Buro Fur Form
"Good graphic design is the result of the endless search for beauty in things" (buro fur form ,graphic design for the 21st century, page 44)
I find this statement inspiring because as a good graphic designer you are always on the look out for bits of inspiring junk that you feel you can turn into something worth looking at. I have found that every designer i talk to or every lecture i attend they have scrap books with bits and pieces that they use for ideas or books that they find relate to them.
This particular designer Buro Fur Form bases alot of his work on small cut outs and scrap books to create his pieces. When i look at the work im amazed that he can create such mesmerizing pieces simply from scrap books that hes collected through the years it certainly inspires you to start your own collection.

Hello Emily,
Im currently a student at Stockport College studying BA Hons Graphic Design and Advertising. My most recent brief is to contact Design Agencies to get a better understanding of the industry.
I came across Dinosaur's website and found it inspiring straight away due to the fun and eyecatching layout, The style that your company has is what i feel relates to my own style of work.
Whilst looking through your client list i noticed you have worked with Alton Towers, Key 103, Manchester United Football Club and many more, which are huge companys which i could only dream of working with at this stage. The piece that stood out from the others was the Cow Parade campaign i found it elegant and very detailed, the whole idea is very fresh and eyecatching.
I would really enjoy getting to know your company and finding out more on the industry through you. I have also looked at your placements page and i understand that your full till 2009 and i fully appreciate that your a very busy company but if you could offer me some advice either by appointment or emails this would be extremely helpful in my plight.
Many Thanks
Vicky Smith"
