- Introducing the new concept and visuals- Along with the artist profile intros to the duo behind the idea..
(directing you to the section on my wesbite for VSP - where I summarise and explain the whole concept)
"The VS Project, or ‘Visual Stimuli Project’, is another side-brief which Sam has been collaboratively working on with another recent-grad creative, cameraman - Max Ward.
Starting out as just a visual inspiration blog on Instagram, they have plans to develop this into a creative platform promoting not only themselves and their current projects but their inspirations, day-to-day activities and charitable work too.
Driving themselves forward as fresh, recent-grad creatives with a current and playful yet professional approach, the boys will be offering themselves independently and as a collaborative duo - available for freelance and commissions.
With plans to push their works into a more charitable realm - they aim to raise money and produce fund-raiser projects for charities such as Cancer Research, Breast Cancer Research and Help for Heroes. Eventually feeding into their big travel plan, set to begin in April next year!
“We both visited Thailand in the summer and could not get enough it - the people, the scenery, the lifestyle! We knew straight away this was somewhere we wanted to explore in more depth and definitely allow to inspire and drive our personal projects into something more intriguing and eye-opening for viewers potentially wanting to visit more of the far east.
After hearing the endless stories about the mistreatment of wildlife (such as elephants in the tourism industry out there) but also the small yet friendly communities, and beautiful yet challenging environments they face on a day-to-day basis; really put it into perspective for us how we can use this fire in our bellies to get out there and capture this insane amount of content and possibility - as well as potentially do something great for them at the same time!”
They plan to take the leap across the globe and plunge into Asia come April 2019, which will then involve up to 3 months of exploring, networking and documenting everything they come across - from stories of small communities hard at work, to heart-warming families living out in the wilderness; from the truth about elephants within the tourism industry and what places like Chang-Mai are doing to reduce this, to what really lies within the crazy back streets of Bangkok and how the ever-emerging tattoo culture has evolved into this new connected world we live in.
On their list so far includes countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bali; but theres definitely a lot more info and content to come yet, so don’t worry!
After this period in Asia, the VS boys hope to settle into the Aus way of life for a bit - focusing on re-building funds, whilst gathering and reflecting on all they have seen and worked on in their 3 months out on the road. Continuing to drive this content into fresh audiences through their social medias and links made, as well as building new circles within the Australian design scene too.
“Australia will signify a new chapter, a chapter filled with creative opportunity through our travels whilst networking with local creatives and studios and just seeing how we can fit into the scene with what we have at that time.”
Anyone interested in what the VS Project have in-store can get involved or simply say hi via our personal emails at this time.

Artist Profiles / Intros
MAX WARD
Max is a recent-grad from the University of Hertfordshire specialising in film and television production.
With aspirations of becoming a Director of Photography in a range of genres - his main focus, documentary production, has fallen perfectly into the joint ambition of Visual Stimuli.
Max has developed a lot of important key skills during his time at university, not to mention a serious love for burgers, beer and Dj’ing!
Max hopes the Visual Stimuli Project will provide many new pathways into the creative industry not only doing what he loves and does best, but also exposing himself to an array of charities and inspirational people.

SAM HUGHES
Sam is a recent-grad from Leeds Arts University, specialising in all things Motion and Graphic Design.
With a burning desire to travel and create fresh content for an audience, he gave birth to the joint brain-child ‘The VS Project’ to do just that!
Meeting new people and experiencing amazing places are on all travellers lists, but for Sam he aims to do this whilst documenting and drawing inspiration from everything as he goes creatively - building this collection of memories and lessons learnt for all of the world to see.
With a current and playful yet professional approach, he has an endless love for film and art, and especially music - which is reflected through his developing platform ‘AV8’.
But with his prioritised goals set for the VS Project he hopes this will not only take him and his side-projects worldwide, but also immerse him into the creative industry even further, whilst always developing his skills in a variety of disciplines.
