Who are the Vivid Hollow? & What would you describe as your ‘sound?’ We are a 5 piece female fronted alternative rock band from the North West of England. Our sound is a tough one to put into words (at least for us,) but if we had to try then we’d probably say it was high energy rock music with plenty of dynamic and enough melody to keep your ears occupied for quite some time! Quite theatrical even at some points actually. We’re very focused on being fresh and different and so our music can go from a hip hop style groove to a punishing riff within an instant. We would like to think that we are bringing something new to the female fronted rock crowd through both the music and the vocal. (via Indie Artist Spotlight The Vivid Hollow Interview | Indie Minded)

What shows and news are coming soon for The Ragamuffins? We’re hoping to be putting out a very gutsy, four track, almost well, northern soul I suppose EP in the very near future (probably early 2013 now), hopefully with a vinyl edition of it too and we’re looking to co-ordinate some continental tours and trips away from England’s beautiful but rather too consistently wet North West. We’re in the process of sorting some video shoots for some of the songs from “Irony Curtain” as a nice way to end the year of its release. We’ll also be playing before the phenomenal Ian Prowse and Amsterdam at Liverpool’s o2 Academy on December the 1st amongst other acoustic shows galore that will be all over our online presence very soon! Name five music based people on twitter we should be following? @ianprowse - Amsterdam Frontman, Tranmere fan, Lefty. Boss beard. @johngibbonsblog - Promoter at Dovedale Towers in Liverpool, trumpet genius from The Last Gambados and panelist and resident on The Anfield Wrap who’ve been superb in offering their support and Radio City airplay to Stealing Sheep, Man Get Out, Tea Street Band, The Hummingbirds, Silent Sleep, Married To The Sea, and of course, ourselves @dave_monks BBC Introducing Liverpool, passionate music supporter and guru, really knows his onions @janicelongdj BBC’s very own, loveliest National Radio DJ out there and massive supporter of…. @man_get_out Liverpool’s loveliest band at the minute, played our launch night and were amazing and lovely enough to loan us their drummer when we were stuck for a while… (via Indie Artist Spotlight The Ragamuffins Interview | Indie Minded)

I am a recent Textile Design graduate from the University of Huddersfield, originally from just outside of Liverpool, which is where I am currently based. I am a designer/illustrator inspired by a vast amount of sources and artists, from nature to inanimate objects, illustrators to fine artists such as Peter Blake and Rauschenberg. I enjoy working with both fashion and interiors and have produced numerous projects for both whilst at university. (via Textiles Design Graduate Rachel Bennett « Business Boom Bolton)

I’m a Welsh-Bolivian graphics graduate from Liverpool John Moores University, Class of 2012. I completed my Art Foundation at Yale College Wrexham, a course that encourages alot of experimentation. My time there saw me getting published in the Aesthetica Creative Annual for a piece that involved putting double sided sticky tape on my friend’s cheeks and wrapping her face in bandages. She’s almost forgiven me. (via LJMU Graphic Design Graduate Emily Salinas « Business Boom Bolton)

My biggest regret would have to be moving away from Liverpool and attending University. Although the University was fantastic and I learned many skills and made life long friends, in terms of career progression this choice was not for me and I personally feel my work and creativity suffered because of it. It took me along time to realize that University is not for everyone and in hind sight I wish I would have spent those four years differently. My future plan is ambitious but at the moment I am currently working very hard with a fellow artist (Kyle Richardson) to set up a very special business we are in the early stages so we are keeping it incredibly secret .. but I will say some pretty exciting things are happening and I can not wait to launch and when we do Jared and the lovely people of Business Boom Collective will be the first to hear about it!..watch this space.

I am a 26 year old Freelance Graphic Designer. I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University with a BA Hons in Graphic Arts in 2008, prior to that I had completed my Foundation Arts at Hugh Baird College. Not long after leaving university I completed a work placement in a Liverpool design agency, where I was then offered a job. I worked with the company for three years and now I am working as a Freelancer. Although most of my work is design based, I have always been passionate about all areas of art and design. One of my first inspirations was Salvador Dalí, it was his work that originally sparked my interest in the art world. One of my all time design inspirations is Storm Thorgerson, most famously known for his Pink Floyd album art work. I have a huge interest in motorsports and would eventually like to be working in graphic design within the industry. My research project in my final year of university was about graphic design within Formula One, focussing on the liveries of the cars. I have been developing this work since then as it’s something that I still have a great interest in. (via Graphic Designer Showcase; Hayley Jones | Design Juices)

Leah Dougherty is a graphic designer currently working with web agency Rippleffect, in Liverpool. A recent graduate of Liverpool John Moores University she has specialised her work in illustration. I began my time at Uni specialising in illustration, but it never really seemed right. When I started, Graphic Design never really appealed to me. I loved to draw so Illustration seemed like the obvious path. However, by third year my work was becoming less ‘conventional’ illustration and more ‘conceptual’. Before I knew it I seemed to fall into creating these mad Infographics, but it came so naturally to me. I enjoyed the challenge of displaying information in a visually interesting way and do see myself as quite a versatile designer – placing value in research and detail.

1st June 2012, marks 15 years since Splinter Design first opened it’s doors back in 1997. Paul Musgrave has been quick to point out that he was running Splinter Graphics back in 1996, but it was 1997 that Paul and Chris formed the company as we know it today! To mark the occasion we’ve done a limited edition set of 97 prints. One side features the names of all the people who have been in some way part of the Splinter family over the years and the other side features a series of 15 designs that relate to happy memories from over the years. It has also been our first opportunity to have a bit of fun with our yet-to-be-unveiled new Splinter brand. (via Splinter Turns 15 Art Print Giveaway | Design Juices)
