Didn’t feel much bet­ter about run­ning late, though. Noth­ing worse than being late for a meet­ing, being on the right street, but being unable [...]

Inter­view: Alt Group

The BeST Awards roll into town tomorrow (that is, Friday 16 October, Auckland Museum). Last year's big graphic design winner was Alt Group, picking up the overall graphic prize, the Stringer Award, and a slew of golds, silvers and bronzes.

Given that this year they have a number of entries in a number of categories you'd probably be a fool to bet against them picking up an award or two this year too. Here's Alt Group's Ben Corban and Dean Poole talking design.
