Graphic Design at UCK

Rosie had quite a unique experience with this assignment and I hope that maybe she will write a blog entry sharing her story and maybe some of the emails that were exchanged between her and book cover designer David Pearson.
.
This assignment was quite straightforward asking Rosie for 2000 words on a designer that influenced her personally. Besides the fact that she needed to conduct some firsthand research, the content was more or less open to what she found interesting.
.
She was able to interview David Pearson, who worked for Penguin and now works for a number of companies. Rosie’s final essay follows along with a transcript of her interview and a mindmap of her thought process. The information, research and emails she included filled an entire binder so I can’t show you all of it!

Rosie interviewed book designer David Pearson for her HNGD 005 Critical Study module a few weeks ago. She must have made a good impression because he emailed her out of the blue with a link to an article he thought would interest her. She emailed me it to me so I could share it with everyone else.

Hi there Rosie

I hope you’re well.
