1. To whom it may concern,
I am the Course Director for the MA Graphic Branding and Identity Course at the London
College of Communication, University of the Arts, London. Emanuele Catena was a student
on the year long course and I was in regular contact with him during that period.
I have been responsible for his development through his learning experience on the Post
Graduate Course.
He was actively involved with all aspects of the Course and has been enthusiastically
engaged with his intellectual development. He has been consistent in his attendance at all
Course lectures and workshops.
I found Emanuele to be a perceptive and original thinker. He has a natural ability to express
himself visually in a clear and simple way. He has been receptive to new thinking and his
major research project, whilst a challenge, proved that he can develop interesting and
distinctive outcomes presented to a very professional standard.
This professional approach and his meticulous attention to detail are key to his success.
He is dedicated to becoming a strong creative thinker and serious in his focus to develop his
ability as a graphic branding designer.
I have enjoyed working with him and sincerely believe he would make a positive and creative
contribution to a design team or business environment.
Yours
John Bateson
