N+R is a portfolio from two old university friends, Ricky Bowry and Nick Bastian, who both graduated with degrees from The Arts Institute at Bournemouth. Bowry studied BA (Hons) Illustration while Bastian studied BA (Hons) Graphic Design. Their first paid job was designing the letterheads and business cards for Bowry’s father’s flooring business. Their combination of skills ensures that they are capable of taking on remits with wider scope. We asked Bowry and Bastian what aspects of being a web designer they enjoyed most. They reliably informed us that, “The best part is the splitsecond reaction you get when given a new brief. It is the moment when hundreds of ideas and images flood into your mind. This is when you need a pen and paper most. Also, when you have finished a demanding project and you receive good feedback, you know it has been worthwhile.” The future looks bright for the boys as they told us, “Without continual innovation, web design will become the creation of a shell to contain information, rather than enhance it”.
