Talk with Steve Edge..

The talk with Steve Edge was amazing!

He spoke about how to get your personality and a personality of a brand over. Find the story of a brand and tell a good story then you will be remembered.

Truly inspiring and a humble representation of someone completely happy in his job and extremely successful too.

Filled my little book of quotes.

Beautiful Meme Talk -

I really liked the talk that Beautiful Meme did, I thought it gave me something else to think about within my design, and that is the actual words I am using within bigger bits of text. And I should make this a bigger consideration when designing with type.

Tom from Beautiful Meme gave us 12 key points of which he worked by:

1. strongest way to convey an idea is by using words.
2. the easiest way to sell is by using words
3. copy and design are always at war with each other
4. hierarchy is everything
5. people like reading well written copy.
6. words make your brand human.
7. simple is clever.
8. complicated is stupid
9. tone of voice is a subtlety
10. it is your job to challenge every word
11. designers and copywriters should be partners
12. good designers can spell, great designers can write

Conversation with Catalogue..

I was really inspired by the chat, and took a lot from it.

I really need to be more involved in the environment I want to be in!
Attend the event set up by other proffessionals and network with people.
Get myself out there and get known by others.

I had also never really thought about setting up myself before as I had always thought I wouldn't want to work alone, however I could see myself working with someone who was into the same design aspect and thought similarly of which we could work together.

They also gave us alot of information about places/ studios you can rent, where you can do this and also events that go on within leeds of which I am definitely getting involved in.

Overall a really good chat!
