IF YOUR CHILD DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO UNIVERSITY.

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?

It’s a question more parents are asking.

And if your son or daughter wants a career in graphic design, university isn’t the only route.

But there’s an important question to ask:

What do they actually need to learn to become a professional designer?

It isn’t just Photoshop.
It isn’t just Illustrator.

They need to learn how to:

• Think creatively
• Solve problems
• Develop ideas
• Make confident design decisions
• Understand how professional designers work
• Build a portfolio that demonstrates what they can actually do

After decades working as a graphic designer, creative director and educator, this is something I’ve become increasingly passionate about.

The software can be learned.
But, the thinking takes practice.

So if your son or daughter:

• Didn’t get the university place they wanted
• Has decided university isn’t for them
• Is considering an alternative route into graphic design
• Or simply wants to know what it really takes to become a professional designer

No hard sell.

Just an honest conversation about getting into graphic design.

If your son or daughter is considering graphic design as an alternative to university, send me a DM. I’d be happy to arrange a free, informal call to talk through the options.

The Man Who Gave Levi’s Its Wings

In 1967, pioneering brand designer Walter Landor (born Walter Landauer in Munich) transformed Levi Strauss & Co. with one bold move. After founding Landor Associates in 1941 and settling in San Francisco, he created the iconic “Batwing” logo, a red shape that perfectly echoes the Arcuate stitching on every pair of Levi’s back pockets.

The design featured a clean sans-serif wordmark. Breaking from all-caps tradition, Landor insisted on treating “Levi’s” as a proper name (capital L only), giving the brand a youthful, timeless edge that still defines it today.

This wasn’t just a logo. It was Landor’s consumer-first philosophy in action, turning a functional detail into a global symbol of strength and durability. His work for Levi’s, Coca-Cola, Bank of America and more proved that great design builds emotional bonds, not just recognition.

Adrian Frutiger (1928–2015) was a Swiss type designer and visual-communication pioneer whose work bridged typography, signage, and corporate identity. Although celebrated primarily for typefaces such as Univers, Frutiger, Avenir, and OCR-B, he also created a number of influential logos marked by clarity, geometric balance, and intuitive symbolism. Designing the Autoroute du Sud de la France logo, a clean, symbolic representation of a highway merging toward the horizon, expressing motion, infrastructure, and national connectivity through minimal shapes. Another notable mark is the Musées Nationaux de France logo, where Frutiger applied his characteristic restraint to create a refined, culturally resonant symbol suited to a broad network of museums. His approach consistently emphasized legibility and functional elegance, traits that extended into his signage systems for the Paris Métro and various international airports. Through both his typefaces and visual identities, Frutiger helped define the visual language of the late 20th century, leaving a legacy of design that continues to influence contemporary branding, public information systems, and modern graphic communication.

Kashiwa Sato, born in Tokyo in 1965, is a renowned Japanese creative director and graphic designer. He graduated from Tama Art University’s Graphic Design program and worked for 11 years at Hakuhodo, a leading Japanese advertising agency, before founding his own studio, Samurai, in 2000. Known for his minimalist and iconic design approach, Sato draws inspiration from Japanese culture and traditions, emphasizing simplicity and clarity. His work spans branding, logo design, product development, and architecture, with notable clients including Uniqlo, Honda, and Seven Eleven.

Sato designed Uniqlo’s current logo, introduced in 2006, to reflect the brand’s Japanese identity and global ambitions. The logo features the word "UNIQLO" in a custom typeface, stacked vertically, against a bright red square background, echoing the colors of the Japanese flag. A second version incorporates the Katakana script "ユニクロ" (yunikuro), creating a dual-language design intended to appeal to both Japanese and international audiences. This redesign debuted at Uniqlo’s flagship store in New York’s SoHo district and became the official logo in Japan by 2009. Sato’s intention was to make the logo simple, memorable, and evocative of Japanese pop culture, aligning with Uniqlo’s global branding strategy under CEO Tadashi Yanai. He has also overseen broader branding efforts, including store designs and the UT T-shirt line, reinforcing Uniqlo’s identity as a functional yet culturally rooted fashion brand.

Adrian Frutiger (1928–2015) was a Swiss typeface designer renowned for his contributions to modern typography. Born in Unterseen, Switzerland, he developed an early interest in letterforms, later studying at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts. His career spanned decades, creating iconic typefaces like Frutiger and Avenir, but his most celebrated work is Univers, designed in 1957.

Univers is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface, notable for its clarity, versatility, and systematic design. Frutiger aimed to create a universal typeface family, offering a range of weights and widths for diverse applications, from print to signage. Unlike earlier sans-serifs like Helvetica, Univers features subtle variations in stroke thickness and a cohesive, harmonious structure, making it highly legible and adaptable. Its numbered classification system (e.g., Univers 55, 65) allows precise typographic control, revolutionizing font organization.

Frutiger’s innovative approach with Univers set a new standard in typeface design, influencing graphic design and branding worldwide. Its clean, timeless aesthetic remains widely used in corporate identities, wayfinding systems, and publications, cementing Frutiger’s legacy as a pioneer of functional, elegant typography.
