Turner Duckworth

An ex NSAD (now NUCA (where I go)) Graphics student who now works as a creative for Turner Duckworth came in to talk to us on friday. I'm 90% sure his name is Gavin Horrell but I can't seem to find him on the internet! Anyhow it was very very encouraging to see someone come from our school and recieve 4 job offers including one from Turner Duckworth just from his grad show! He was quite inspirational and talked in a fun, witty, english and slightly nervous manner that held my attention even on a friday morning. He spoke of the company and how they operate using their base in San Fransisco and their base in London to run projects simulatiously so they are almost being worked on 24 hours a day just on seperate sides of the world! Genious in it's self without metioning how stunning the work actually is.

Their company values and beliefs are:
To initially approach every job in the same way.
To have a clear vision. 'We create clarity.'
Emotion makes the first connection.
A brands true personality resides in the detail.
Nothing should be included that doesnt serve a specific or useful purpose.
And to evolve at a rate that doesnt alientate current users.

and that is how they can produce stuff like this, consistantly:
