Here Be Dragons

here be dragonsWe've just got back to the office from the official launch of the Newport Super Dragons and Empty Shops Projects (both part of Newport 2010 Festival). The event had a great turnout which was a positive sign of the health of the Newport art scene.Webber Design were responsible for the window graphics and shop signs of the Dragon's den, and both Rhys and Marion from Webber Design successfully pitched for one each of the 50 dragons on offer.In addition, Marion has some paintings on display in one of the empty shops, whilst Rhys is working with Newpart to fill our own empty shops with creativity.

“Rhys, just a quick note to thank you for you and your team's efforts on issue 35. I know we had some early design issues, but the speed and thoroughness with which you sorted them out was a credit to you. I think the end result is great, and certainly an improvement on where we came from! You have set a new benchmark - I look forward to issue 36.” Tim Rutter, Head of Comms, Corus Strip Products
