“Having small touches of colour makes it more colourful than having the whole thing in colour”Dieter Rams

I am a very enthusiastic, hardworking and driven individual who is very willing to try or learn anything that could further me as a designer or illustrator, I know everyone says it but I do genuinely love what I do. I love working with others but feel happy motivating myself to work individually. Quality is very important to me and I take great pride in my work through organisation, planning and research. I received lots of inspiration from things around me as well as the odd good website, interesting article or sometimes even a beer mat. I enjoy modern culture and also enjoy that it is rapidly changing, hopefully for the better. iPads & iPods are making everyone much more demanding which means we all have to up our game, I’m up for a challenge, it makes us all better in the long run.

KelloggsSummer PitchUsing ‘Why Don’t You...’ we pitched the idea of getting kids out and about and making sure they stay active, using cooking, craft and outdoor activities as a basis. We also pitched the idea of cut-in advertising to make the campaign really stand out.

On winning the pitch I created hand made type to fit in with the Kelloggs Rice Krispies logo, and all the artwork for the campaign. I researched activities to use and created teaser adverts, cut-in adverts and a wall planner and also on-line adverts to promote the localised in paper activity.

It coincides with the regen-eration of Colchester Garri-son and Harwich BathsideBay, which will increasedemand for skilled workersin the construction industry.

Paul Howlett, Haven Gate-way Partnership’s construc-

tion initiatives developmentmanager, said: “I was keen toensure that young peoplewho work for local construc-tion companies were used inthe initiative.

“I wanted to demonstratethe wide range of careers inconstruction and that,whether young people aregood with their hands or not,there are lots of opportuni-ties in construction.”

Adam Williams, a 21-year-old trainee site manager forPersimmon Homes Essex, isone of the young people fea-tured in a case study.

He said: “I was very happyto be involved in this initia-tive. It’s been a good chanceto present a balanced pictureof what the constructionindustry is all about and theopportunities it can offer.”

be thief is sprayed withdroplets of SmartWater Indexwhich, although harmless, ispractically impossible to com-pletely remove from skin,clothing and footwear.

The solution is virtuallyundetectable under normallight, however, any traces ofthe liquid will glow underultraviolet light.

Dance judge joins town hall row

THE outspoken dance teacherfrom Dartford, Len Goodman,has written to Bexley Council

urging it not to allow the townhall to become a restaurant withflats above, but to “restore it toits former glory”.

The town hall, in CrayfordRoad, Crayford, is included inplans for a £30m redevelopmentproject for the town centre.

The plans include a newlibrary and health centre, 180flats and a new central square,which it is hoped will become thefocal point of the town.

But some residents are angrythe town hall, which used to be amajor entertainment venue andpublic hall, with council officesabove, will not be retained forcommunity use.

Instead, developer HFHAGroup intends to turn theground floor into a 180-seatrestaurant, with apartments onthe upper floors.

A new, smaller community hallwith an outside roof terrace, willbe provided on the upper floor ofthe new library building frontingthe central square.

The town hall has beenclosed to public use since Octo-ber 2001 after its sprung dancefloor started to subside, althoughthe council has continued touse the upstairs floors asoffices.

In 2002, 10 years after beingsaved from demolition in 1992 bya public outcry, the council putits future on hold, claimingrepairs costing nearly £500,000were needed to keep the buildingin use.

Alan Thompson, chairman ofthe Crayford Forum, which hasbeen leading the fight to keep thetown hall in community use, sayshe has sought expert advice onthe subsiding floor, the onlyremaining sprung dance floor inthe borough.

Mr Thompson claims it wouldcost less than £50,000 to resolvethe subsidence and restore thedance floor to full use.

THOSE people fighting to save Crayford TownHall for public use point back to its heyday asa major entertainment venue.

Dartford lad Keith Richards, now betterknown as one of the Rolling Stones, hasrecalled how he first saw veteran Britishrocker Joe Brown at the town hall in 1962.

It was famous for its cabaret and charitynights which attracted all the big entertain-ment names of the day and audiences includedstars such as John Thaw and DennisWaterman from the television series TheSweeney.

It also hosted Sunday concerts with top

names from Sadlers Wells and the EnglishNational Opera.

The public area of the town hall has its ownstage, dressing rooms and a bar, and has alsohosted large events such as dances held bylocal groups, children’s entertainment andfashion shows.

Len Goodman recalls first dancing in a com-petition in the town hall in 1968.

Alan Thompson, chairman of CrayfordForum, believes the building should be savedfor similar uses in the future and says MrGoodman’s support has been a huge boost forthe forum’s campaign.

BEXLEY Council claims only a minority ofpeople are against the plans for the townhall.The issue has divided Crayford’s council-lors, with two backing the developer HFHAGroup’s proposals, and one siding withthe opposition, led by the CrayfordForum.The council argues the plans to create aground-floor restaurant where the currentpublic space and stage are, and apart-

ments above, are an integral part of theredevelopment scheme.It says as part of the business case for thescheme, Bexley made it clear althoughthere was a preference for communityuses to be retained on the ground floor ofthe town hall, possibly with a cafe orrestaurant, the council was always pre-pared to consider alternative commercialuses which would secure the future of thebuilding, as long as community facilitieswere provided elsewhere in thedevelopment.A council spokesman said the developerhad complied with this requirement of thescheme.

IS PLAN VITAL TO PROJECT?

LEN Goodman, now as famousfor his television appearanceson Strictly Come Dancing andits American counterpart ashe is for dancing, has backedCrayford Forum’s efforts tosave Crayford Town Hall forpublic use.

In his letter to Bexley Coun-cil, he says: “With the advent ofStrictly Come Dancing, ourdance studio along with manyothers, has seen a huge resur-gence in ballroom dancing.”

Mr Goodman (pictured)

adds: “One of the prob-lems is finding a venue suit-able for people to dance in.

“We find the need, more andmore, to hire premises for ourevents and the only suitableplace at the moment isWoodville Halls in Gravesend.”

He said he would certainlybe interested in holdingevents at a restored townhall “and possibly even mov-ing the dance school there”,which is currently based inDartford.

Dance expert and lead judge on BBCprogramme Strictly Come Dancing LenGoodman has entered the row over thefuture of Crayford Town Hall. LINDA PIPERreports.

I can probably hold my own in the majority, oh and I can bowl a bit, Ten Pin that is. An avid football fan despite supporting Sheffield Wednesday and i’ll watch pretty much most sports but do like my American sports ie Basketball and American Football.

I enjoy reading; be it a biography or graphic novel, that and I do like comics. I kind of collect toys but good ones, retro stuff and collectables.

Travelling has been encompassed, I’ve been to Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Malaysia, I’d like to do more and experience maybe South America and possibly try Route 66 in the States, mainly to see some those ‘World Biggest..’ attractions

I enjoy socialising, cinema and friends are often a good combination, great fans of films and trying new foods [wouldn’t recommend the century egg in Thailand] but willing to try most stuff. Big fan of real ales and trying to develop that sophisticated pallet.
