It’s Nice That - 18th June 2009

It’s Nice That is a talented team publishing inspiring work from across the creative sphere. They run a monthly talk, each event hosted by a guest speaker who brings two friends to showcase recent projects or thoughts.

This month’s event was hosted by Johnny Kelly from Nexus Productions, he creates fantastic stop-motion animations, often from hand-cut paper models. He also gives a very funny talk.

Next up was David McFarline, a graphic designer at Spin, who showcased some lovely book/magazine/exhibition designs that you very well may have seen in the last year. Subtle asides about designer issues like ‘special’ colour tints made his discussion two of a pair.

Finally, Marco Bohr, a talented photographer in his own right launched into an amazing analysis of Japanese post-bubble ‘girl’ photography and the work of Nagashima Yurie in particular.
