“My influences are varied,” says Ashley Colbeck, who’s also known by creative nom de plume Vorm. “I enjoy browsing through fashion magazines – not for the editorial but for the typography and layout. I have a passion for typography and have recently started creating my own typefaces.”

A recent graduate of the London College of Communication, Colbeck says he likes to produce work that’s uncomplicated, from identity and branding to print and web design. He believes he’s lucky to be currently working as an intern at Thompson Brand Partners in Leeds: “Graduates are having a tough time at the moment and experience is now more relevant than ever.”

Folio A self-promotional project, which Colbeck feels is vital in the current climate, where competition for work is fierce. “I designed and printed a number of books; each promotional portfolio book contains 10 selected projects. They were packaged in metallic black bubble envelopes and sent to friends and potential employers.”
