The September issue of CR is all about this year's graduates. We have given all our feature space over to eight eager, fresh-faced young creative types yearning to make their mark

They are:

James Callahan and Joe Keirs from University of Leeds

Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth from Kingston

Tomomi Sayuda from LCC

Mark Boardman from Falmouth

Tom Lovell from Lincoln (who also designed the cover this month)

And Eilin Bergum from Ravensbourne

As well as showing their work, we have also asked them about their hopes, dreams and fears about starting a career in visual communication. All of them will be showing their work at an exhibition that we are staging with Mother at Downstairs at Mother from September 3 to 12 (more on this soon)

 

Also in this issue....

We have the first in a series of exclusive extracts from Adrian Shaughnessy's new book, Graphic Design: A User's Manual

 

Rick Poynor reports from the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival

 

magCulture's Jeremy Leslie begins his new monthly column on magazines, plus James McNulty asks what ad agencies mean by the 'big idea'

 

Guy Bird reveals why Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant's book Subway Art (recently released in a 25th anniversary edition) was such an influence

 

And Gordon Comstock discusses the world of chatty objects

 

And you can win an Olympus Pen digital SLR worth £700 in our Gallery competition

The September issue of CR is out on August 27

Back cover design by Eilin Bergum

Great to see that every of these graduates has a website. I remember going to degree shows only a couple of years ago and being amazed that hardly anyone had one - which meant there was no way to see their work elsewhere, or, crucially, to show it to others. I hope it's now widespread, beyond just the ones you've picked.

I remember all the buzz about Tom Lovell's Keep-Us Busy project. This guy clearlyhas a bright future ahead of him. Can't wait to have a sneek at the rest of these people.

Let's just hope they don't all move to/stay in London...

Good work but a shame the spread of graduates couldn't have been better...one from each institute instead of 2 from Leeds and Kingston and at least one from Scotland. Just my two cents.

@BS
There are two from Leeds and two from Kingston because they work in teams - we couldn't exactly take one and not the other

Given the situation most graduates find themselves in, the back cover should perhaps read 'free labour inside'.

Why are the extras from 'Shaun of the Dead' on the front cover of CR?
It's seriously freaking me out like a bad CV.

Agreed Alex.

I don't think that back cover message is doing other graduates and entry-level folks any favours at all...

I'm really happy for the graduates for being able to get someone like CR to turn their focus on them. FINALLY!
It took a financial crises to get them to question 'What are all the students going to do when they graduate??"
Each year there are some great students that enter the working creative world, and we should praise the ones that have worked so hard to get there for 3 years (if not more).
Hopefully with some publicity from CR these talented individuals will get payed and appreciated for their talent.
But what about the talent from last year who are still struggling to be seen? And will next years talent get this kind of praise? The credit crunch has and will effect them as well..

I agree it's fantastic to see CR giving students the publicity and opportunity to show off their creative talent. It'd be great to see something similar to this issue consistently published by CR in a similar style to the Annuals we see each year.

Looks like a good issue - anything that gives students a leg up.
Did you guys offer a placement at the magazine?
