About Damian

I have over 25 years' teaching experience at undergraduate and postgraduate level and have experience in both course structure, term module building and assessment protocols. I am a visiting lecturer on the Graphic Design Communication B.A. at UAL Chelsea College of Arts as well as being a visiting lecturer at UCA Canterbury School of Art on their Visual Communication B.A. and M.A. I have also conducted portfolio reviews at CSM in London and delivered lectures on 'Life After Art School'. I have a First Class B.A. in Fine Art (Printmaking) and an M.A. in Printmaking. I used one of the first Apple Macintosh computers in the UK (am I that old?) and was immediately enthralled in the ability to cut out elements on screen, move them, print them out, cut them up, reassemble and reprint. My post-education journey began when I designed 'Coil - Journal of the Moving Image' before moving on to take over the design of 'Mute Magazine'. Working predominantly in the art world I moved into corporate design including branding, communications and editorial design. I co-director and art director of 8 Books Ltd - a commercial publishing company - and a practising artist. INCLUSIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY I celebrate the individual and value inclusivity. I do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexuality or disability, and pride myself on offering equal opportunity for all.

With over 30 years' experience in graphic design and visual communication my knowledge and ideas on creative thinking will help enhance your understanding and thought processes. I will work organically with you to develop the right set of tools (both process-based and technical) that you can apply to energise your design practice. ● Learn how to think through project ideation, mind map creatively and think 'outside the box'. ● Guidance on portfolio preparation for university or employment. ● Acquire a deeper understanding of InDesign using live demonstrations and home exercises. ● Learn how to correctly and professionally set up your InDesign files for print and manipulate PDFs using Acrobat Pro. Resonance is a key word in my teaching; finding the connections that resonate between subject and intended audience/use. How your design decisions, over colour, format and typography relate to this and how you can create something that communicates effectively whilst being fun to work on. These are the things that excite me and I want to pass this excitement on to you. You might be looking to move into graphic design from an allied area or perhaps you are already on a course and would like some extra help with a set brief or self-initiated project. I can also offer I regularly quote the words of Corita Kent (look her up - she's great!) and especially from her 'rules': RULE 8: Don't try to create and analyse at the same time. They're different processes. RULE 9: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think. The level my teaching is geared towards is undergraduate level and above (or age equivalent). A lesson will normally last for an hour but we can vary this depending on requirements. I will not run to a script but will approach every student individually - we structure a lesson plan together to deal with your specific interests/areas that we agree are in need of improvement.
