Over the past few years we have been interviewing, gathering work, and designing ‘I used to be a design student’ our first ever book as authors/editors/designers due out on February 2013. The book looks at the process a designer goes through in finding their ‘voice’. We asked fifty influential designers to give us the low-down about their student days and their professional lives. A piece of their college work is shown alongside an example of current work. Each designer also offers a key piece of advice and a warning, making this a must-read for anyone embarking on a career in design. Topics addressed include how ideas are researched and developed; design and other cultural influences, then and now; positive and negative aspects of working as a designer; motivations for becoming a designer; and whether it's really possible to teach design.

To celebrate our anniversary we’ve printed ‘Inbox’, a set of three posters with a selection from ten years of incoming mail. This is a representative selection, not just the positive or amusing ones, but also the bad, the confused, the dull and the ridiculous, each one an inseparable part of the design process. (Comes rolled in a cardboard tube.)
PayPal £10 / set of 3 posters (RED/GREEN/BLUE) / 420×594mm (A2)
