Alan Cox - Dust

Alan Cox studied a HND at Stockport College around 18 years ago, for 2 years. He then went on to study at Leeds Met University joining the 2nd years on the degree course; he finished his degree there. After finishing his degree, Alan then went on to wok in a hotel for 2 years, as he struggled to find a job in the design industry.

Alan has since become a member of the design company Dust, based in Sheffield. It is a small company with only two members in total.

Since working for Dust, Alan has worked on installations for Manchester United. The ideas behind the wok was based on the way the grass was cut on the pitches and how the goals were scored etc.

A few other design jobs Alan has worked on are:

  • Penguin book covers
  • McDonalds
  • Mexico factories
  • Cadbury's Dairy Milk
  • Voda-Phone - illustrations
  • financial times
All of the above were taken from self promotion ideas.

Below is a selection of work mentioned above.
