On Friday, 19th November @jonmcgovern @happyasaimee @mrchrisdesouza @Jessgill @waynemccauslin and I attended the @sampleus - Sample 2 Exhibition at Zellig @custardFactory in Digbeth, Birmingham. Sample is an annual exhibition which showcases the best work from a selection of Midland based creatives including my good friends Graphic Designer - Joe Mitchelmore @MadeByOthers - http://www.madebyothers.com/ and Photographer Tom Ayerst @tomayerst - check out his website http://www.tomayerst.co.uk/ and blog http://tomayerst.tumblr.com/
It was a great evening and a fantastic way to showcase some of Birmingham’s newest talents.
Sample aims to bring together the very best creatives from the area, not only to showcase work but to communicate and socialise with each other, placing us on the map as the area where combined creativity thrives.
Every brief will be showcased in print at the exhibition and then presented here within an online gallery. There will also be a launch party for each Sample event bringing together the design community.
Recent Brief: Sample 2
The circular form shapes our very existence. From the atoms and cells which craft our being, to the huge globe we live on which orbits an enormous ball of fire.
This cycle of life is the perfect example of design.
Seamless. Unrelenting. Absolute. Complete.
Sample 2 will feature a unique collection of aesthetically beautiful works. Presented by artists from multiple disciplines, each piece will be unified by a circular format.
Sample 2 includes a range of work by artists:
