Hi David, I hope you are well and everything is going smoothly as you prepare for the degree show. I just wanted to share a piece of work I have just finished for IBM. I hope it can help to encourage students to the course which has given me the skills and drive to make work like this.
Best - Daniel

Typographic Mini Golf

May 7, 2013

Stage one students recently completed a three-dimensional typographic project realised through group work designing and manufacturing an 18-hole mini-golf course. This exercise combined the pleasure of sport with the  rigour of typography. Helped and supported by our workshop technicians, students made both holes and putters for a mini golf open day on April 26th on the parade ground at Chelsea Millbank. Within the golfing range, classical Baskerville rubbed shoulders with the likes of Zapf Dingbats as the sun shone down on the green.

SAS awards 2013

April 25, 2013

SAS – Creative talent, corporate and brand communications for a digital world, Student Scholarship award in collaboration with Chelsea College of Art and Design

SAS London recently launched a £10,000 scholarship programme at Chelsea College of Art and Design to recognise creative excellence and nurture emerging talent. The scholarship programme will ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of the design industry.

This is the second year that SAS have funded a Student Award Scholarship and for 2013 the challenging brief was based on the theme of ‘Supermarket Futures’ and was specific to the second year students of Chelsea College of Art and Design on the BA Graphic Design Communication course. The requirement was to create an innovative concept and to present it to a judging panel and wider audience, as a digital pitch. All 45 students on the course undertook the brief and students were shortlisted to present in the final on 22 April.

Finalists presented to the SAS judging team comprising of David Stocks – Executive Creative Director and Matthew Shannon – Design Director and representatives of Chelsea College of Art and Design, Geoff Thomas Shaw – Undergraduate Design Programme Director, and Kieron Dennis – Project Leader,

Geoff Thomas-Shaw commented: ‘This award will enable students to acquire greater confidence in focusing on their studies within the latter stage of the BA programme. SAS are unique in terms of their generosity and in supporting the next generation of graphic design and communication talent, whilst ensuring they acquire an essential skills set based upon professional practice and critical engagement’.

David Stocks commented: ‘This partnership enables us as a business to support the development and future of the design industry and to help students solve problems and respond to a brief, in a creative way. The results and outcomes varied from each individual student but the process was an exciting one and the winners deserve the SAS Scholarship for their third year of study’.

A first prize of £5,000 was awarded to Jack Hardiker, a second prize was awarded to Sally Lewis and a £3,000 third prize to £2,000.

A post from our workshop techs..

March 21, 2013

Well its that time of year when the fair weather golfers out there, dust of their kit and start heading out to the greens. It seemed the right time then for the 1st students of BA Graphic Design to hit the Wood Workshop to make another 9 holes ( I think it might actually of been 11 ) to go with the 9 they made last year. Its proved a great success again with a great deal of energy and a real buzz about the place for a week. Below are some photos taken during their time with us and we are all looking forward to playing the holes at an event straight after Easter. Follow the link to see last years group as well. Nice one guys!! via

A new HOME for Manchester from Bhav Mistry & Joel Baker

February 20, 2013

Recent graduates Bhav Mistry and Joel Baker worked on the design elements of the rebrand of ‘Home’ – the merger of the Cornerhouse and the Library Theatre Company coming to Manchester in 2015. The new identity is based on screwed-in letters, which can be removed to create different iterations of the identity. The organisation will produce, host and support a multi-disciplinary arts programme, learning and participation, performance and digital innovation. O Street and Creative Concern initially undertook research with audiences and stakeholders through workshops, and developed the ‘brand personality’ for Home around the concept  ‘The Play of Ideas’, according to O Street.
