A good lecture from Anne Brassier the communications manager at Airside. A small crowd gathered to see the presentation. They have some great ideas at Airside, working for some big clients. Still fairly young in comparison they have developed a keen eye for creating cutting edge visuals. An impressive collection of both print and animation, with a good business brain behind it driving initiatives like t-shirt designs etc. Would like to gain experience within their company one day.
