This is my deskspace. I used my Macbook Pro at the center of the image, because I feel that I couldn't do any work without it. I used books to the left and redesigned their covers with quotes that related to my studio practice (even thought you can hardly see them). I displayed my typeselecter as it shows my interest in typography, and having diet coke and a donut in the foreground, it showed my love of fizzy drinks and unhealthy food. I wanted my desk to have a slightly cluttered feel, but at the same time be quite organised, because that is the way I work. Displayed on my laptop is my website (www.martynhazell.co.uk), and the sheets in front of the books are my CV designs. Draped over the chair is my Harry Potter 'Gryffindor' scarf, with my Harry Potter book in display on the stack of books. Finally, I used two images on the wall, the photo of a group of us meeting the legendary Neville Brody and a quote that I find really relates well to my practice and my dissertation.
The idea behind the desk space photographs for promotion was when Neville Brody at a lecture in November 2009 said that many degree courses in design have limited class space, let alone an individual desk space... of which we have :). This, therefore, does not just reflect our own way of working, but the college as a whole.
