Editorial

I can't tell you how excited I am to be involved in re-launching Streetgraphic! Almost two years after our last issue we are back in full swing with a brand new site, a new editorial team and plans in place, which I am sure, will prove to make for an interesting year.

I think it's fair to say that Streetgraphic has matured quite considerably since it's last issue, we have a new professional tool for managing and editing content, a larger, more globalised team of contributors and most importantly a stronger sense of identity and purpose. Helping to drive the growth and expansion of Streetgraphic is a large part of what makes it so exciting, and I anticipate a lot of exciting times ahead.

In this issue we interview Rob Chiu, motion director and founder of 'The Ronin', to find out what he has been doing recently with Adobe and New York based design house; digital kitchen.

Our Australian correspondent Dave Taylor takes Streetgraphic down under in an exploration of ozzie perception of home grown design versus imported British work, in an series of interviews with creative directors from some of Sydney’s top agencies.

We also took a trip to Barcelona to interview a British student who is living and working out in Spain placement, to find out whether his job is giving him the necessary experience to cut it in the design world.

I'd like to say a big thank you to our new team who have been working very hard to launch the new site, to John Kelly, Dave Taylor and Joy Sykes for all their support, and to Rob Chiu and to the rest of the contributors.

If you are interested in being involved in the next issue please contact us to find out more, otherwise you can look forward to an interview with artist and animator John Ross, to find out what he has been doing with aardman studio and his views of art and design in academic institutions.
