- Stamps for Royal Mail - Prospectus for MMU - Lots of sitting with nothing to do - Safe design - corporate.

Summary Although I got involved with interesting briefs the work environment was too corporate, the designers that worked there at the time (and have since quit) were unenthusiastic and bored of design.

Manifesto

Stay Enthusiastic Nobody likes a misery guts. Wether something is boring or not is all a matter of perspective.

Apart from bills, they’re chuffing boring, and banking, reading T&C’s, and hanging washing out, chuff that stuff.

Keep it Swingin’ The more you do, the more you want to do Keep plates spinning, take on anything that comes your way Get it done

Leaving things for a while and coming back to them brings a new perspective Worrying/ getting frustrated with something that isn’t looking good is coutner productive

That’ll do won’t do Do everything as thoroughly as possible Attention to detail is essential when working on actual work for actual people who are going to pay actual money to get it actually printed

Beg, borrow, steal Trying to create something compeltely original reults in a product that is unrelated to it’s purpose.

Combining bits that work and excluding bits that don’t

“If you steal from one person it's plagiarism but if you steal from plenty of people it is called research”

Sheet Happens Get through a load of sheets before trying to replicate on screen.
