Who are you? Tom Squire

This is the interview I had with Tom, some interesting stuff that could contribute to his double page spread!

I also found out that he goes home at weekends to work at Tesco

From Toms blog I can see that he is very into Modernism!

Toms Work:



He Loves Cake







 "Modernism is perfection. I hadn't studied much design theory within my education previous to this course, however after attending the modernism lecture I have developed an obsession with the theories and ideologies of modernism. Since the lecture I have explored many works of modernism, began to introduce this thinking into my own and wrote my essay based upon modernism. I believe this type of design with grow from here and form a strong proportion of my design work. "

Good Design

I'm starting to appreciate good graphic design, and designing for an audience. I want to produce good work that is designed for the content rather than designed for me:
At the moment I'm getting too scared to stray away from my comfortable style when I should be creating broad work that doesn't need to have aesthetic fluency (between projects)
All of this work is by the same companies but looks completely different and fits the purpose.
