Dan Moore - Graphic designer

Dan became a founding partner at Studio Output in 2002. Since then he has helped it grow to a team of 13 over three studios working on everything from branding, to films and advertising campaigns. Highlights include the ongoing relationship with Ministry of Sound, which has seen the London club brand reclaim its status as one of London's 'coolest' venues again and striking pieces for smaller leisure clients, such as Geisha, which won numerous interiors awards when it opened back in 2005. Here he shares some insights into his career, inspirations and methods.

Adi Granov - Concept artist

Concept artist Adi Granov has worked on some of Marvel's biggest titles, including helping design characters and set the look for last year’s Iron Man movie. In advance of his masterclass later this month, he tells us about how he got started and and about his working methods.

Brendan Dawes - Interactive designer

The head of magneticNorth's impeccable taste and sense of design has led to him being one of a few interactive designers to be exhibited at New York's MoMA. Ahead of his Digital Artist masterclass, we ask him about his background, influences and inspiration.

Dave Gibbons – Creator of Watchmen

There are only a handful of contemporary British illustrators to whom the term groundbreaking can accurately be applied. Dave Gibbons is one of them. Co-creator of the Watchmen series with Alan Moore, collaborator on US comic giant Frank Miller’s Martha Washington projects and lead artist during 2000 AD’s UK heyday. These are just a few projects to which Dave has turned his inimitable style towards, not to mention his pioneering digital technique, which hauled comic book illustration into the computer age. As the search for today’s digital art stars begins, Dave talks to us about his humble beginnings and inspirations.
