GRAduates (update 12.05.06)

I thought it will be good for all to take a look at how the graduates are doing. After all, they have been in the same studio once.

All apologies to other graduates who have websites but not listed here. These are the few ones that I know. My intention is to start a thread this way. I hope this will grow and many other links are added in time.
If you're in contact with other graduates, or if you have your own website, please add.
Happy networking!

... "In the pursuit to market 'style' many people in the designed and corporate identity industries are disseminating various ideas and theories about creativity. Ironically, they are unable to define creativity within their present terms of reference. They are caught in a paradoxical situation in which they seem unable to distiguish between novelty (applying to a product style without a rationale) and creativity. Novelty results when creative solutions are demanded by businesses which do not acknowledge that
to be truly creative you have to risk failure."
