Hasta La Ideas

The September issue of CR is all about this year’s graduates. We have given all our feature space over to eight eager, fresh-faced young creative types yearning to make their mark

They are:

James Callahan and Joe Keirs from University of Leeds

Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth from Kingston

Tomomi Sayuda from LCC

Mark Boardman from Falmouth

Tom Lovell from Lincoln (who also designed the cover this month)

And Eilin Bergum from Ravensbourne

As well as showing their work, we have also asked them about their hopes, dreams and fears about starting a career in visual communication. All of them will be showing their work at an exhibition that we are staging with Mother at Downstairs at Mother from September 3 to 12 (more on this soon)
