As three young and aspiring designers, we plan to curate a gallery space in Portobello (Golborne rd.), showcasing up-and-coming visual communicators. Alongside sponsoring fresh creative professionals, we will also operate a design studio that provides clients with sophisticated visual solutions to all types of briefs.

As we mentioned before, Burgoyne visits Kingston University every monday. This week, he talked about "The £25 Logo"...<br />

<b><br />
</b></div><div>These websites offer <i>"priceless, quality, custom-made logos designed by seasoned professionals"</i>. For £25...?</div><div><br />
</div><div>It goes without saying that for many, if not all of these websites, the saying "you get what you pay for" applies. In the same way that the Metro, (a free London newspaper offered to anyone and everyone), keeps many commuters happy, we imagine that a lot of the '£25 Logo' sites keep their clients content: why else would there be nearly 120,000,000 competitors?</div><div><br />
</div><div>This is not to say that we do/don't condone the new, ever-rising and developing world of internet-based crowd sourcing. In fact, we've even been following one of them (www.blurdesigns.com), just to see what they offer. On one hand, crowd sourcing benefits young, aspiring designers who want to have a shot at otherwise unaccessible briefs. On the other hand, vast amounts of the briefs are essentially open to anyone with a Mac and an internet connection.</div><div><br />
</div><div>We think that the internet pioneered in accessibility to countless resources and opportunities, and continues to develop it's repertoire to help the world's increasing jobless population. Which is why the growing debate over crowd sourcing's usefulness can't be answered without taking into account the Internet's responsibility, not to mention Apple and Adobe's coalition to make everyone a creative.<br />
<br />
BH agrees that offering a quick turn-around on £25 logos has no justification as Graphic Design. In the same way that stock photo websites, such as Shutterstock have almost abolished the stock photo trade as it was once known, crowd-sourcing websites are slowly penetrating the established, traditional, process-based and honest-hard-working world of Graphic Design. "Graphic Design is not about generating shit logos for £25, over the internet. Graphic Design is about a deep thought process, human interaction and actively-built relationships, sophistication and strategies, intelligence and understanding". There is a difference between easily throwing together conventional elements of a logo and calling it 'top-quality / custom', and a refined process in which a client's value is extended through their visual identity.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Either way, read up on Mat Dolphin's story, where he found out exactly what £25 gets you:</div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Dan will be initially joining us to take on a D&AD Student Awards brief. Dan, like Benio, is a Kingston University Graphic Designer, in his 3rd year. This introduction would never be written to appropriately describe Dan, his work or his achievements.<br />

The day consisted of a meet&greet, introductions, talks with industry professionals (on how to answer a brief), followed by a split into groups, a workshop / 1hour brief, topped off with a presentation and 'speed dating session' with the industry pro's!<br />
<br />
How did we fit that all into one day? Through perfect timing, organisation and on-the-spot problem solving from D&AD / Creature. We'd like to start off by saying a HUGE thanks for the experience!<br />
<br />
The talks included people from the D&AD Student Awards' sponsors, like Microsoft, <a href="http://specialmoves.com/work">Special Moves</a>, <a href="http://www.dlkwlowe.com/">DLKW Lowe</a>, <a href="http://www.movingbrands.com/">Moving Brands</a> and of course <a href="http://creaturelondon.com/">Creature</a>.<br />

<b>Here are some useful tips, concerning "how to answer briefs" :</b><br />
<br />
<b>MICROSOFT</b> // Andrew Spooner, Creative Technologist:<br />
<br />
1. Focus on the user.<br />
2. Don't let the tech BE the answer / situation.<br />
3. Make friends with the Tech.<br />
4. Context - 'Where will the user be when they use the tech?'<br />
5. Challenge the tech, but don't break it.<br />
<br />
<b>SPECIAL MOVES</b> // Caroline Taylor:<br />
<br />
1. Know what matters, don't get excited.<br />
2. Break down time.<br />
3. Immerse yourself, Don't ever question or judge, then take a step back.<br />
4. Get involved, PUSH IT.<br />
5. Let loose, don't play it safe.<br />
<br />
<b>DLKW LOWE</b> // Jonny Watson:<br />
<br />
1. Trash the brief.<br />
2. Make it your own.<br />
3. Interrogate the brief.<br />
4. Stay TRUE to the brief.<br />
5. Recognise dead ends.<br />
6. Proposition is GOD.<br />
7. Sharpen the brief.<br />
8. Wear lots of hats.<br />
9. Don't just say... DO.<br />
10. Smack it.<br />
<br />

We'll leave these notes up here, in case anyone wants to ask any questions about them / so that we can go back and use them! Great advice from some amazing people.<br />
<br />
After the five minute talks, we split into groups. BH was set up with some great people in their group, who were from institutions all over the UK. It was a great experience - we learnt so much from people we had never met before, collaborated with them and went on to answer a brief really well! Once we've tracked them all down on the internet (online portfolios), we're planning on showcasing some of their work on here, and hopefully in the gallery in the future!<br />

