Last year I decided to do an MA in Graphic Design and Art
Direction part time to assist me in better communicating the products and
services of the consultancy and the REthinkthings brand. This experience has
lead to a whole range of new creations, all communication based and these are
soon to be finalised and released as products and services onto our site.
One project that was more for pleasure but greatly inspirational
to me personally was a joint publication myself and my fellow students decided
to create entitled Büro.
Büro is both a recurring creative outlet which follows varying
formats and is free where found and is designed, produced and distributed by
the collaborative group of professional students.
The first output from the eclectic collection "Büro
1.0" was launched at Odder on Oxford Road and consisted of 22 thoughtfully designed / illustrated graphic posters
on the theme of misplaced.
This summer Büro 1.0 distributed around the North
West.
We limited production to 500 copies of Büro 1.0, and
ensure this was free to all. In Liverpool they were distributed in F.A.C.T.
(foundation for art and creative technology), Bold St Cafe, Egg cafe, The
Italian Club, Rennies Arts and Crafts, Ran retro shoe store, Lost Art, 3B
records, Leaf cafe, Bluecoat Chambers (art gallery), Camp and Furnace, Baltic
Creative, Liverpool Biennial HQ.
Manchester outlets included Wowie Zowie,
Chorlton, Fred Aldous, NQ Takk, NQ Common, NQ Marc the
Printers, NQ Magma, NQ The Bay Horse, NQ Trof, NQ Affleck's
Palace, NQ The Castle Pub, NQ, Sandbar, Oxford Road Odder,
Oxford Road.
Those lucky guys in Leeds even nabbed some
copies at Village in the Corn Exchange!
