DAVE

Posted by Mike Rigby

This is Dave. A second year student and our intern at True North for the last 2 weeks.

There’s a few things I like about Dave.

On his first day he handed out some lovely hand cut letters. If you like milky coffee, you take a white ‘C’ and attach it to your favourite mug. Tea with no milk? grab a black ‘T’ and so on… A simple idea that works really well. This demonstrates 2 things:

1. He doesn’t mind making tea.

2. That he can be imaginative with even the most mundane of tasks.

It was also a great ice breaker and got him talking to most people around the studio.

The second thing I like about Dave is that he uses a sketchbook to hand draw type and map out his thoughts instead of jumping straight on the mac and aimlessly kicking type around.

He’s also hard working and enthusiastic about other projects going on in the studio.

Plus he brought us some lovely cupcakes. It can be really difficult to make an impression in a busy studio, especially in such a short space of time. But we’ll always remember the T idea (and the cakes).

He has a blog (unfortunately it doesn’t have much of his work on it). Thanks Dave, and good luck.
