We're working again with Nike to curate a calendar of creative events in their new 1948 pop-up store at Batemans' Row, London. Running until early October, a number of local figures will create work in the space.
Work added to the New Work blog includes projects created through YCN and good things seen elsewhere. Currently it's also a place to chart the creation of The World of YCN - a new physical project, key to the next YCN BOOK.
An agency runs as part of YCN; producing creative campaigns, projects and publications for varied external clients, as well as sourcing the finest design and illustration talent for creative organisations internationally.
