Day 3 - Sat 14th Aug
Ashley Ringrose - Soap Creative (http://www.soapcreative.com)
Spoke about the business side of running a web studio, 2 years on. They're now 7 people. Ashley spoke about the studio's structure, writing business plans, looking after the accounts, writing proposals and estimating costs and more. It was a very practical, useful session.
David Gravina - Digital Eskimo (http://www.digitaleskimo.net/)
David's design studio is built on a high standard of ethics, social and environmental consciousness. He talked about how he achieves this and works with clients who's values are aligned with the studio's.
Brendan Cook - PictureDrift (http://www.picturedrift.com.au)
Brendan was asked to speak about creativity and the client brief. He put together a great documentary asking his design friends questions on how they work with briefs etc. It was really interesting getting a diverse range of perspectives. Anthony Geernaert was one of the people featured in the doco.
Ryosuke Tei - Furi Furi (http://www.furifuri.com)
Ryosuke is based in Japan and talked about his cute characters. He likes to create characters that all ages can enjoy, and wants to keep the characters positive and uplifting. He's very much against featuring any guns or violence in graphic design. He wants his characters to have a healing effect on people and finished off by saying "let's all have fun and be happy".
Richard Hogg - Airside (http://www.airside.co.uk)
Richard was asked to speak again. He was asked to speak yesterday as the organisers were hoping that David Carson would arrive today and then take the final slot of the day. But Carson didn't show. Good on Richard for giving another presentation. He phoned his colleagues to get some new material to show in today's presentation. People who had heard him speak yesterday stayed for his presentation today as well. He's a true champ!
So it's been a great, fun 3 days of really interesting presentations.
