Manchester Design Symposium

Today, Naomi and Finch went to Manchester Design Symposium for an afternoon of talks from different designers. It was at the Town Hall which is just a magnificent building.

There were talks from Morag Myerscough, Its Nice That, Fontsmith, Adrian Shaughnessy and others, with the GF Smith Paper exhibition showing in another room. The talks were very inspirational and interesting, every talk was different, even if it wasn't a topic I have an interest in, the talks were very engaging.

Plan for the day:

Creative Milkround Day

Today I visited the Creative Milkround, I visited talks by Hallmark, Numiko and Saatchi & Saatchi. They were all really interesting, and the Numiko set some context for my surgery, which I then realised, this was the wrong kind of digital, they are mainly web...

However I did get some really useful feedback, one piece of advice, I will follow very closely, 'Generate some noise - use twitter, get your work on blogs...'
He also said I could send him work and he would give me feedback, which is kind of him. Must follow up.
