Respected citizen of the world,
Protagora said many centuries ago:
"Man is the yardstick that everything is measured by."
Events change us, and we will continually have to
re-evaluate our morals to bend and wrap them
into fitting the circumstances.
If anything at all needs to be changed,
probably injustice is what comes closest....
Dont let the darkness take over the future of humankind.
Some things never change...
unless you change them!!!

Darren Duncan (Malta)
Marco Scerri (Malta)
I was born in Toronto (Canada) in 1985 and I am a Maltese citizen aswell. I started my design studies at the age of 15, under the tuition of my father. The decision to start a career in Graphic Design was mainly influenced by the Graphic Design history of my family. My grandfather was one of the first Graphic Designers in Malta. So goes for my father who is an art director.
I started out by designing fictitious Music CD covers for my own fulfilment. This lead me to a period of reading and researching of Graphic Design literature. My initial work experience eventually kicked off in a printing press, where I learned the basics of offset lithography, the pre-press process and letterpress. Currently I'm an apprentice with Mangion & Lightfoot Ltd which happens to be one of the most distinguished Graphic Design studios in Malta. I am currently reading into a (BTEC) Higher National Certificate in Graphic Design. My dream is to use graphic design as a strong social medium rather than a consumerist medium.
