I mentioned before - after I said that I did recognise this person he calmly said, “that’s me!” I cannot quite remember how I took this news, but I do remember him continuing to tell me stories about Indiana Jones. In my quieter moments even now I wish that I could remember some of the intracies of the stories he recounted. At the time, I could not believe it, he may as well have been Indiana Jones himself! This affable, mountain of a man, must have looked a sight sat next to my small, young frame but the adventures he talked about and the stories he told me about Indiana Jones made me feel like I was part of the adventure.
What I do remember is asking him whether I could be Indiana Jones. Doing what any adult would probably have done in that situation he told me in his fantastically calming Cornish accent, “of course you can son, anyone can have adventures!” I am pretty sure that it was not long after this meeting that the falling down the stairs episode happened... I used to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark all the time on video when I went to my nans, which was pretty much all the time due to my parents working full time, hence why the sitting round during gym visits. From this I used to pretend to be Indiana Jones all the time, using anything as a whip, pretending to swipe the idol (the glass ornaments that adorned my nan’s mantlepiece usually!). As with any child, my interest in Indiana Jones waned as newer shinier things came along, in my case Transformers, and although he was replaced, I always enjoyed watching the film, and reliving my brush with Indiana Jones royalty. I returned to the gym a few times more, waiting for my parents to finish their routines, always anticipating seeing the story teller once more, to fill my life with fantastical stories about the wonder of Indiana Jones, but alas I never saw him again - but I did see the picture, hanging pride of place on the wall, right above where I always sat.

FASHION&BEAUTY product review of the month
LA NUIT DE L’HOMME YVES SAINT LAURENT
With so many new fragrances on the market being shoved under your nose in your local perfume emporium, you could do worse than picking up this excellent fragrance from YSL. Translated to ‘The Night of the Man’ it truly is just that, a superb opulent fragrance that transcends many mid-range priced fragrances out there, rich enough to stand up to an evening out, but yet light enough to wear throughout the day. The longevity of the fragrance is superb (anywhere between 6-10 hours depending on what you are doing) meaning that it is fantastic value for money as you are not having to reapply constantly throughout the day as you have to with the drydown of many similar scents. With undertones of chocolate, vanilla, bergamot, cedar and cardamom, it truly is a autumn/winter fragrance that will always get you noticed and complimented. Many girls have commented positively on the fragrance, always moving in to get a good sniff, drawn usually in by the hints of the chocolate and vanilla! The packaging is excellent and the bottle is heavy and feels substantial in your hand as you spray, and the cap is lovely and oversized so it is incredibly hard to lose. The one downside is the clip from the lid, where it clips to the bottle can be a bit brittle, and has broken on one of the bottles, but it still fits well. The smoked glass of the bottle evokes a late 1970s feel, a time when men were men, and men also had perms……but don’t let that put off at all, I mean just look at the amazing typography on the bottle! In conclusion it is a fantastic mid-range fragrance with aspirations to join the big boys in the fragrance world. So put down the Joop and Coolwater this year and treat yourself (or your significant other) to an aftershave that you both will actually like! Yves Saint Laurent: La Nuit De L’Homme is available at most main aftershave stockists for between £30 - £50 depending on size.

