Sheffield based graphic designer, illustrator and AOI Member Lisa Maltby has set a great example of how we can turn negative experiences into great creative source material. Collating a number of put downs from both her professional and personal life, Lisa has created a hilarious series of typographic artworks from them!

Whilst some defy belief and others are more naive than malicious, Lisa’s project won her a great deal of plaudits, creative industry press and new awareness of her work. It’s an example of how we can channel our unique journeys and experiences into our output, forging our own identity and attracting the right kind of attention.
