On Wednesday I had a guest lecture at the university from Craig Oldham, and it was defiantly an experience.

Craig made us aware at the beginning of the lecture that he swears ALOT. Which he does. It came as a shock at first. He cursed more times in a sentence than I do in a week, not considering he was in front of 20+ students and a tutor. In a way this was his appeal. There was a real sense of 'No Bullshit' to the talk, that he was giving it to us straight, which was exactly what we needed to hear. This approach helped as he didn't tip toe around the problems and struggles young designers will come up against when graduating, he merely told us the blunt truth. Before the lecture took place we were asked to vote on Craig's Lecture Website on subject we wanted him to cover during the talk. This was a really good idea as it allowed Craig to talk about subject we all wanted to to know more about,

The five he covered were:

- Different types of designers (figure out which one you are)

- Music (Manchester based agency)

- Portfolio's

- Placements

- Graphic Design is 'DEAD'
