Many many years ago in what now seems like a previous life, way back in the early 1990s (to about 2009) Simon Blazey (me) - As well as a being a Senior Designer was a Senior Lecturer (at the Sydney Graphics College; The Computer Graphics College and NSW College of Fine Arts).

​

I was also very very lucky. I was lucky to rub-shoulders with some of the most amazing - and most accomplished - Creative minds working in the Sydney industry at the time, many of which became friends (and bosses) and some of whom became genuine mentors.

​

One such mentor was (the late and sorely missed) Paul Priday. Not just a creative genius, but one of the nicest blokes I have ever met. I miss Paul a lot and I think of him almost daily as I - literally - go about my business.

​

Together we wrote and presented two Illuminating lectures to Design students and Industry: One on Visual Wit - and one on the power of HUGELY effective Branding - Which I have put together into one keynote seminar: EYE. HEART. MIND.

​

With a slight introduction (but the fundamentals) of Semiotics/Semiology, all makes for a pretty thorough 3 hour study on the subject on how visual communication guides each and every one of us - and how we innately interpret these subconscious visual cues .

​

I honestly believe that this in genuinely important subject matter and at the end of the day: Will seriously make a big difference to anyone trying to grasp how to give their shop; product or service its best shot in life - and GENUINELY make you re-evaluate what you do, and how you go about doing it. ESPECIALLY if you don’t have a marketing budget or team to hide behind, and are relying on your brand to do the initial and ongoing heavy-lifting.

​

Apart from all that, it’s pretty funny, Involving the wit and wisdom of: Graham Rendoth, Lawrence Hanley, Annette Harcus, Mario Milostic, Julian Canny, Andy McKeon, Andrew Lewis, James de Vries, and many other geniuses who I make SERIOUS examples of….

​

Any way the point being: I am available to present: EYE. HEART. MIND. to Businesses, Business Groups and Schools pretty-much anywhere!