OPINION
? T
he end of year shows can make or break certain establishments, with them either reflecting the hard work, and fabulous creativity that is bred among their students; or they can reflect on just how out of touch courses, lecturers, or universities are out of touch with modern design or the industry. Two shows I have recently attended have shown these points to good effect. The first show I saw reflected that the calibre of work that the students on the course had produced just did not sit where you would expect degree level students to be from an industry perspective. Fundamental elements such as typography, and imagery were just poorly executed, and after paying for three years
worth of specialist education I would have expected the students to have been more knowledgeable and creative as to not have used comic sans on final pieces of work without a sense of irony. One thing that did surprise me was that the graphic designers in the show all virtually used stock or found images which I think is not the way to learn, because most of the time as a designer, you have to source images yourselves, otherwise where is the originality? Most consultancies will have someone in-house who is either a trained, or at least a very good photographer - and although you may feel that this is of little importance to a degree student,
when they are showing their final degree work off, that is centred around these ‘found’ images, it makes you question just how creative they actually are. How would they cope if they were faced with a ‘real’ graphic brief? It makes you think, what did they learn over the three years? In contrast the degree show I attended on Friday in Cardiff was sublime. Of course there were some exceptions to prove the rule, and i’m sorry if you are reading this, but the ‘Man-Tan’ concept was one of the boards that held my interest least, but on the whole, the creativeness and freshness of the design was leaps and bounds higher than the other degree show. Having attended Cardiff to undertake my degree, it is safe to say that the show would have blew our one some 7 years ago away, but at that time even then, design was a different scene. However, the lecturers are the same, and their approach to teaching is the same, the fundamental difference is that they constantly keep their eyes on the creative world, and inspire their students to do the same. As a lecturer myself, I feel as if I have taken this approach into my studio, and if the final major projects of my second year students is anything to go by, I think I have been a little bit successful.
“With the current economical climate, and with tuition fees set to soar to £9000 a year, now more than ever it is time for students to really explore what they are getting for their money at universities.” What was evident at the first University show I have referred to, is that the illustration course seemed to have a wonderful grasp on the freshness of design, and more surprisingly, a wonderful grasp of good typography. Some pieces were exquisite, and I hope that the quality of their work shined through to industry experts that attended the show. With the current economical climate, and with tuition fees set to soar to £9000 a year, I think now more than ever it is time for creative students to really explore what they are getting for their money at universities. Are they getting a well rounded course that allows them to learn crucial commercial lessons to take
into the industry? Or are they getting a course that allows them to be experimental with design, but with less emphasis on how they can translate this into the real world? Or are they getting a course that is out of date and prepares them to fail in the industry, or to at least not reach their full potential? The end of year shows can mostly represent this in a succinct manner. Even when talking to students you can understand how passionate they are for the course, either good or bad. The guys I spoke to at the first show couldn’t really talk about their designs with any enthusiasm, but at Cardiff they were bouncing to talk. There is no doubt to if I were hiring, I would have taken at least a dozen Cardiff designers, but maybe one of the others, in fact I would have employed some of the illustrators as graphic designers instead! All this brings me round to my students final show. I have been so impressed with their work ethic, and creativity this year, and each project reflects this in a positive way. I know that after discussing their final major projects with another lecturer, pouring over the in-depth book work, lavishly reading their annotations I have ended up with something that I am not only proud of, but knocked the socks off the other lecturer, and that will show just how talented my students actually are. They are at a crucial stage of their development as designers, but the commitment and creativity they deliver makes me anticipate their degree shows in three years time even more! Because they are only 18/19 and have yet to even start their degrees, but I would welcome any other students or lecturers from universities to come and actually just see the talent on offer, because in some universities they would be jealous of the rich talent on offer here, and envy the degree level work they are already creating. But for all prospective university students out there wanting a career in the design industry, ask yourself - what is my uni doing for me? by Adam James.

