Hello, I am currently studying in Leeds where I am a Graphic Design Student at Leeds College of Art. I am a big fan of your work and was wondering if you could spare some time to answer some quick questions.

1. Would you have any advice/tips for someone who is just starting out in graphic design?

2. Do you have a favourite typeface? If so, what?

3. Artists and designers that you admire? Or that you would recommend to look at? 

Possible Questions

My aim is to have a few questions that are simple and to the point for Craig Ward. I dont want him to have to think about them for too long and lose interest.

1. Would you have any advice/tips for someone who is just starting out in graphic design?
Any advice that he could give, big or small would be very useful to me. He has been there and done it already, It would be very interesting to find out what he has to say.

2. Do you have a favourite typface? If so, what?
A simple question that he will be able to give a quick response to. Typefaces can also say a lot about a person and their personality.

3. Artists and designers that you admire? Or that you would recommend to look at? 
Artists and designs that he thinks are talented would be useful for me to research into.

How to get in contact

I was able to find Craig Wards twitter. However I could only find his studios email address. I was also able to get his studios address, I thick that a letter will be a more personal way of contacting him, emails tend to be ignored.

Craig Ward

Craig Ward is one of my favourite typography artists. He works with big brands and names, as well as creating his own personal work.

Someone You Admire

1. How do you find inspiration?
2. Do you think that age has an impact on your work?
3. Did you find it difficult to work with Chanel and keep their brand alive?
4. How do you manage your time?
