Roger Deakins
Graphic Design
1968-70?
A real hero of mine, and the cinematographer on many of the Coen brothers finest films, Roger Deakins, on the set of Sam Mendes's Skyfall with that car! And yes he went to Corsham, but just not quite sure of the exact dates.
Axel Scheffler
Illustration
1982-84
As a first year I was lucky enough to help a certain third year put up his degree show in Beechfield house to the sounds of the Cocteau Twin's Treasure album. He kindly rewarded me with an illustrated card for my younger sister which she loves til this day. The show got a first, Axel illustrated The Gruffalo, and what do you know this year his illustrations are on the Christmas stamps.
