D&AD Sharp'ner: "Picture A Sound"

Last night, as part of design group Form's 21st anniversary I spoke about working as a photographer with record labels and magazines.
It was a great night with 4 other speakers who all in their own way have been involved with the record/music industry.
Anthony Burrill kicked off the night with a briliant story about how he got to design his favourite band's, Kraftwerk's, website.
That was followed by my talk and extensive slide show; then Paul West from Form took us through his excellent journey followed by journalist Peter Robinson, who runs Popjustice, with a tour de force of tales from the pop world.
Finally sound designers Adelphoi showed us impressive examples of their work.
Brilliant evening and a very special thank you to Paula and Paul of Form.

The talk was filmed and will be up on the D&AD website in a few weeks time when I'll put up a link for all of you who couldn't make it.

In the meantime enjoy the weblinks...and the funny shot of us all below...

Form 21st Anniversary

Make your way to design group Form's 21st anniversary exhibition in Shoreditch before Thursday
14th June.
Its a great inspirational show for all you out there interested in visuals in the music industry and beyond.

The centrepiece(s) of the show are 21 objects that somehow played a part, or were the inspiration behind some of Form's projects.Great stories accompany each object.More details here:

Here's an oldie I shot for them back in the '90s:

The band was called Two Thirds - but there were 3 members in it.I never quite got my head around that one...
