Iceland trip

My work, Elmwood, has won an award for the work we did for the University of Aberdeen. Just before Christmas we created a student accommodation guide that has been warmly received both by the client and now by McNaughton Papers.

For those that don’t know, McNaughton are a leading paper company and like to have an
expensive annual awards do. This year it was in Reykyavík and, as Graeme Cook was over watching England getting beat at cricket in Trinidad, I was asked, as I did all the artwork on the job, if I fancied going over to collect the award. What could I do but say yes.

As well as the awards, we went 4x4 snow roading, ski-dooing, stood on a glacier, checked out some volcanic activity, danced along a tectonic plate, ate puffin, shredded wind-dried cod and rotten shark (which actually tasted worse than it sounds) and swam in a geothermal lake.

The whole trip was absolutely amazing and, if you get the chance to go to Iceland, grab it. Here’s the work and the trip in nice colour pictures.
