CURATED by… Is a series of lectures / screenings / readings / discussions with Graphic Design students at all levels of the BA, MDes & MA courses at Sheffield Hallam University. Leading figures within Graphic Design and the related fields offer their experience and influences. Requesting a few references for the things they have, in the past or present, found inspiring or valuable in shaping their knowledge and understanding of their practice, or simply really good advice.
Over recent weeks Sheffield Hallam has delightfully played host to a number of leading figures as part of the CURATED by programme; including renowned Graphic Designer and Author Ken Garland and award winning Illustrator Simon Spilsbury.
This week Sheffield Hallam welcomes two outstanding Designers David Pearson and Stefanie Posavec. Both David and Stefanie have previously designed at Penguin Books before each becoming freelance designers exploring their own practice.
