As well as using Illustrator and InDesign, Tom Peet favours traditional methods such as letterpress and silkscreen, often combining the two forms of media. “After two years at college I had a basic knowledge of graphic design,” he says, “but it was at university that I learnt the fundamental rule of function before form and the importance of ideas and concepts.” This is particularly reflected in his love of Josef Müller-Brockmann’s work and his use of typography and grids.

Now in his third year of uni, Peet’s actively searching for work placements. “I’m continually learning the importance of strong concepts and the development of ideas, combining the two to create innovative and professional solutions to any design problem.”

Form and Function “This is a visual guide to architecture in Barcelona,” says Peet. “By using a colour-coded radial map and gradient mapping, the user can determine the time and distance it takes to reach each location. The aim is to promote the idea of walking and exploring the city.”
