The other day some of the guys from the Masters of Design Ethnography course from my old haunt, Dundee University, were down hosting a conference here in London. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to grab tickets (but I hear it was a huge success!) so I had to make do with drinks in the evening.
I hadn’t really met any of them before (with the obvious exception of the guys form my undergrad degree) but they couldn’t have been a nicer bunch of people. Conversation was obviously focused around design which was great as it’s been a while since I really had a long conversation with other designers about the subject (their backgrounds are hugely varied so calling them all designers might be stretching it but that’s besides the point).
One thing I loved though was what Anna and John had done with their business cards. I can’t quite remember exactly what their business was about (maybe I wasn’t really listening, or perhaps it was one beer too many) but I took one of their ‘cards’ anyway as I really liked the idea. My only critiscm would be that the paper they chose was too good. Lower quality paper, in my opinion, would have made for a more convincing stick of chewing gum.
Anyway, here are some more photos:
