DescriptionMusgrave studied BA Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins. His work is an emotive guide for new students on how best to approach a degree in Graphic Design. Mountain climbing is taken as a metaphor to describe both the journey and the personal qualities needed to make that journey. The use of the climbing guide vernacular enforces the importance of information passed from peer to peer.
