How did you come to be at QBN? Tell us the story, no matter how dull.

    A friend at uni (on a graphic design degree) introduced me to Newstoday. I lurked for a bit, then finally signed up in 2004 during my first proper job. If I had a technical illustrator/PS or web question, I came here and got answers...learnt tons from people on here.
    Had my folio featured on the front page early on and even got profiled in some design magazines back in the day (including an interview in a french design publication). Somewhere I still have an email conversation I had with Jason Kristofer.

    Along the way there have been some fun projects:
    The Sketchbook exchange, where we all filled in a spread in a moleskine and then mailed it off to the next person.
    Remember the QBN book that we planned to publish? A Better Tomorrow. I still have the artwork for my spread somewhere too.

    I went to a couple of London pub meetups over the years, which seems a distant memory now.

    • Lol yes that book. I remember staying up super late to try and meet the deadline. I taught myself to use indesign for that one.sea_sea
    • I remember books too!Chimp
