So no jealousy involved whatsoever with them getting all the attention? :P
Only kidding.
Aye if you were at a more classic design studio freelancing then what they were doing mustve seemed a sham. I guess they are more "artists" than typical graphic designers and that whats makes their final results different.They were first to do what they were doing so that definitely makes them original and i did look up to the early stuff they did - their work definitely made me "change" the way I worked and pushed me to experiment a little more. I wasnt copying what they were doing but their influence made my stuff a little more "off the wall" - something the classic typography lecturers etc didnt like haha.
StMartins seems to spew out this sort of clique though who are well connected just cos they are from "stmartins". You'll find that most people from outwith London actually despise the pedestals that these artists have been raised up on and that they only got there because of the college they went to. If they were a student anywhere else they wouldnt have got the recognition being at StMartins and being in London and managing to to to all the right parties gave them.
