Glorious - Tommy Lecture

Glorious deisgn company in Manchester are currently ranked in the top 5 through-out england came and gave us a lecture. Tommy was the once given the lecture and told us that the company has been going for three and a half years under the name of Glorious. Its a fairly small company with only 5 designers working for it. Tommy's main designs were very typographically based as this was his best area he thought. We were shown alot of different types of work Glorious have created and even some work that has won awards in the past.

Some of the clients Tommy has created work for include:
- Karl's Barbershop
- Temperature Control
- The HAT project
- REDdog Communications
- Shot Up North

Tommy also went on to mention about when the client 'totally destroys' your confindence. He talked about how he came up with an idea for a client and they then took the idea to another design agency and got them to compleat it, he said that it was literally like 'giving your baby away'.

My two favourite peices were the Karl's Barbershop and the Pay And Display ticket.
I think they are both really clever ideas and i wish i had thought of them myself.
I really enjoyed theGlorious lecture and it has helped my way of thinking develop.
