Cambridge School of Art

Mark Barlow

Cambridge School of Art

“









I came to the Cambridge School of Art straight from sixth form college to pursue a career in design, and haven't looked back since. From the beginning, I found the course stimulating and it has provided me with a solid foundation of design theory and practice in the field of graphic design.

The Degree Show had an important role in helping me to find a job. It allowed me to present my skill-set to potential employees and ultimately led me into my Junior Designer role here in Cambridge.

Being involved in the creation of the 2011 Degree Show materials sharpened my knowledge of print processes and improved my attention to detail. This experience has eased the transition between studying graphic design to working as a young professional.
