Duane Dalton

Duane Dalton is a graphic designer and artist from Dublin, now working in London. Check out our chat with him below. EM: What inspired you to become a graphic designer? DD: I didn’t really discover graphic design until quite late in my education. I always had a keen interest in art and achieved a degree in that subject. My artwork always embraced a graphic aesthetic, often exploring simple forms and colours. After my art degree I went back to college to study graphic design, or at least what I believed to be graphic design at the time. In my first week in the graphic design course my tutor introduced me to the work of Wim Crouwel and Josef Müller Brockmann. This opened up a whole new world to me, I couldn’t believe this type of work existed. It seemed to be something I had been looking for the whole time I was doing my art degree. It was at this moment I knew graphic design was something worth pursuing.
