Craig Oldham





Over the past few weeks, I have been in contact with Craig Oldham. Craig is a designer from graphic studio Music and had recently come along for a talk to discuss what to expect when leaving university. This was definitely helpful so I decided to send my work to Craig for his opinion. As the weeks went by, Craig’s busy schedule had got in the way but he was kind enough to keep me up to date and when he finds time to see my work, he would let me know. I definitely appreciated his honesty and also the fact he didn’t forget my e-mails. I was finally lucky to have an in-depth analysis of my work by Craig this past week. His opinion was different from the other practitioners I had in the past. Craig was happy to talk in detail about how I could improve each piece in my portfolio for them to work the strongest. He repeatedly stated this was not criticism but more of his opinions, nothing right or wrong. I feel his advice was definitely worth the wait and I plan to make some changes to what Craig has said and maybe get another opinion in the future.
