Design Event Talks in Association with Newcastle College on 25th March 2009
Design Event is pleased to be bringing Adrian Shaughnessy, the self taught graphic designer and author of “How To Be A Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul”, back to Newcastle after his sold out talk last June.
An ‘in conversation with’ evening with Michael C. Place of Build on 25th March at 6pm, will be discussing Michael’s background, his career, how he founded graphic design studio Build, and talking about the studios output of work.
Michael is no stranger to Newcastle after learning his trade at Newcastle College. He went on to work at The Designers Republic in Sheffield for several years, before founding Build in 2001.
Build has since forged an international reputation as a forward-thinking studio, with an exceptional eye for detail and a unique sense of style, and is well-known for its passion for print, type and the craft of design. The studio produces a wide range of graphic work from illustration, brand identity, design and layout as well as art direction for print, websites and animation.
Build has shown its works in several exhibitions in the UK and abroad, most recently producing exclusive print artworks for display within The North Face stores in Japan.
Michael features in the 2007 film ‘Helvetica- A Documentary Film’, has spoken at numerous conferences worldwide, and has twice been a judge at the prestigious D&AD global awards. Clients include Getty Images, Nike, Design Museum London, D&AD, Sony Computer Entertainment and Faber&Faber publishing, amongst a host of smaller independents.
