Steve Smith from Neasdon Control Centre gave a lecture on his work and how he had set up his little company which aims to continue, extend and develop involvement with diverse projects drawn from clients, companies and institutions, and, to initiate and develop non-commercial work, both independently and collaboratively. (biggg breath!!) The company does illustration, art direction, installation, motion and film for a varied list of clients across a wide range of sectors. I was mostly impressed with Steve's illustrative style which was individual, interesting and expressive, which for me would be recognisable as Steve's if was I was to see it anywhere else. Steve talked about how he had set up his company outside out London which I found inspirational as most of the work and design companies in the Uk are in the capital. It re-emphasized the fact that you can still be successful working for yourself from home but I still think it is important to get out and about to get the most out of things. I enjoyed it when Steve talked about using found objects as inspiration for work as this is something I often do. He said to go on a long walk in times of low motivation and inspiration.
