It’s official, today is the day I got my BA(Hons) Graphic Design from The Arts Institute at Bournemouth. Whop Whop!

This is a call to all and sundry to descend upon The Arts Institute at Bournemouth between Thursday 19th and Thursday 26th of June 2008. Come and see the amazing talent (myself included) of this years AIB graduates. We can be found on the first floor of the Phase IV building or you can follow the InhibitionXhibition Arrows that have been planted all over the campus.

We also have a stand at this years D&AD NewBlood 2008 exhibition at Earls Court which is free to the public on Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th of June and we would love it if you could come.

If for any reason you can’t make either event then check out our website here.
