Such a strong collection of work. There seems to be a a really high standard this year in what I've seen so far from graduates. Charlie Sheppard has some fantastic work on his website with more images of his 'sport laughs...' project. Congrats people!

Adore the typographic flatpack furniture by Mark Matcham. His site has some great work on it, although I'm bowled over by the Deck Chair project... http://www.markmatcham.co.uk/#1477986/THE-DECK-CHAIR

Great collection of work. Ms Satchell's grasp of typography is excellent. Some of the best work I've seen from any young designer let alone a graduate. Website definitely worth a look.