In his own eloquent words..... “Dan Burgess is a self-taught Graphic Designer currently based in Glasgow (West End), Scotland. He is also an avid writer, doodler and filmmaker, although sadly, talking in the third person is not one of his talents...(so I'll stop!) The realisation that my passion lay in design, and my decision to pursue this path, came while I was studying filmmaking - it was soon clear that I found more excitement in creating posters for my films than the films themselves! I'm a Yorkshire lad but my addiction for new experiences has led me to live in both Canada and Australia, and have spent several years travelling six continents. The world is getting smaller and I am ready to seize any opportunities that come my way!�

LAURA CHILDS, ILLUSTRATOR, 22, MALVERN WORCESTER UK
laurachildsillustrations.tumblr.com
ILLUSTRATION Laura Child’s illustrations came to my attention through her Tumblr blog, then through her online portfolio. Laura is an up and coming illustrator from Malvern in Worcestershire and her work is fabulously unique. I sat down with her to find out more about this brilliant illustrator. Laura: I live in the dreary bubble that is Malvern, and I love to escape to big cities and new places for inspiration. I grew up knowing I had an interested in drawing, yet through my education I was pushed into fashion designing and making clothes. This soon changed when I went to Hereford College of Arts to do a foundation course. They saw that my style of art in general was more illustration led and suggested that maybe fashion illustration was more the ‘thing’ for me. I am now in my final year at Worcester University, and the key elements of my work revolve around fashion and editorial illustration. Ampersand: Who are your influences and why? L: Although I have many influences for my work, however, there is one illustrator that stands out above others, simply because I saw her work and knew that I wanted my work to have the same impact hers does on me. Sarah Beetson, an Illustrator who currently lives in Sydney but spent many years working in London within the fashion industry. The illustrations she produces are incredible; so vibrant and bursting with life and energy. It’s easy to see her work is influenced by popular culture; her work is very current and fresh. Nadia Flower, Tayla Baldwin, Ben Tallon and Mydeadpony are a few other illustrators that I feel influence me majorly.
ILLUSTRATION A: What is it that makes your illustrative style different? L: Although there are a lot of fashion illustrators out there, I don’t believe my work is too similar to anyone else’s. I use a collection of techniques to produce iIllustrations that I feel are a very fresh and quirky approach. The combination of very detailed fine line pen against the bold, block flat colour residing underneath the pen line is one technique that I have not seen much of. I guess its sort of juxtaposition as two completely different techniques are thrown together and work; yet they shouldn’t. In my work, I don’t really focus too much upon the background of the illustrations as I feel this can sometimes deter from the initial focus. Instead. I like to keep things simple with shapes and patterns that are used in a way to compliment the most important features. A: What other designers/artists work out there do you really like? L: Egon Schiele was a fine artist but I’m very inspired by his work. The way he drew the human body is just simply beautiful and even though his men and women are totally disproportioned in the way they are drawn, it is completely original, and I feel that a perfectly drawn human figure is an uninteresting one; it’s nothing new. Something completely different to artists and illustrators is a fashion designing company called Heatherette. I take a lot of inspiration from their fashion garments when it comes to shapes, colour and pattern, their work is very unique and quite simply stunning! A: Where do you see yourself taking your illustration work? L: After I finish University I plan on leaving Worcestershire and heading to either London or Toronto. I feel these to places have a massive Illustration community that I would benefit from greatly. I believe there is much more inspiration and motivation to be grasped when living in such a lively, exciting place. I definitely want to carry on with fashion illustrating. It’s something that is becoming
much more popular in the fashion industry. There has been an increased usage of illustration in the digital print over the last few years and I think fashion advertising particularly uses a great deal of illustration in campaigns as it often has more spectrums for pinpointing the ethos of a brand that photography does. A: What would your dream illustrative job be? Why? L: I’m not entirely sure what my dream job as an illustrator would be. There is just so much I want to do! I guess with where I am right now, I could see myself living in London, working for a company where I can illustrate fashion advertisements/ editorial pieces and getting paid for something I love to do! A: What is your favourite piece of your work/why? L: I would have to say my favourite illustration I have done would be an alternative advertisement I did for Urban Outifitters as part of my project illustrating fashion magazine advertisements opposed to the bland, samey photography we are used to seeing. It’s a very simple piece, yet I really do love it and I feel it works very well. I used a cut of from a magazine of a hat and added it to the illustration and I do believe it adds something new and interesting to the piece. I was just very pleased with the layout, colour, pattern and style of it as a whole. A: What advice would you give to other budding illustrators out there? L: It sounds very predictable but just carry on doing what you love, be inspired by what you find exciting, if you find it hard to do something, it’s because your heart isn’t in it. Nothing should be a burden if you love what you do! I’m no way an established Illustrator, but I believe there is inevitably a lot of hard groundwork to be found behind success so keep working hard and don’t stop doing what you do! Interviewed by AJ.
