Thank you to Ewald for sending the above photograph from his studio. An inspiring photo for the New Year
2007 involved Green Britannia, YMCA NYC, Teacake, Amsterdam, a long hard summer, A placement in Paradise two pairs of very tired eyes and one broken powerbook. We hope 2008 will be as enjoyable, as we encounter the exciting finale of our university education and embark on our future.
Propaganda Pitch
Towards the end of last year we pitched our ideas to Propaganda, a Manchester based prop hire company, for a company re-brand and they have since decided to use our work. We will be working closely with them in the coming months. A big thank you to Jess for her support. Above is our first offering - colour scheme under discussion.

Catapult 2007 at the Urbis
Technical difficulties aside this selection of work from the best of the North West is definitely something to go and see.
It would have been nice to see people claim their space in a more forthright manner. Highlights included work by our friend Heather Williams and we look forward to seeing Matthew Williamson's forthcoming exhibition 'Ten Years in Fashion'.
