Marcus Oakley 20/5/20

Marcus’s lecture on zoom came from Scotland which is the plus about this system (and something that could be taken forward, imagine a lecture back at Uni live from New York for example) - and he was immediately engaging and entertaining, opening with him playing his guitar and synth to his opening slide.

I liked too, (maybe he did this  a little more than most), how Marcus really shone a light on his early influences and in particular his 1970′s film and sweet wrapper slides, he explained that the things he grew up  become things he related to in his work. Marcus has also styled himself as a Graphic artist, which is a good idea - something I should consider too as we provide our work in more diverse ways and fields, it’s less limiting that ‘illustrator’ and something I may suggest my students do.

All I need say is that I loved his work and we used to get anorak magazine so a joy to see that cover too, his work for Urban Outfitters and that great map of Edinburgh, liked too that he made a 3D figure for the pointer campaign, a reminder to think differently and wider about solutions to briefs and maybe think about 3D work.