They are an unusual combination. A pessimist and an optimist; a practitioner and design educator; one rooted in typography, the other in image-making. Both are idealists, but not unrealistic, and passionate enthusiasts for their subject."</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 15px;">Rebecca gave Benio a green light on Butcher's Hook becoming one of his main projects for his third and final year. This has given us a real boost to get going - it means he'll be getting expert advice and opinions from his tutors (other highly respected professionals, of whom we'll blog about a bit later). It also means that we won't be working as much overtime, trying to mix Uni, BH and work!</span></div></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.166667em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.333333em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15px;">Thanks Rebecca, we're looking forward to your professional input!</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: grey; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.166667em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.333333em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'American Typewriter ITCW02 Md'; line-height: 15px;"><br />

<br />
For most of us, this means back to work / education. We're not too upset about that; this being our first annual (and possibly our most exciting) year as a unit! So, without further ado, here's what we've been up to over the last month:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>SNOW BALL</b></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We massively enjoyed Snow Ball in the 13th of December. It was full of (over 200) students and friends of the up-and-coming art industry! We saw this as a great night out, with the perfect chance to start networking with potential future partners / clients / customers!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We produced business cards to re-enforce the vibes we sent out:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Many thanks to The Hippodrome, Kingston. Also, congratulations to Benio's Graphic Design class (Kingston University), who set up the night as a fund raiser for their end of year show!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Patrick Burgoyne, Editor of <a href="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/home">Creative Review</a>, has been a huge inspiration and help to the recent development of BH. For the last few mondays, along with tens of others, Patrick blesses BH with some worthy advice / experience and sometimes even a challenge.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Over the next few posts, we'll be throwing up some of his wise words. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This week, we especially enjoyed listening to a short rendition of Patrick's professional history. Probably the most important thing he shared was that in terms of how you go about your future - there is no right or wrong. There is every opportunity to do what you want. Hearing this was so important to us - three young designers challenging the conventional approach into the industry. He did mention that a year or two with an agency / existing business would most probably benefit the 'commercial' part of the brain. He also mentioned that it could even boost-start a client base. He also mentioned that working for / in ANY kind of existing trade would potentially benefit our understanding of a profitable work ethic.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">For these reasons, while Benio finishes his Degree, James will be spending a year working in design or design-related internships. Hold tight for his long list of jobs he's secured, and his quick summary of what he's been doing! Having just finished working a placement at <a href="http://www.audacity-group.com/">Audacity</a>, Josh has tuned into the educational frequency - a very important area for BH to get involved in. Josh has just been offered a job working as a TA in a local school, where he hopes to not only become an inspiration to others, but also develop relationships in our new locality. Stay tuned for updates from him, too!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Patrick mentioned a few examples of how to go about promoting your own work ethic. Examples included:</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We loved the inside info about him too - that his wife, Elaine is a huge help and the kerfufle over who storyboarded the <i>Psycho</i> shower scene and who shot it!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It was relieving to learn the succession of mediums in Bass' career. It seems as if he didn't know himself where to start. Maybe through trial and error, maybe through experience, or maybe just through sheer perseverance, Bass established his name over a nmber of fields.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">A great first example.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Brownjohn's courage was what struck us the most. Patrick revealed that apparently when Brownjohn was pitching the idea for projecting type onto the naked body, (for the James Bond titles), he hired a theatre, got up on stage, stripped naked and basked in the projection... asking the producers to imagine he was a beautiful woman! Classic. One thing Patrick mentioned was that he was a great example of someone who likes "bouncing around between Graphic Design and Advertising".<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Their presentation about paper (of which they have dealt with for over 126 years!!) was excellent.

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The number of thoughts you have in one day massively overweighs the number of words you speak. FACT. Even if you can rap as fast as</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6XLswqiX0s" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">WATSKY</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> (check that out...!!).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Unfortunately, most of our thoughts are never communicated and only exist within the complex cavities of our cavernous minds. Sometimes, they sink so deep, we don't even fathom their existence... They stay down there, hidden away from everyone. Your head is a gold mine.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So here's to those ideas that we get when we do a handstand, when we're pretending to listen to a nagging parent, when we're on the toilet and the ones we get when we first open our eyes in the morning. All those times when something random wiggles its way out of those dark passages in our brains, and make it all the way to the surface. Butcher's Hook encourages you to cherish them. Write them down quickly, chuck it on your phone, tell someone - anything to keep it alive!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Take that idea for a walk. Push it over the edge. Kill it, resuscitate it then tease it, until it explodes. Throw the idea around, then pick it up and kiss it till it feels better. Develop it, build on it, pass it on, DO SOMETHING WITH IT!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Just never take them for granted - you never know what kind of treasure you're sitting on.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
