Investigating Designers - Study Task 2

Investigating 3 professional's careers, thinking about things such as:
- Place of work, studio, office, desk?
- Type of work, associates, approach.
- Business model, finance, hours.
- Employees, employment, job role.

If we find out the basic stuff we can then ask more interesting questions in the interview to dig a bit deeper.

SHEFFIELD BASED WORK:

Totally Okay

Price of Work:
On Shop - Prints range from £20-£150
Tote Bag - £15

INTERVIEW:
How would you describe your work?
Simple, bold, sometimes irreverent, occasionally irrelevant. I seem to be moving and diffusing into pattern and line recently too, at least in my personal work. I’m developing this dichotomy of simple shapes and characters, and dense complex patterns.

What inspires you?
Print, texture, type. The smell of summer, the sound of a stream, a hug.

What’s your workspace like?
I share a studio with Lord Bunn; we have a lovely space by the river at Kelham Island.

What do you love about Sheffield?
It’s a great cosy city with a busy community of creatives, and it’s super close to the hills, so if you do want to escape the buildings and hubbub it doesn’t take long to lose yourself in the Peak District.

What would you do to improve the city?
A little bit warmer please.

Thinking about looking into Sheffield designers and the community there, what it's like to work there as a creative.


Now Then Magazine

- How much does it cost to produce the magazine?

Block Projects

Established in 2002, Bloc Projects is a contemporary arts organisation in the centre of Sheffield.

STUDIOS:

Anyways

We explore new ways for brands to communicate and then we create them — partnering closely with our clients, working hard to understand them and their customers, and then designing the right solution for each brief. We then work with our extensive network of collaborators to bring each project to life with the best creative talent in the world.
